Going to crack this open for a couple of minutes...
I'm going to leave this thread closed, as it just became bickering, and this is the first I've seen it today.
So, we always recommend that people contact each other for sales through the forum PM system, because you can be sure that no one outside of ApexSpeed is trying to sell you something that doesn't exist—or at least we do our best to keep the scammers out. If someone contacts you through PMs, by looking at their profile, you should know who they are, how long they have been here, where they live, and at least have a general idea of their rep.
For years we have also told people to NOT include their phone numbers or email addresses in WANTED or FOR SALE posts to protect against outside scammers.
This is a perfect reason to avoid doing deals—or at least initial contact—off of ApexSpeed. Seems to me like we had a complete breakdown of communication here on both sides. I completely understand the distrust of a seller of items off of the forums without full names or backgrounds. Assuming someone should know who you are, or assuming that someone is immediately trying to pull a fast one got everyone nowhere here.
Good lessons to be learned by everyone. I hope this helps others trying to buy and sell here on ApexSpeed.
