I'm still ready to buy these. Get me a physical address and kindly keep the insults via PM to yourself.


I really appreciate you backing out and not having the ***** to tell me!
BTW, just to set the record straight, here's the only PM I've received from him other than him giving me a Post Office Box as an address. Please let him continue to lie. I've given him my physical address and phone number if he truly wants to pursue this. So once again I ask you here, do you have a physical address or do you live in your post office box?

Oh and you couldnt tell me before? I would have gladly given it to you, I really dont see why you think I would scam you over something so small and ruin my reputation, look at my feedback.

And no I will not sit around and wait for another money order you say you send, sorry boss..

PS: the "internet tough guy" is played out, so dont bother.

Thanks for you interest but Im not selling them. Have a good one!

I'm a bad buyer but you decided not to sell them. OK.... I'm not an internet tough guy. I'll gladly meet you face to face to discuss this. I gave you my physical address to prove I'm willing to personally discuss this with you. If you want to sell them, and it's obvious that no one else wants them as they're illegal as marijuana, I'll buy them. Send them COD to Ace Hardware #1566, 300 Hwy 64, Manteo, NC, 27954 for the 218 shipped we agreed upon. I want them for my race car so being illegal for the street doesn't bother me.

Any new info on this? Any resolution?

Not a big fan of complaining about a deal that never took place, and then no updates.

I sent him a money order for it today and just PM'd him with the serial number of the money order and the USPS delivery confirmation number as I sent it Priority Mail Delivery Receipt Confirmation requested. I gave the seller the website to track the letter containing the money order and a phone number 1-800-222-1811 that hopefully should also aid him in tracking the letter while in transit. All of this info came from the Delivery confirmation receipt that I received from the Postmaster today. I would have sent it yesterday but Columbus Day closed down everything preventing this from happening. I answered the PM he sent me at 9:53 PM asking for an update as soon as I got home from work and eating dinner. I'm hoping the seller will come on here when he gets the money and state as such. Thanks for checking up on this cyphur_traq.
