Default Did not get scammed on here !

Thanks to P1kid for promptly sending me the body clip that I ordered from the for sale section on the SN members market place.

This was a completely different experience from when I tried to buy the same part from from an authorised trader in the SN market place.
Firstly they sent me the wrong part. Being a good (ie naive) chap, I posted the parts back with a tenner in cash for their bother and requested the correct part be sent. You know - the "buy yourself a beer" type of thing.
Nothing happened, I guess they took advantage of the lack of recorded delivery and cash aspect.
I subsequently sent an email requesting the part again and the email was ignored. Quelle surprise
I am not bothered about the money, it was worth it for the amusement of seeing how low some people are prepared to stoop to come by 20 quid.

Please inform the general forum members who the dealer is so that everyone can avoid buying from them in future

Perhaps we should give them a chance to reply without being prompted?
