one word, "jackass". i bought a 996 ducati off him and i drove from pa. to mi. and it was a peice of **** . but because im an ebayer i payed him and took the bike with an agreement he would send me about 700.00 in extra parts never seen or heard a thing after that day .

The item he shipped was not as described or advertised. I emailed him once, and got no response, emailed him twice:
05-02-05
"Dear findindeals12345,

*2nd email*

Hi, I just received the item, thanks for the quick S&H. However upon receiving the item, I noticed that the gauge is not as described. The bid describes it, as "here is a new never used but hooked up Autometer Fuel pressure Gauge". The gauge I received seems like it was dragged through concrete, something that cannot be seen on the pictures. What can we do about this issue? Thanks"

His response (05-04-05):

Hmmm, I thought he said he had a second one at home?!?!? Ok I a, a fair person, I will give him the benefit of the doubt...

Chris?
And that was the last time I heard from him, I kept emailing him and no luck. Now you might think he had an accident, was out of town, etc; however he was still conducting bussines on ebay.

I filed a complain with ebay, and even to them, he wouldn't answer their emails!
