hellfirechrome alert

I have been a member here 10+ years and have bought and sold without issue the whole time. I even bought a '74 Scamp with PayPal just to get a good shot at it (still have it). I will buy as "friend /family" after talking to the seller although I have never requested that. Early last spring hellfirechrome had a FTI,MSD Dist and fuel pump for sale. I asked and received his # and called, we agreed on a price after he requested "friends/family" seemed pretty straight ahead guy so I paid him and waited as he had to remove from car it was in. After a couple months or so the FTI injection and Dist showed up but no pump. When I called he said the pump smelled like gas so they would not ship but he would clean it up and resend. In the mean time wife has developed cancer and we have been dealing with that since early May. I did finally get a response from from him and he was "surprised" I had not gotten the pump and would look into it. This was 3/4 weeks ago and now not even reading my messages. I held off saying anything here as I expect people to be honest in their dealings with all of us a "family" of addicted car loons but maybe not. I am sure no pump will be forthcoming but would just let the members know about this individual. He had a 100% rating so I felt ok but maybe others just write it off as I will but at least I can let others know.
RANT over!!! Bruce
