Someone had asked me about him last month. I don't know the guy and there are very few 911/914 guys around here.
I found this on AA: On AA And this complaint on Scambook on eBay: Complaint On eBay and this on 914world: On 914world |

I alerted a buyer on the Bird site....he responded that he's still waiting for his paid item.
What a way to start / market to a small community of Porsche owners |

I certainly can't advise you what to do, but if it was me,
I would call the Easton Police and seek their guidance. They may tell you six weeks to fulfill a sale is not unreasonable (particularly during the holidays). If they say you have a legitimate issue they can recommend a course of action which may or may not include- Filing a formal complaint with the police. Taking him to small claims court. It wouldn't even be about the 500$ anymore, it would be about demanding justice be done and sending a message that unethical behavior has consequence's. I don't believe for one minute one action would modify his behavior but taking "no" action certainly reinforces that behavior. Reporting his business to the BBB Posting the facts on the boards as you have done. Just the facts and timeline. people can then draw their own conclusions. The Police may advise you to refrain from posting his real name or address, unless he uses his real name as his business name. File a complaint with the FBI internet fraud. Contact a lawyer and seek advice. Many lawyers gladly offer free advice. |

wndsnd,
If you need a 1.7 injected motor, I can LOAN you a spare one until you are done with it. You would need to bring a truck and spend about 30 minutes getting it out of hiding...but it ran when I pulled it out a few months ago. Rich |

Rich Thanks Rich, But as you know, It is the middle of winter here! My car is at paint, and when it came back I wanted to start assembly and sort it out. But, I haven't been rushing the paint guys because of the holidays as well. Thanks for the offer. I do appreciate it. John |

The easiest way out of this would be to drive down and get it.
Sorry to say, but it may be better if you go sooner rather than later. Bring a large friend. rich |
