User etiquette

Just about everyone on this board has been so helpful to me and literally saved me thousands of dollars.

Recently there was a member in need of a pair of 124 headlights.. I had some since I added euros to the CE.

I decided to offer them to him for 20 dollars plus shipping. He gave the 20, but has not contacted me in more than two weeks regarding the shipping fees.

At what point do I espose him? Or do I. It took me more than 20 dollars worth of my time to pack them and take them to the shipping place.

Generally, I am not like this...but

Consider it lost. Sucks that you could be so nice and people can't even have the courtesy to show it back.

He was clear that he also owed you for the shipping beyond the $20? I'm assuming that you have tried contacting him to get the difference.

it's funny.... i was in the process of relocating to Orlando near his neck of the woods...and even offered to bring them to Orlando..

he said just ship them... I knew shipping would be somewhat high.. it was almost 22 dollars.

i have tried to contact him several times. he has been on here looking for some front end parts for an 89 300e that his son wrecked.

Been there with a son...so I just wanted to help....

to tell you the truth i had been holding on to them, just in case he had a fender bender or something... but since i will be moving soon permanently... i am trying to get rid of stuff.

oh well
