	Never thought I'd have to do this, but here I am. I bought a fuel cell off Kristian (fireflyspeedshop) on here at the end of Feb (29th). He said he'd get it over to me asap. So a few days go by, nothing is heard from him. PM'd on here, I get one back. "going in the post with a bunch of other stuff first thing in the morning". Ok. Still nothing, that was a good week ago. I now cannot get hold of him. I've pm'd him, texted him and called him. He hasn't answered texts or pms, and when i try and ring his phone is either off, or it rings out. His last login was on the 8th March, so I know for a fact he's at least seen my messages. I will keep trying, however I would STRONGLY recommend anyone thinking of dealing with this guy to steer well clear. If he has a genuine reason for not posting, fine, doesn't take much to tell me. Unfortunately I sent him payment as a gift, out of good grace, and he's clearly taken that opportunity to shaft me of my hard earned cash. If anyone can suggest a way of getting my money back, I will gladly welcome it! Also, sorry if this is the wrong section to post it in, was the most logical place I could see. Once more, AVOID USERNAME "FIREFLYSPEEDSHOP" Jon

	sorry to hear that jon - I was trying to contact him about the k10 engine and box he had for sale I suppose there could well be a legit reason for the lack of contact, but a part of me is also noting the geographical distance between his location and the liverpool based 'pinkbike' - kfw
	Almost on the road: b11 sunny breadvan, e36 tds, 325i skidcar, nearly there: ford f250 tathauler, suzuki alto, u11 bluey not for a while: ford pop, 32 rails, not in this lifetime: ruby, '29 hillman ''unfortanatly I'm quite old and scruffy and in need of some loving. my drive shaft needs a new boot....''

	Whilst I feel for you if you've been ripped off, there really isn't anything to say that the seller isn't just unreliable, ill, dealing with real-lif issues or offline. Looking into it, it seems unlikely that this guy is out to scam people, if you're going to doing that you don't set up a website for your business in the same name. I'll lock this thread and the original sales thread and add a stating the issues you've had. The domain (www.fireflyspeedshop.co.uk) was registered by the same company that created the site, it might be worth contacting them and seeing if they know him personally.
