About three weeks ago, I was looking for a tool to remove valves from a Flathead engine. I Figured I’d buy one used so I could save a few bucks and maybe help someone out who no longer needed theirs. Win win for all. I got a response from somebody on this site, and you know who you are. you set the price. I agreed, and sent you payment. We agreed, The tool would be shipped after the check cleared. I have emailed him asking if he received the check numerous times and he continued to tell me that he did not receive it. I finally checked with the bank and the check was cleared over a week and a half ago. The response from the seller is that it has not arrived and maybe I should send an alternate payment. I was hoping there was a misunderstanding and the tool would be mailed out. I know that I’ve been scammed. Shame on me for trusting you. I’ve sold parts and shipped them all over the world and have never been taken advantage of. And I have never taken advantage of anyone on the other end. It's called mutual trust. Most car guys are good guys. You are the first. if taking the $50 means that much to you, you will get your karma.If I had bought the tool new, I would already be done with what I needed to do in my engine would be at the Rebuilders shop.
