| Johnno,
What a raw deal you`ve got going on here - sorry to hear it. I am glad you`ve made this post, but I find myself getting quite angry while reading it. To read rappypapys`response - as if he is the one who has been wronged - is pretty darn tough to take.
Thieves are always the same. When they get caught, they often play the victim even in the face of overwhelming evidence against them. As I understand it, this knucklehead had your payment in hand for nearly two weeks and he still hadn`t shipped out the goods. Now he`s acting like you`re scamming him! Yet he has not posted anything remotely credible to support his version of events.
Honestly, I think we tend to be too soft on these types of individuals. I say; hang him out to dry as high, and for as long as you possibly can.
Having said all that, let me reaffirm that the vast majority of people are essentially honest and good. This appears to be especially true here on RR and in our Hobby as a whole. Perhaps that is why it is all so vexing. We expect to be occassionlly cheated on a Used Car Lot. But in this Hobby, where so much of what we learn and achieve is derived from the generous support of others, a situation like yours is particularily distainful.
