what happened to tampaboy813?  i see he is no longer a registered user. 

and i still haven't received a reply from him after he posted here.

i sent paul a pm 5/9 after he posted, about using paypal, and he hasn't read my pm yet.  he said he could pay today with paypal, which never happened after i tried to contact him.  yet another lie...

paul, where are you?  if you still want to use paypal, then lets do it and get this over with.

i sent you a pm, if we can get this taken care of now then great.

i don't need any parts off your bike other than the ones i requested, at least i was willing to trade.

and the cylinder could be used, but its hardly in the "new in box" condition that it was advertised as.  for $60 more you can buy a new one, it costs more than that to have it replated.

yes, you were a nice guy to refund me, but YOU offered.  i looked at my money order receipt and its been since 10/7/04.  

i'm not attacking him personally or anything, and i think my representation of whats happened is fair.  i'd just like to get a clear answer from him.

i hate doing things like this, but i haven't got anywhere emailing him, so here goes.

about 1 year ago, i bought a yz426 cylinder off tampaboy813, or Paul Corbin, off of thumpertalk.com.  the cylinder was advertised as "new in the box".  i sent a money order for $135 and everything was fine.  when i got the cylinder, i checked it and it was obviously used, not new.  that wouldn't have been a problem for me, except that the plating had some heavy scoring and was starting to flake in some spots.  so i emailed him back and said how he should've told me about it being used.  he in return, offered to refund my money if i returned it, which i agreed.  i sent it back and waited for my refund, 1,2, then 3 months and nothing.  so i emailed him and asked what the deal was, and he said he was having financial problems, and that he'd send out the money when things were under control.  so, i said, ok, just email me when you're ready.  but no email came after another 3 months, so...

i finally found him on this forum after thumpertalk changed their database, but all i get is a run around everytime i ask him.  i think i've been more than understanding and patient, how hard is it to set aside $20 from your paycheck a week to save up?  i mean, come on Paul.  

so to anyone who's thinking of buying or selling something to tampaboy813, beware.  please don't lock this thread, i'm not trying to slander, i just want my money back.
