buyer beware of NICKSCELI, ripped me off Options

[nospmohtkcin]

This is a buyer beware if you are buying anything from nicksceli on this site. owes me $465
THE DEAL
here's the story. He had 4 16" rims from a 2000+ gts celica forsale and i agreed to buy them from him for $315 plus $100 for shipping. I sent him a money order for $315 then $100 the next day. I had a tracking number for each money order incase they got lost in the mail and wouldn't you know the $100 money order got lost. after talking to the post office and not knowing when they would find the money order i decieded to send another $100 and told nick to send a $100 money order back with the rims. He then received both $100 money orders on the same day (approx 2-3weeks after he received the $315 money order) and said he would ship the rims right away.
AFTER HE GOT MY MONEY
He told me that shipping was going to cost over $200 to ship the rims and he couldn't do it for the price we agreed so said he would refund my money. but the big problem is that he spent the money and had none to pay me back with. after 3 MONTHS of being VERY patient with him to this date i have only received $50 out of $515. I told him that he has until the 17th to get the rest or i will charge him with mail fraud but has since stopped any contact with me(wont email me or pick up his phone)
THE PROOF
I have lot's of proof that this happened and here's a list. Money order receits made out to him, tracking mailing service numbers to prove that he recieved the money orders, money order tracking to prove he was the one to cash them. I have a receit of him paying $50, i have 26 emails concerning our deal(alot of them even have reply's that went on for awhile before starting a new email), and 5 private messages concerning our deal
THE POINT
unless he happpens to get my money by the 17th (ALL $465 OF IT) i would not trust this person if you plan on buying anything from nicksceli

I have sent him 160$ March 17th for a bumper. Still havent received the bumper. He says that UPS would not take it because the package is too big. We will see what happens Im not too far from Pennsylvania

[Supersprynt]

Tell him to do it FedEx, they'll definately take it.

I sent him a money order for $160 for the Z3 fenders. he didn't tell me he got the money, kept telling me that they would be sent out monday, then it was thursday or friday, then back to monday. I then went a couple days w/o replys from him. after 2 weeks he emailed me and told me that the fenders were sent that morning and he gave me a tracking #.

I go tthe fenders, but it took 2 weeks, AFTER he recieved payment, for me to get them.

He said the reason it took so long was because he sent it thru his G/F's work and her boss wouldn't let the package go thru.

Those are some of the worst made up excuses I've heard. Sounds like this guy needs a talkin to.

[bufferdan]

Well, glad to hear you got the fenders. I think he is trying but he seems really busy. I just hope i get what i paid for and hope everyone else does too.

[celimanST]

It is time ofr judge Joe Brown

But on the serious side take his a$$ to court. I hate people like that .

Sorry about you situations fellas but the only person I have baught of is Phat_99CeliGT and he is the man to deal with totally awsome. It is ashame that there are people like that in this world. Karma will catch up with him soon enough.

Peace

[Junior]

f-ck court, you all have his address. Make a road trip and kick his ass. Then take your money out of his car. Parts will sell on this site.

[celimanST]

lets go

people like that should knee-capped.

[nicksceli]

you forgot about the 100 money order that was never cashed and was sent back to you as well as a $150 money order from me that for some odd reason never made it to you. maybe with your money order tracking you should check on that. the reason for selling the rims was i needed money and that is still an issue for me. as for not answering the phone thats because its my cell phone and the previous calls cost a pretty penny. i've told you that i am trying my best to get you your money but not everything works out the way i need it to. you will have you money by the date you said but i will not send money for a money order that was never cashed you can get your money back for those things. you can all say what you want but this crap comes second to keeping a roof over my head and food on the table. and you better edit your post and take my name and location out if you really want me to do anything about this. you can all flame me if you want but i really dont care what a bunch of people on the internet think of me.

[nospmohtkcin]

[nicksceli]

there were two 100 dollar money orders one was cashed.

[98celica3]

$200 to ship wheels? even w' tires on them it only cost's like $80-100 depending on where you ship to. that's not cool.

[SiKBOY]

We definitely need a good/bad - buyer/seller thread

[celimanST]

the shipping on my wheels was only $65 from Cali and i live in Miss this guy must be retarded.

[nospmohtkcin]

the shipping distance was kinda far going from usa to canada and probably over 700miles

[madmods]

I use USPS money orders only, because its a federal felony to defraud anybody with them. Its a 10,000 fine and 5 years in prison for mail fraud. I had the problem with a ebayer that sent me a screwed up motor for my bike. I had to charge him with mail fraud and then I got a quick refund. I hope you guys can work out this problem. I hate to see celi vs celi fights when we all should be a team of info and tech, and new ideals.

