Below are the events that transpired when I decided to buy some visors on The Samba;

(I Sent to Scott on the Oct 14,2008)

Scott, I am a very good friend of Jerry Heldt (he restored my 58 K/G cab). I
would like to purchase the Nos Conv. Visors and would like to offer you $800
US. If you accept I will pay you via PayPal asap. What is very important to
me is that they are packaged very very well as I would not like them to be
broken via shipment. I have had many things sent from the US with the vast
majority arriving damaged. Also i am looking very closely at some of your
other items that you are selling from your amazing collection.
Regards, Maurellis

(Scott replies on the Oct. 15 ,2008)

maurellis,
Any friend of Gerry's is a friend of mine.
$800 is currently the high bid (which will close tomorrow at 6pm)
We ship items all over the world daily, so I will let my knowledgeable staff
know that this one is extra special.
Thanks,
Scott

(Scott sends me an email on the Oct. 17, 2008)

Maurellis,
The visors are yours!
Shipping will be $25 to Australia. Total $825
For paypal you can use my email address.
I will personally oversee the packing of these items.
Thank you,
Scott

(I send Scott payment and message on Oct.18,2008)

Scott, have paid for the visors and thank you for supervising the packing .Do we need insurance? Let me know what method of shipment. Jerry speaks highly of you and I have read a lot about you. Hopefully on my next trip to the US I would like to meet you. Thanking you, Maurellis

(Scott sends me email on Oct.23,2008 nearly a week later)

Dear Maurellis ,
I have made a mistake. There was another bid for $900 that I missed and wrongly told you that you were the high bidder on the visors. I will immediately refund your paypal payment if you do not want to bid higher. I am terribly sorry for the mix up. I think I posted too many items (about 30) at once to keep track of it all.
I also made a promise to all that I would inform them if they were outbid. So the timing is lousy and I am sure you are disappointed, but I hope you understand.
Please let me know what you would like to do.
Sincerely,
Scott


Ihave since,asked for my money back and that I will never do business with him again. BUYER BE AWARE!!!

Did you get your money back? If so, yes I think the guy should have honored the sale but if you received your funds be thankful that he is stand up enough to refund your $$$$$.

IMO, he should have made your friend that recommended look good for directing you his way. Then proceed with the bid he stated you won out. I think he received and offer afterwards or late in the game and took the extra hundred. Man, have we become a greedy society (not everyone, just a little more than average as of late)

There is no user ID "Scott D."

Is it perhaps this Scott D. (Scott Dempster)? He's been selling his collection:
