Anybody here ever deal with Paul Eddie, in Modesto, CA? DON'T... 200

I just thought I'd take a minute to spread the word, since I never did it here. About 6 months ago I was looking for a set of blue floor trays for my 245, and posted a message on the turbobricks board. I got an email from Paul Eddie, aka Volvula, in Modesto, California. He offered what he said was a very nice set for $48 shipped. I mailed out a money order the next day.

3 weeks later, when they hadn't arrived, I emailed him 3 times. He finally replied that he'd forgotten to put them on his to do list, and asked if he could include anything extra to make up for it, and I told him not to worry, it was fine.

After another 2 weeks, I tried emailing again, and got no replies. I finally posted to the turbobricks board, and got slammed by the membership there. Some said I hadn't waited long enough, the rest thought since it was just $48, that I should just shut up and take the loss. Paul himself emailed and told me that since I'd tried to be a badass, I'd be receiving nothing.

During the same time, he'd ripped some kid off for the price of a set of Virgos. I'd tried to sell him a set I had that needed a little work, but he wanted perfect, and then waited for a mmonth for nothing. When he complained on the board, he got his wheels, but one of them was too bent to use.

Tonight I finally bought another set of the mats, after 6 months of nothing. When I sell something, I take pride in knowing that it arrives in a reasonable time, and that it's at least as nice as I advertised. Some people don't have such values.