[playr158]

eh i did business with nick, i bought a tv from him, he cut me a good deal on it and it did get to me....i mean no excuse for doin somestuff...but i'm just sayin yea he takes a lil bit of time to get it straight but he gets it to you....the dude is strugglin, i mean we all want our stuff and yea our money..but lets not crash on him too hard..but i hope you get your money and everything straight,

Its a Shame, that people put tons of excuses instead of gettin there job done. I dont care how much it costs me, or if I go broke, I get the job done and I do it at the price I quoted. It would be nice to have a Rate a Buyer thing on here, but that is alot of extra work for coomer. I dont know about you guys, But If i ever hear any bad things about one person thats it, I dont even mess around. 200$ for shipping you gotta be kidding me, the Highest Ive ever seen is like 700$ and that was from Japan. When we've ordered some of our body kits ( HUGE BOX'S ) 175 ever at the most. There is even ways you can get around that, mail it to a business and they will useally cut the shipping by 30% percent or more.

DONT TAKE ON A JOB YOU CANT HANDLY.

Its Because people like you that we have Mail fraud services, and the BBB. Just making it harder for your "fellow" men and women todo there job. Pay up the man, and dont ever sell anything on here again.

Just letting everyone know that i did just get the bumper from nick. Everything worked out good and i got exactly what i paid him for.

Dan

[CJOHNST3]

I've dealt with him before without problems - I'm also in PA and I actually know where he lives. I sold him the lip kit he has on his car.

Chances are he's getting bad guidance. I had my rims shipped from CA to PA and it wasn't that expensive - **** put them on a pallet and truck them out for 60 bucks. It's slow - but they will get there.

Cmon Nick be righteous, send them their cash!

[nospmohtkcin]

UPDATE: Nick still owes around $300 and after numerous pm's he won't reply. I even offered him to pay me back half of what he owes me so that he'd only be ripping me off $150 but still no replys. So this goes out to other people who are thinking of buying anything from NICKSCELI he ripped me off and he could easly rip you off too

[Manta5x]

thanks for the heads up

[bufferdan]

[jojobombiest]

You have the proof, take it to your lawyer.

[drnovascotia]

take a $300 charge to a lawyer who's going to charge you twice that to take the case?



Dr.

[shid]

Uhm, you also charge NICKSCELI with legal fees. Derrr

[yellowxboy]

or u can just kick him in the face..

[Andason]

[nospmohtkcin]

thanks for the support guys.

[trackstar1506]

Okay this makes me not want to deal with anyone online...

[nicksceli]

hey homie listen closely. i don't owe you $300 but you will get the money i do owe you when i have it. as for not replying i dont have time to sit and deal with this crap all day. another thing i warned you not to put my name or where i live up on here and i told you what would happen if you did. oh and cjohnst3 i have never dealt with you before so i dont know what you are talking about. and to all you others saying pay me a visit i would seriously reconsider that idea because if someone knocks on my door to start **** they will not be happy with the results. now i have dealt with plenty of other people on here and everything has gone smoothly so one person with a bug up their ass doesnt really bother me. anyone can say what ever they want but realize that it doesnt really matter because this is the internet and i certainly won't lose sleep over a bunch of kids talking trash. the reason i come to this site is to learn from others and find info that i need. my car is in no way hooked up because i dont have they money to do it. hell i've been running around with a primered body kit for almost a year now cause i cant afford to paint it beacuse i have other responsibilities and i put them before the car or anyone else. so you all can relax and stay out of this nad he will get his money eventually or everyone can ramble on about something that has nothing to do with them and maybe he wont get it. oh well no sweat off my back.
peace

[shid]

Has he been added to the bad seller list yet? I think the last post is enough evidence.

[LatinKraze]

What I dont get is every bad seller that replies that they dont care what other people think and that it's only the internet, then why bother posting an explanation? If you dont really care then take it up with Nos himself and dont bother posting for us to see and PM the guy. If your not going to put the buyer before your own duties than dont sell anything at all. Put yourself in his shoes dude.

PS. Dont bother replying to this

[Hamster666]

yo, guys, I dont know if it's a good idea to visit him, but surely it's a great idea to visit his car, it looks like a beautiful car which you can do alot of "mod" on... just a thought.

[nicksceli]

hey hamster think before you speak next time. last person that touched my car got more than they bargained for. im not here to talk sh!t to who ever adds their two cents but you would think that people who are into cars would know that you never mess with a mans car. like i said before i have sold things to quite a few other people on here and this is the only time it has gotten messed up. this issue will be resolved between me and him so all you tough little kids who want to run their mouths are just wasting their time trying to look cool on the internet.
with that said nos you got a pm.
peace flamers im out.

[Hamster666]

funny guy, like I care, try to scare me? too bad, I am from NYC, and that's what I did to the last guy who ****ed me, if I can, I will show you a pic of that 300Zx, if I can still see that in the junk yard. Urs is a celi right? dont cost that much...
