I can't believe it...
 

Hi all,
I don't mean to do this but I must warn people. I got ripped off in the marketplace badly. I sent a 1.20 OS Fourstroke to rc_nutts in Texas in trade for a Futaba 8UAF and he never sent the radio and I can't contact him. My grandfather and I are blue collar hard workers and can't buy this stuff on wimsy. I tried to call, email and people search and nothing. This engine my grandfather and I saved for months to get and now it's gone. Don't let this happen to you. Also, this same person (I think because it's the same picture) posted the radio on ebay under a new account, and a yahoo mail account and two people questioned him about it. This I know because he said he wondered why other people were asking him the same question.

Don't let this happen to you.

Josh

Josh,
I'm sorry you had this happen to you. rc_nutts has been suspended from the Marketplace.

Boy you really punished him!! rc_nutts is back on the RC Universe with another name and still ripping off people.

Way to solve the problem!

If you can send me his name in a PM, I will look in to it and take whatever action is needed.

Everyone should always use the feedback system here and rate those they trade with and read ratings before trading. If ever in doubt you should either use escrow services or pass on the deal. Better to pass then get left holding the bag. If users do not trade fair we will suspend them.

I TRADED WITH A GUY NAMED TOM BERENS AND GOT REALLY RIPPED OFF
he sent me a savage for my tmaxx
said chassis were titanium and motor was in good shape
the motor he got was just COMPLETELY rebuilt by horizon hobies (mach 26)
the one i got was a 24-7 that had metal shavings in crank case and scratches on piston
plus allum. chassis i gave him a 400.00 truck and i got 200.00 truck maybe.
he doesnt answer emails any more and refused to trade back
i send all the emails we had together to him about twice a week just to get under his skin
i cant drive to his house and threaten him so i figured this was enough
what do i do???

Mark,
That is not always possible.
I purchase a spinner and while I did eventually get it, it took a lot of time and energy. How do you send a rating if the seller doesn't list you as the buyer?

RE: I can't believe it...
 

If this happens, and you made an offer through the Make Offer tool (not the Ask Seller a Question too), send me a PM with the ad number. I will verify you made an offer on the item and can update the ad to reflect that you are the buye. Once that is in place, you can leave appropriate feedback.
