Not trying to preach, but in this day there is no excuse to use anything other than Paypal or similar services. Way too risky. Once had a friend send a few hundred for an amp and tube and received a box full of dumb bells.

Oh well, hope your boy gets the equip. or his money back. Good luck.

Paypal ain't what its cracked up or advertised to be. There is a site called paypalsucks that has nothing but horror stories.

Well, I've had nothing but good experiences, but that's why I said "or similiar services". An intermediary that will provides some avenue for recourse is priceless.

Paypal does suck. They can make it impossible to get a refund. ALWAYS put it on a credit card with Paypal. Your credit card has MUCH BETTER fraud protection.

They tried to screw me on a Comand Scam. Paypal and Ebay are the same company.

I left a voicemail with the mod of MBKlasse also, asking for some attention on this person aka brabusccoupe over there, but seems my request has been ignored.

I highly recommend that people mention this person as a collective group over here as well as over there, and expose his exploits as much as you can. More pple make a louder voice, and a louder voice is more likely to be heard.

Sorry I couldn't help you guys out more, but as you all know, my hands are tied.

Yeah, BrabusCcoupe = Mic230Coupe = Michael Foley = Eric Barlow

BrabusCcoupe and Mic230coupe are selling the same stuff using the same pictures and providing the same addresses. I just can't believe that the boards let this crap go on. Sure is funny how brabusCcoupe sold the stuff and then mic230coupe had it for sale again.

paypal sucks a lot...this same micc230dude paid us through paypal for some parts...unfortunately it took paypal more then 24 hours to figure out that his payment was no good and by that time we had already send the good sout...parts gone (amongst which a climate control unit...) and no money as paypal apparently does not screen their customers very well.

greetingz,
