BEWARE: HolyLight (username)
This guy HolyLight offered to buy my headers with a low ball offer... & i'm a pretty lenient guy to begin with so I decided to accept his offer. anyways, He kept saying he's out of town or whatever & us both being 25mins apart I offered the option of dropping it off to do an in person transaction... His response i'm in europe on work stuff you can ship it to someone I know. I said until i recieve the paypal then I will ship. He then asked if i had a "bank account" info..... Like c'mon my guy i'm not stupid but this is mainly to inform any of you guys if someone ask these questions. I'm pretty sure he's a scammer

Looks like I swung the hammer on this fellow to soon. He sent an very reasonable explanation by PM, and I've reinstated his account.

Ben,
I'd like this thread to go away, but don't want to ignore ztuned's stuff. Can you move it to another thread?

I've moved the posts in question, but I wouldn't get rid of this thread unless @Arteeste agrees after hearing out what @HolyLight has to say?

Ok, since I now have the previlige to defend myself, I will restate what I told to the mods. Let's see if Arteeste agrees or not. I don't want to be known as a scammer, which I am not.

Arteeste asks for 515 shipped for the headers, I proposed 450 plus shipping
He said he had a pending buyer, I did not say a word.
Few days later, I asked him if he sold the header, he said the buyer did not show up, so he can do it 475 shipped or drop it for 460 since we are close.
I told him I am out of country so I cannot get it myself, but can give him an address for shipping.
I accepted 475 shipped and gave him my full name and address, also asked for his Paypal.
He gave me his Paypal address, I told him payment will be done in half an hour.
Later that day, I was unable to send him the money due to some Paypal problem (or some country restriction whatnot) and told him the same. I asked if he has a bank account or if any other method of payment is possible for him.
He told me the first person to make the payment by Paypal gets the header.
I told him that I am not asking from him to ship it without getting his money, just an alternative payment method.
He told me he won't do business with me any longer.
I said Ok, it is his choice.
He put my username in the scammer list.

I don't know if he has more to say.

Nope, everything he said is true. Honestly I'm not the one to trust that. You said the payment would be done in a half an hour. A day later & nothing received. I have the messages to prove it & you almost forgot one thing when you said "don't you have an bank account or something else, I'm trying to send you money" like why would I give you my bank account? Seriously.... Ask your self that when I already provided you my paypal info

@HolyLight you sound totally reasonable. I too have asked for bank account information to send money to members here and done so successfully. It does not strike me as odd in the least, especially since you said that Paypal was being problematic (no surprise there).

It is up to you to trust me or not but don't forget that I would be the one to hope and pray that you ship the item if I was able to send the payment. I took that risk for someone I don't know. You are of course free to not to give me your account information, a simple "NO" would be enough for me. I was just looking for other ways of payment. This does not give you the right to accuse me for scamming and getting me banned.

Anyways, I really wanted that header but things have gone wrong. This issue is over for me, I would be happy if everyone is willing to close this.
