    Looking back through his post history, he looks like a typical scammer. Post a few wanted threads and topical threads to built up your post count then throw a for sale thread in there for some rare parts. Even the picture of the wind deflectors looks suspect. Why would you post a screen shot of the phone showing the photo that you have just taken? You would just show the actual photo surely?

    I hate to say it and I might be wrong but this guy seems like a scammer!

    He bought 2 180 shells off me, and a lot of other parts, no issues, good guy from my experience could only imagine it is a genuine story

    Well this is his webpage which was regularly updated until the time you made your purchase so maybe something is up

    From what I can see he wasn't exactly low-key. Looks genuine to me. Hopefully its all resolved soon.

    He hasn't updated his Instagram since early September either: https://instagram.com/wanabedrifter/

    I'd say it's legit as well, he's either disappeared off the face of the earth or does have personal problems and currently sorting that out.

    Like Chris said, if you paid via paypal you will be able to put a claim in.

    Unless you paid as a gift of course, in which case, more fool you.

    Thanks guys, I want to believe him. when he text me on the 11th of sep he said he sent it out the day before, said i should have it wednesday 16th
    and also said about his boy, I then left it for 2-3 weeks or so before contacting him, but no reply since
    i didnt get a the courier name or tracking number, it might be post problem

    yes it was covered with paypal, but it had timed out by a few hours lol
