Be Aware!

Two weeks ago I went to pick up up a car from a FABO member (GTXperience) in Northern California. After seeing the car on the site & talking to him several times I figured the car was worthwhile so I sent him five hundred $s of the twelve hundred dollars he wanted for the car. After travelling from Az. to his location (at considerable expense) I inspected the car closely & found it wasn't what I was looking for in terms of condition. I told him so & said I'd pass on the car & that I realized he didn't have to return my deposit/downpayment but I hoped he realized what occurred & would be fair about it. He replied that he'd "think about it", that it didn't really matter as he had other people that'd buy it and it really wasn't his car anyway:angry6:. Now he didn't seem angry or upset through this whole ordeal and I figured he was a reasonable guy that would do the fair thing and at least return some of my money ( which I told him I thought was fair, too) and that I'd hear from him after Spring Fling.
Well, after several E-mails I haven't even received so much as an acknowledgemnt from him! Just goes to show not everyone here is as fair or upstanding as they appear.
