The short version..
I made Ellmers95 an offer on the Exel wheels he has advertised in the classifieds.
12/5/05 - I send him a bank Money Order.
12/5 - 12/7 - I get 6 emails from him in a two day span talking about his car, my car, and did I mail the check out yet
12/12 - I write to Anthony "did you get the check yet?"
12/13/05 - Anthony writes yes he did, sorry Yahoo account is screwed up (he's mailing me from AIM account) and promising to send the wheels "in the next day or two"
12/17/05 - after hearing nothing, I write "hey, what's happening" email
12/19/05 - still heard nothing, I write a "i'm getting aggravated" email
12/20/05 - Anthony sends me a "so very sorry, illness in the family, out of town" email, says he'll be back in town thursday and will send the wheels ASAP.
12/21/05 - I reply, requesting both his phone number and that he call me at the phone number that has been at the bottom of every one of my emails to him.
12/24/05 - still nothing from Anthony, I write "I'm done with this, send me my money back now" email
as of 1:00pm 12/27/05 - still nothing from Anthony.
At this point I am in contact with my bank to trace the Money Order and to pursue my legal options.
I am also in the process of compiling all the emails and I will post the entire chronology as a reply to this thread.
In the meantime, I would strongly recommend against anyone making this guy an offer on his wheels! At this point he looks like another candidate for the Charlie Wenzel award to me.

Sorry to hear about the bad luck. Hopefully he comes through and either sends you the wheels, or refunds your money. I'm thinking he's the guy that sold his Contour? Anywho, good luck, and thanks for the headsup!

Maybe he's using the same type of connection that PowdercoatMan was using, where he could AIM but his internet connection was down so he couldn't email.

UPDATE: I just received an email from Anthony, apologizing for the situation and offering to send either my money or the wheels/tires to me tomorrow. Hopefully this whole thing gets resolved soon.
