    ok, so here's the deal. i just recently sold my nitro remote control car to someone over the internet. I sold it for $180, the deal was money order on delivery (Cash On Delivery) but apprently no one does C.O.Ds anymore but I sent it out anyways (stupid me). So after i sent it i sent the guy an e-mail explaining the situtation, he agreed to send me the money order the next day..I even called him up on the phone making sure he knew what was going on. So today he receives the car and he claims that the motor gear and clutch are **bleep**ed up and a bunch of other stuff is messed up with it. and now he says he won't send me my money order until he receives parts for it to run fine? what kind of bull**bleep** is that?


    so what do you think i should do? i'm worried about him **bleep**ing up the whole car and then sending it back..i'm think about calling up his local police to see if they can somehow recover it? anyone live near Grove City, MN? thanks in advance for any help.

    Try calling the cops I suppose, but I'd imagine you'll only end up in court to settle it. And thetieger is right, the number one rule of online selling is never send the item without getting payment.

    Yeah, I found the number to Grove City's local police. I just want the cops to just make this kid crap his pants or something, show him I'm not playing around or at least get the attention on his parents and let them know what's going on.

    Yea CODs aren't too popular with anything but business mail these days. Maybe it's because the world is a more dangerous place?

    If it was really COD, then the person delivering the package should have collected the cash/money order from the person signing and receiving the package. It seems you sent the item without COD.

    yeh I did that once at first the guy was acting like he was not going to pay me I was --- this close to getting on a plane(I dont like being cheated it angers me greatley) but he did payhes actually a pretty nice guy

    unlike this guy looks like you dont have a great deal of options outher than maybe small claims cort if its some kid you can try talking to his parents I wont be doing that again any time soon
