Hmmmm, ya might start by not calling him a ****** on a public forum 
Then you might wanna contact him and see if he happened to forget to include the cash. I have put things together in the past and sealed them up only to forget a thing or two.....

Dude you might think this slang is cool,but it really is disrespectful and wont help you with dealings on this board,remember money is money and folks are folks and what you just said makes you look like a JACKASS
That's cool. I'm the person he's talking about. I realize sending cash in the mail is not a good idea...but I sent it from a business location (my work) inside a note, inside a SEALED UPS Express envelope, inside a SEALED and TAPED UPS Express box.
Come home from work today to find a PM as follows
I have no reason to screw him over. $50 is a hell of a deal for a TA cover, we all know that. Why wouldn't I pay it? And not only that, why would I bother to take the time to write all that up and send him no cash with it? Would I really expect somebody to ship something to me without payment after receiving a note in the mail from me like that? I think not..
Kind of sucks that I'm out $50 without any parts. I guess that's what I get for sending cash in the mail though *sigh*

ARE YOU F-EN serious. WTF, you send me a UPS box with a UPS envolope inside it with a note here is the $50 for the cover and your address. Well thats nice but there was no money in it. I could of sold that thing to 3 or 4 other people but you got dibs on it so I waited and this is the crap you pull. F-off.

Just from seeing both guys responses here I wouldnt be surprised if the guy sold the TA cover not knowing there was payment coming from this guy.... Now his 50 bucks shows up so the guy pockets it and tries to make the other guy look like ****..... Even if Im wrong something is fishy

It would have been nice to keep this to PMs before posting on here. I mean, the PM was sent to me at 5:36PM today (time that this site tells me it was sent at, whether that is my time or his), and this post was put up at 5:52PM. I was helping a friend with his car in that time and had no chance to view my PM or reply within those 16 minutes.
Honestly, why would you ask "WTF do I do". Normally, a person who receives something like that would PM the person and give them a chance to explain themselves or something. There really isn't anything you CAN do at this point. I mean even if I didn't send the money, I wouldn't have technically screwed you over at all for you to do anything about.
On a side note...why/when did you sell the car John? It was incredible watching that thing run at our thirdgen.org track rental.

I asked him if he could take pictures of the box and envelope that he received so that I could view it to see what I thought could have happened, but he replied saying he doesn't have a digital camera he can use. I realize even this wouldn't prove anything, I was just curious for myself.
I know I only have 3 posts on these boards, but really the only reason I joined this site was to buy/sell stuff. I got all of the information I needed off the site from reading, not posting. I'm a regular over on www.thirdgen.org and post on the MFBA's forums from time to time. I've bought/sold many MANY things over the years and never once have been accused of trying to con someone (especially in a case like this, where even if I did send an empty envelope, he still wouldn't be out anything...he could still easily sell that cover for $50 to ANYBODY for that price).

Well, i thought i would throw my hat into the ring. I am new here, but am a close friend of duronclocker.
We work together, i stood there(while we were supposed to be doing inventory) and watched him pack this like no other. I mean, there is no way someone could of known there was any money in there. He has dealt with many, MANY, parts sales and had no troubles on multiple boards. I know people will say my opinion is biased, but i watched him pack it, i know it went, so unless something happened along the way, i smell a scam.
Someone without guilt would of simply asked if a mistake had been made, instead of putting a post to assume duron of accusing him. This post was an attempt to divert guilt, at least that is my opinion.

Mustang Hat'r 2 ,
i believe loses as well, for he is positive that there was no money in the envelope inside the box
and
is probably pissed because he already had it sold and quite possibly is trying to raise some honest money by selling some pieces from his MACHINE.
whereas
DuronClocker said
"I asked him if he could take pictures of the box and envelope that he received so that I could view it to see what I thought could have happened"
to me, this shows doubt and if DuronClocker buys as many parts as he says he does the chances of him mixing up payments and purchases increases greatl especially if he was tired after a long day of helping a friend with his car.
my thoughts
but who the f*$@ am i?

Um, he did this from work, not after working on a car. I think he wanted pictures to see if it had been opened or altered from when he sent it.
I mean, duronclocker is in the middle of a 10 second car build, dropping some decent money, trying to get a 50 dollar part for free seems ludicrous.
But hey, who am i, no one cept for the guy that watched him send the money.
