Have you tried using the tracking number he sent you to see if it's a good number and if so to see where the package is?

He Never sent a tracking number he told me on the phone that he would but
never did, and he doesn't answer his phone or any emails I have sent.

I am beginning to think I got ripped off....

If he's not answering your e-mails here's a trick. Go to one of your buddies house and send him an e-mail from there pretending to be someone else that's interested in that same piece of equipment. Just ask him if it's still available and see if he answers it. If he does you know for sure he's a crook. Especially if he answers that he still has it for sale. If he don't answer that may mean he has had something bad happen that don't allow him to get to his e-mail. i.e. Family illness or death or he may be sick and in the hospital. Good luck.

Gosh and if he reads your brilliant trick, then what? That's just as bad as the news agencies reporting that the American military is going to launch a massive offensive somewhere. Nothing like giving clues out!

You may be right but who says he's reading this thread. You'd sure think if he is unless he don't care at all about his reputation he'd at least get in and say what's up and make up some excuse as to why he hasn't shipped it. Know what I mean Vern??
