Well I believe I got screwed

Yep, ordered a fulltone ocd from a CA craigslist almost 2 weeks ago and still no pedal, no tracking number, and NOW no contact with the "seller". He said he shipped it out last friday, but yet I still have no tracking number for it...... getting pretty pissed and I don't know what to do. All I wanted was a nice OCD and it comes to this. Why can't people just be honest these days. Sorry for rambling, I have just come to appreciate TB and its honesty (AFAIK) and am deeply depressed as I have $130 down the drain. Maybe its a sign I dont need effects....

Ouch... that really does suck.

It's one of the reasons why I only do local Craigslist deals. It's not secure in the way that eBay is, so I'd rather not take my chances with long-distance deals...

Yeah, the seller is counting on you not going out there looking for your $130!

I'm not trying to be callous, just curious. I thought the whole point of craig's list was that you did the exchange in person?

If you have his address, you should inform him that a couple of your ex-Marine Corps buddies will drop by to pick up the pedal if he can't get it to the post office in the next day or two. It's worked for me.
