Not going into excessive detail with my side, partly because none of the rest of you are involved and mostly because I feel that I told this person that I'd provide him an answer by Monday (and explained to him WHY I wouldn't have the tracking number until today, which he apparently doesn't understand and didn't mention) and he posted this before Monday. Maybe he's day of the week impaired, maybe he just likes to try to be hurtful and damaging and that boosts his ego - whatever. Anyone reading this is more than welcome to check all my feedback both here and on eBay (same user name) and to use that in their decision. If you *REALLY* think that I'd send him the cars and intentionally not send him the bodies... that make sense, to ANYone? On my end, if the person that sent the package tells me that they checked the tracking number and it's been delivered - and then a total stranger tells me it hasn't... who am I to believe? I told him I'd check it out when I could. I told him that if it showed that it'd been delivered to him that he was on his own (is that wrong?) and that if it hadn't I'd try and find out where they went. Then then he posts here? Before finding out what happened? Is he *trying* to not get the bodies he paid for? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Nobody here *has* to like my attitude. I don't *have* to be your best buddy to complete a transaction. If I tell someone that I'll buy something, and they agree, and then they sell it to someone else - yes, I'll say something. If I tell someone that something is shipping ON TUESDAY and they email me four times asking if something has shipped - I may ignore that because in my world they should understand what TUESDAY meant. How many times must someone repeat the same thing before the other party understands? If I were going to ship on Thursday, I would say Thursday. If I said Tuesday and shipped on Wednesday - I'd TELL you. I know a lot of you may find me abrasive, but that doesn't bother me. I won't lose sleep, I won't fret over this post made by someone that comes across as unstable in some ways. I won't even check this thread again, nothing good will come of it.
Final note: I *do* expect that when the bodies arrive (since I *did* find out where they went - and it's still MONDAY <gasp!>) this person will post as much. I do also expect him to tell you that NOTHING that I've told him was untrue or was a lie. Why do I expect that? Same reason I expect people to know that Monday means Monday and the like. Truth doesn't lie.

you didnt respond to a request....instead your insulted that a*customer* had the nerve to ask about an item you sent. you say the tracking number was verified but yet did not provide him with it,if it were me i would have given him the number and been done with it.
btw-all of this would have been avoided if you had just sent a reply saying my tracking shows it was delivered as soon as i know what's up i'll let you know.it would have been done and over.
one other thing,you may go through life treating people like they are lesser than you and not give a damn,but remember what goes around comes around.

You know what...never mind. I initially posted a response here but it did nothing but re-hash what has already been said.
LasagnaCat sent me a PM explaining what has happened with the bodies and it is an entirely understandable mistake. The bodies will be here in due course and I will update when that has occured.
We also agree to disagree on "level of service" issues. I hope at some point he understands this was never about not trusting him--never. I just believe that he would be well-served to provide a LITTLE more communication and take a close look at the tone of same.

Thank you for posting this thread, it is very informative.
BTW, I would suggest that people do not put too much faith in EBAY feedback. MANY times, screwed over buyers/sellers will not post negative feedback (even though a bad transactions has occured) because they fear feedback retaliation from the offending party.

Granted the deal got finished and he got the items he paid for, but this IS the feedback forum. He DID say he got both the packages, but he also included that the guy had bad communications and customer service. Whats wrong with that? Its no difference than anyone asking "Have ya delt with so and so before?" And a person telling them yeah, but there customer service sucks. So for him giving that info on his experiance, I dont see ANYTHING wrong with it. And I for one am glad he posted it. I myself, no matter how good of deal it is, would rather deal with a person who is more of a friendly person with good communications and pay a bit more, than deal with a pric and get a good price. So again, thanks for posting your TRUE experiance with this guy.
(Im also not saying this guy might always have a crappy additude or is a bad seller (I dont know him and never delt with him), but its good to know he can flame up every once in a while)

UPDATE
Today (Thursday) the bodies arrived safe-n-sound in my PO box. Thank you to Mr.T-Maxx/Scott for helping Marc and I out by re-mailing them.
One more time...I was never worried about not getting them, but I promised Marc I would post here when they were received in case some people were concerned.
None of this was EVER about thinking I was being ripped off.
Best,
Scottrik

Mr. LasagnaCat,
Might I suggest you go back to Ebay, for which you have thus "illustrious" feedback rating with, and see about buying yourself some people skills? The "I'm not here to be your buddy/friend" line has been used so much, you've actually carved a rutt into your own vocabulary. It would be bittersweet to have others brow-beating and waddling their finger at you, as if YOU were the troublesome adolescent in need of guidance. And, speaking as a parent, I certainly hope you do not have children of your own. If you do *gasp*, I hope that you raise them on a higher moral standard than that of your own.

