that's the thread where he first contacted me.

me: sounds like a deal. how soon are you ready to sell? and do you happen to have a defouler to sell with it? if not its no big deal. i can buy one for about $15. and just out of curiosity, is it the obx, or some other brand? not that it really matters to me, i've always been a honda guy, i'm kinda new to the mazda world.
yellow pro5: yeah it has obx right on the pipe and i do not have a defouler,,, i dont have paypal but you can send me a money order and i can then send it out,,, i have sold a few things on here like that.,.. i can sell anytime,,,,

me: will you be able to give me a tracking number? not to say i don't trust you specifically, just feel really iffy on sending a stranger $200. no offense.
10/09
yellow pro5:yeah i do tracking number all the time no biggy
me:cool. i'll be sending the money order probably tomorrow.
yellow pro5:if you want you can deposit in my account at 5th 3rd that will get stuff done faster
me:don't have a 5th 3rd bank around here. i'm getting the money order in the morning. had some issues friday and ended up having to stay the night in the hospital.
10/12
yellow pro5ouch thats not cool you could money gram at walmart if you want to be safer or western union it would be ok too or just mail it works too lol,,, are you ok from the hospital
mei wasn't in the hospital for myself. my girlfriend is 7 months pregnant and we were a little concerned about something and they kept her over night for observation. everything is cool though. i actually got another message about ceramic coated set of obx headers for the same price, and no offense, but i would rather have the ceramic.
yellow pro5
h no i already bought another header for my car and boxed yours up
me:well damn... now i feel bad. i'll have to tell the other guy to scratch it. he said it had a small dent in it anyway which kinda made me nervous. i'm going to have to wait till thursday now to do anything though. one of my calipers locked up on me this morning and started smoking, so i need to replace that today. i'll just send the money order through the mail.
yellow pro5:k cool yeah i bought me a turbo manifold and installed it and boxed yours up mine has zero damage to so thursday your sending it to me or hmm where you sending it from again
me:moline, il. right on the mississippi river about 2 1/2 hours west of chicago.
yellow pro5: oh ok if you can try and send it earlier bc wife is telling me to get it out of house lol i wont put it back in garage i will loose it lol,.,,, oh and congrats on the baby coming
me: thank you very much (for the congratulations). the earliest i can send it would be thursday. being that i have to buy a new caliper today i won't have the money till thursday (pay day). sorry. that is the absolute earliest i can take care of it.
yellow pro5: thats cool
me: i do have a question though. are you familiar with any of the pre-made defouler/CEL eliminators? weapon-r makes one, and so does some other company i've never heard of. just curious as to whether they work as well as the ones i've read about so many of the forum members making themselves.
yellow pro5: yes they work i have one but its goin on another p5 we have sorry but yeah it works
me: i was just curious if they worked. i found the blox cel eliminator for like $20 shipped, and the weapon-r for $61 shipped. i imagine the blox would work just fine, but i trust the weapon-r because i've used their products before and they've always been reliable.
10/16
me: money order went out today. when it gets there you can address the header to:
Daniel Carr
*address deleted*
and if you message me with the tracking number that would be terrific!
yellow pro5: ok will do hope it gets here fast lol lol
10/17
me: shouldn't be any later than tuesday, i would think... it may even get there monday. i think i made the deadline for at least getting it out of here today. used to be that if you didn't get to the post office by a certain time it wouldn't go out till the next day. not so sure how the post office works anymore. haven't had to utilize them for quite some time.
10/19
me: get the money order today?
yellow pro5: yes i did and mailing it out tomorrow
me:sounds good. just got confirmation and and tracking number on my CEL eliminator today. hopefully it all gets here before it starts getting too cold! nothing i hate more than working on a car in the cold.
yellow pro5: yeah i know what you mean about that i live in ohio lol
me: at least now i've got a buddy with a garage. and if it gets too cold, his grandfather's garage is heated! just had it built over the summer.
10/20
me: have a tracking number for me?
10/22
me: i'll take that as a no? did you get it shipped yet?
yellow pro5: yeah i got it shipped i had a friend send it bc i went out of town to a funeral should be there in a couple days
me: sorry to hear. how did it get sent (usps, ups, fedex)?
yellow pro5: usps
me: k, just curious. but he didn't get a tracking number?
yellow pro5: ill call him later and find out and pm you back k
me: appreciate it. sorry if i'm being a pain. just a bit paranoid.
10/25
me: no tracking number?
10/27
me: (poke) can you at least give me a date it was shipped? i think its a bit ridiculous that if it were sent out last tuesday when you said it was going to be shipped that it hasn't made it here yet. i've had parts shipped from california since then that i've already got. i'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but you still haven't gotten back to me with a tracking number like you said you were going to do to begin with.
11/02
me: still no header... and being that i haven't gotten a response from you in over a week now, i'm giving it till friday to show up. if it doesn't show up by then i will be contacting the dayton police.
yellow pro5: dayton police are you serious wow you are way to paranoid man i dont know whats wrong but i have sent stuff out after yours and they have gotten it so who is to say your trying to scam me,,, no one does,, i have sent out a total of 4 items since you got the header and they have all receive there stuff
me: what else am i supposed to think? you told me that you were going to talk to your friend that you said sent the header out and let me know if he got a tracking number. i haven't heard back from you since. i even called the post office to see if they had it sitting there waiting for me and just never sent me a notice that it arrived. i really don't want to think that i'm being scammed, but when you quit responding to me that's the only direction i can think its going. the only reason i went through with the transaction was because you told me you would provide a tracking number. and beyond that, i could have had a brand new one, with a gasket, shipped for $5 more than what i sent you, but i already told you i would buy yours.
yellow pro5: well my bad for not getting back with you i have been so busy with work and i didnt not get a tracking number from him, i got back from the funeral and i had emails that ppl wanna buy this and that and i have since sent that stuff and they have received there goods i will do some checking tomorrow while iam at work k
me: thank you. a simple reply goes a long way. i really don't mean to be a pain, but $200 is a lot of money to me, and i can't just let it go. if it doesn't come tomorrow i'll try calling the post office again while you're doing whatever checking it is that you're going to do.
11/03
me: find anything out for me? i called the post office today and they said without a tracking number they can't do anything for me, but they didn't have it there.
11/05
me: still no information for me? can't even confirm a date that it got shipped? no receipt? glad you could get back to me like you said you were going to... again.
yellow pro5: i wasnt goin to get back with you till i found something out i go to work at 630am and get off at 7pm iam waiting to hear back from them
me: sorry, i wasn't clear on that. who exactly are you waiting to hear back from, if i may ask?
11/09
me: still no news? cause i still don't have the header...
11/10
me: talked to the post office again today. they said there is no reason that if it were sent out 3 weeks ago today that it shouldn't be here by now. i'd like some response... maybe even an answer or two.
11/12
yellow pro5: it actually is was sitting at my post office with no return address and they said the address it goin to was wrong so they sent it back to the post office i shipped out of,, iam re packing it tonight and re wrighting and resending tomorrow k
i know my friend is dumb but didnt know he was that dumb lol
11/14
me: sorry if i don't see the comedy in that, it does however explain why i still hadn't recieved it. are you getting me a tracking number this time?
11/28
me:another 2 weeks and still no header. would be a lot nicer on both our ends if there were a tracking number... i wouldn't be bugging you, and you wouldn't have to deal with me...
that's all of them...
