Yeah, at one type of person, bad cops. They need it. Nothing worse than a LEO harboring ill will on people he is supposed to be protecting. That's a hard one not to criticize.
You're trying pretty hard at this, jumping threads and all, but I'm done with it 392

A short note from the Banana Republic formerly known as Miami, Florida.

The US Postal Inspection Service may be interested in this case.  They will go after just about anyone who uses the mail to take advantage of postal customers.  As a matter of fact, my wife - who works as an Analyst for the Inspection Service - is working on a case in which the suspects have been selling items on eBay, taking payment and not shipping the product.  I'm sure that if enough people complain to them, they will investigate these claims.

I got this e-mail from him today. Seems like he is still trying to resolve the problem.

"No, I didn't rip anyone off.  It was a Canadian shipment (and 8-3/4 carrier) and I am still fighting with UPS.  The container it was in busted through the bottom and they are giving me a hastle getting it through customs.  I asked that they just send it back to me, but they say the Canadian Customs people have possession of it.  I don't know what else to do other than wait.
 
The fenders can be had for $300 both sides, no rust period.  Shipping will be actual after getting them off and boxed up.
 
Jim"

He may be telling the truth. A while back, I was talking with a guy, and he told me that he refuses to order any of his stuff from Canada any more, because sometimes it gets tied up for a long time at the border.

If the hold up is customs there should be paperwork that was sent to the seller.  The seller should be able give you a copy by email or fax if customs has it.  If UPS is invlolved there is also a tracking number.  It is lousy that you are having this problem.

I've dealt with this guy before, DO NOT send him any more $$, he is a ripoff artist. He sold me a 383 long block, i specificly asked him if it turned free, he told me yes. When I picked it up, it was in the middle of a monsoon, so being the trusting type i did not check it, and he did tell me it turned over. Get it home, and it's frozen solid. After trying to get him to make good on it, which he would not, I gave up. I do have a plan to visit him someday......
