i thought i was buying 65warrior's edelbrock heads that were listed in the race parts section of this forum.
i'm away from home for work, my bank isn't anywhere near me, and he wanted a M/O for payment method, which is understandable. I can only get $xxxxx per day from the ATM so i said if you sell them before i get the money out that's cool, just let me know.
a few days later he says he's coming practically right past my house and said he could drop them off. that was awesome, except i'm not home. so i mapquested it and, from work, i'm 2.5-3 hrs away from him.
i asked if he'd could meet me in a town about half hour south of him later in the week or on the weekend. i said i would leave work a few hours early and meet him in the evening. he said saturday was good for him, and to let him know for sure on friday.
he pm's me friday around 4pm and asks if i still wanted the heads. i replied as soon as i could, which was about 5:30pm, saying yes, and asking for his # so we could arrange meeting time and place.
never heard from him again. so i pm'd him about 4pm today asking him to text me if he wanted to sell the heads. few minutes later he posted "sold" in his for sale thread. didn't say jack to me.
i'm not real mad about it, but i feel it's pretty sleazy for him to sell them after we agreed on a pickup day. it wouldn't have taken any time for him to pm me and say he had someone else interested in them.
he might be the greatest person in the world, i don't know??? i do know i would think twice before buying anything from him.
