Hey guys, I recently got burned on an e-bay deal for a nitrous kit. You can find the link to the item page below. If anyone lives near Alliance, Nebraska; I would be willing to pay whoever goes over to the individual's house whom I sent the Money Order to, and gets my damn ZEX dry kit from him.

Sellers Address:
STEVEN STEINMAN
alliance, NE 69301 United States

item page:
Zex dry kit (w/ Purge and Rapid Fire)

I sent the payment september 20th, so I assume he probably cashed it already. I'll try and call the Post Office about it tomorrow. I filed a complaint with ebay, but unless its $500 or more, I can only get 75 bux; lame.

He's no longer a registered user either............

 

[openthewell]

Everyone starts somewhere; when I first got my ebay account, I got it for selling, people bought items from me with no feedback; why should I assume I am going to get ripped off? In a functioning economy there has to be a certain amount of trust involved.

Yeah but no paypal either... Trust should only be taken so far.

Try calling the police in his area to see what, if anything, they can do for you.

Alliance Police Department - [308] 762-4955 - 512 Niobrara Ave, Alliance, NE
Box Butte County Sheriff - [308] 762-6464 - 512 Niobrara Ave, Alliance, NE

Good luck man!

 

[receiver09]

yeah im sorry, maybe in LA the cops would do something about it, but if you knew much about nebraska...you'd know you'd have to do something pretty badass to get cops to do something.

 

[openthewell]

I learned my lesson for sure, but I'm still going to take chances; because thats who I am. I'm just upset, because I was REALLY excited about the kit. haha. Thanks everyone your help and support. Reciever09, I might talk to you in the near future. Thanks.

Tell the Nebraska cops you emailed him and told him you were going to report him for theft, and he emailed you back that he would shoot you and any pansy-ass Nebraska pig that showed up at his door Sit back and watch the sparks fly.

 

[receiver09]

lmao, thats great stuff. then once all the smoke settles i'll just walk into his house and pick up MY new nitrous kit. :3_shiny: but yeah openthewell, get a hold of me sometime, pm me or something.

 

[kaotik_tib]

sorry to read about it. i would do u the favor if i was somewhere close cuz thats BS!

 

[mattrussell_]

...goes to this guys house...kicks his ass and takes the ZEX kit from him....drives home...installs Zex kit...Posts on new tib that i got my ass kicked and didnt get the zex kit.....posts 13s time slip

 

[GET 1T DONE]

Sometimes it's just worth paying a little extra to:
A) Get from a reputable company/seller
B) Purchase from someone nearby so a physical confrontation is possible rather than having to deal w/a disappearing act like this.

 

[receiver09]

yeah if this all goes down im going to be a little be weary of walking up to the front door saying hello do you have a zex kit and then getting my @ss blown away by a 12 gauge.
