Default did i almost get scammed?

well i was selling my TBR slip-on exhaust on here for $200 +$35 shipping. i had a couple people ask me about it. but one sent payment. (thesilverbullet) well anyway it took me a couple days to get it out cause of work occuping my time during the post office hrs. and i wanted to wait till the check clears (couple days for a personal check) so on my day off (the 30th) i overnighted it just cause i felt bad for waiting those couple days(4-5) well the day it was going to be delivered (1st) i looked in my bank and the guy stopped payment on the check. (the day it was to be recieved. so now im out $70 in overnight shipping costs, and the guy hasnt responded to my pm's what do you think?

Almost get scammed... i think you did get scammed... but lucky for you he sent a personal check so it should have all his info on it. If i were you i would contact your local P.D. and then contact his local P.D. and let them know what happened... they will be on his door step in a day or 2. Believe me...

Oh well, at least you caught it. I'd rather be out $70 than be out $250.

In my defense here, let me say that I hate scammers and there was/is no scam going on, at all, period.

I accidentally went overdraft with the check when some heavy bills came in and the bank showed it as run through but didn't cover it. So, I'm getting W.O.P. a money order this time and we're good. I'm also picking up the UPS charge since I screwed up.

I didn't respond to the PM's 'cause I was traveling for the Fourth of July. Anyway, a lot of you know me here ... just wanted to tell what happened on my end.

It's also nice to see people being mature about it and not name calling. Good for you for working it out.

It's also good that he admitted that he screwed up and is picking up the overnight tab.
