getting ripped off for $130 from one of your peers, IMHO, is not life happening.
what other recourse is there than to reach out to the rest of the community when a wrong in done? i don't think it inappropriate to ask for others to talk to their friends to right that wrong.
if that's "throwing someone under a bus," then so be it.

I'm not saying you shouldn't feel upset or want the stuff you paid for. What I am saying is there may be extenuating circumstances and your approach is filled with more vinegar than honey.
We are a small community. People here remember things. They won't remember someone looking for someone on here in a friendly manner. They will remember someone on here insinuating that some person is a scammer or crook and will think twice before dealing with said person. Think about how this affects that person later on. If there truly were circumstances, like, um say natural disaster, hurricane, flood, etc, then the slight delay in receiving the parts and lack of communication could be understood. Why make that person out to be a crook before you get the facts? That's all I'm saying.
Remember that television commercial that is being aired right now. Something about the internet, and that once you put something out there, it can't be undone or taken back, and is seen by many.
Right now many may think viperns is a crook.
(btw, I'm not really upset with you or slamming you, just trying to get you to look at this from a different point of view).
Cheers.

I know this is an old post, but this has been my first chance to respond to it in 16 months. Those extenuating circumstances. Long story short be careful what you buy on craigslist and the old adage of its too good to be true than it probably isn't is right on target.
Sorry for anybody that was left hanging, but things didn't go how i was expecting them too. I'm sorry for any hassle or trouble it caused. If i had a deal with you please contact me so we can get it fixed. It mightnot be right away, i have alot of things to get in order but i'd like to start fixing things. I still have all my parts so please let me know.
