This little fucker scammed me out of 150$. I bought Marker Barons from him, we agreed on 150$ and the money was sent almost 3 weeks ago. At first he replied that he will ship it asap. Now he logs on NS but do not answer. I'm trying to solve it through paypal, however I want to let you know about this piece of shit.

can you see that he has not read the messages? I dont know why he hasnt, but give it some time dude. 3 weeks isnt very long especially for the summer. Lots of people just lose track of shit cause skiing isnt on their mind constantly.

either way good luck

He did not read but he was logged. So he just didn't click Read the message, but he saw it for sure.... He was logged twice since 6th of August.

If he logged in on a mobile, it wouldn't show a read message if he read it.

Doesn't change the fact the guy hasn't got in touch when he has your money.

I feel your pain.

this. if you end up receiving you can always resend the money, but if you give him another week your money is gone with no chance of getting it back

Everywhere.

Don't think just cuz they are skiiers and have good feedback that they won't scam you.

Waaaaaaay too many scammers. Almost not worth it.

wow, i can understand your frustration, however to anyone that commented/ read the thread i am not a "scammer" i was on a firefighting crew i signed up for here in oregon and had been working for weeks away from my house i did however have my phone and was able to get some service and to tell wincent that i was on a firefighting crew and would take a little to ship. i did tell him at one point that i was gonna ship them the next day or whatever but i had to leave at 5 in the morning since i was on call for firefighting... some one else had to ship the bindings for me since i was away i provided him with tracking in the paypal claim. sorry for the frustration to the buyer, i love the newschooler community and for what its worth, i am not firefighting anymore this summer and i actually am selling some skis soon. so just to let everyone know and clear things up thanks!

Please cut the crap. It takes how long, 30 minutes to send a package like that ? You was fighting fires 24/7 all day long, no day off ? You don't have brother/sister/mother/father/friend/grandfather/grandmother who could send it for you ? This is simply bull shit and you know it.
Finally I received the bindings, almost 2 months after a payment was made.... I don't recommend doing any business with this person - and this is not only my opinion - other guy had exactly the same problems with him.
Special thanks to spiderman13 and Yeezy$. They helped me solve this situation. Thanks guys!