For the guy above, he posted in the wanted section looking for a reversing esc. Sent him a PM, told him what I had, he sent me back a smarmy PM saying he could buy a new one for the almost same price. PM'd him back, told him he was most likely confusing what I had with a different model (which he was) and told him a bit more about what I had. He PM'd me back with an offer for ten dollars less than the price I gave him, when the price I gave him was already $10-20 less than the esc normally sells for used. He sent the offer *before* he asked for more information, and before he was even sure what he was sending the offer for, and apparently before he had any idea of the value of the esc. At that point, I simply told him that there wasn't going to be a sale on the esc. I was not rude, there was no "attitude" on my end.. he just seemed clueless, it was Friday night and we were headed out, and I didn't want to get any more involved in the situation. You know how it is, if it seems like a buyer doesn't know *exactly* what they're buying, it inevitably leads to trouble later on. I'd rather keep the esc than have that happen, no burning desire for it to be sold immediately. As for the implied attitude.. you shouldn't attach tone to typed text, you'll often be wrong. My exact words were "there's not going to be a sale here." Just a statement, no attitude involved. Simply my choice as a seller, should I *have* to sell to anyone? No.
http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthread.php?t=115164 - look here for the explanation of why the poster directly above you posted in my feedback thread, then get back to me. Things aren't always as they appear.
As for the guy that started this thread... the full story was never told there either. His purchase didn't fit in one box, had two boxes to ship to him. The mrs. sent them (three total, one to someone else) out via UPS and told me on a Friday that they'd all been delivered. He started sending me half a dozen angry "Where are my bodies?" emails and PM's when the box with the cars showed up and the box with the bodies didn't. Told him that UPS said they'd been delivered, told him I'd check on it on Monday (she had the tracking #'s at work) and would get back to him... simply couldn't do anything until then. Seemed like he was trying to pull a fast one (she said they'd been delivered, do I believe the mrs. or a total stranger?) but either way there was nothing that could be done at the moment - I'd let him know Monday. That's when he posted here over the weekend. Did I have "attitude" with him? Yes. Did his emails/pm's to me cause that? Yes. Was it his "attitude" that put me on edge to begin with? Yes. Told him I'd check into it, and he posted here before waiting for me to do so. Turns out that the error was on my end, I sent two boxes to the person that should have received one. Had the third party resend the box to the original poster, paid the guy for the shipping, and even sent him some parts free for the trouble. It was a simple mistake brought about by two similar names, I said as much and it was fixed immediately... as you can see above.
I have no problems with 99.9% of the people I deal with. The other 1% that I somehow seem to attract.. whoa.
For anyone reading this.. price seems to be the sticking point where people get upset. If I'm asking $80 and you offer me $60, I'll tell you no. Simple as that. If I wanted $60, I'd ask for $60. Only want to spend $60? Look elsewhere/find a different seller/make a WTB post.. lots of ways to go about your business. Most people are okay with that, some people take being told no as a personal insult as Woodman did. They're toy cars, it's not that serious.

Could it be you're just lazy/effortless? Perhaps. I understand that you're not exactly wanting to shove it out the door here, but if you're not willing to be of any assistance, then please do not PM me with your offer. Period. As for your perceived "attitude", it was most-certianly evident. Take a look one second. Several members here would agree. It's not what you say to someone, LC, it's how you say it, and how it is percieved. Once again, live-n-learn.

I'll take comfort in turning my back on our deal, even after I offered full asking price. Would you eat at a restaurant where the matredee makes rude comments on your clothing/grooming before he seats you?
I highly doubt it.

Since you seem to overlook some key statements here, I'll repeat myself. Next time, plz state that your price is "firm".
That's F-I-R-M.

The motor leads were bare because people usually solder them directly to the motor. There was, however, a Dean's plug on the battery leads, and the switch and rx leads were intact and not damaged in the least. The esc works fine, not sure how you're using "busted" there. There is a drop of CA on the side, by where one of the tabs had a small crack. Ran it that way for over a year.. busted, he says. As for the pic.. there's a heatsink (comes with it) that goes directly on top of the esc, as many of you know. The lettering, identifying the esc, is UNDER THE HEATSINK. If you can't recognize an LRP esc by it's color and size... oh boy. As far as the exact model, you have to take the word of the seller when the heatsink is attached.. sorry you didn't know that either.

Good luck with your search, and again.. you're adding tone to typed text. Not always prudent.

I didn't send you a direct link, I guess I expect people to be able to Google. If you'd asked for one, one would have been provided.
Noticed how I highlighted "series" for you, and the site states nothing about there being "series" instructions for a group of models? If you'd like I can provide a direct like for you? (that's sarcasm by the way, ....so that you are getting the right "tone")

For those of you reading this thread, I'll summarize it up for you.
I have a Bluejay out back that loves to fly into my rear sliding glass door roughly 80-100 times/day. No, I'm not kidding. It does this because it cannot seem to get it into it's head that it is flying into a solid object. Why it cannot understand that, and continue it's path to a very painful lesson? I simply do not know.
Well today, I named that Bluejay "LasagnaCat"
