Default Local help needed!

Hello everyone. I have a huge favor and any tips, advise, or information will be greatly appreciated. I did a trade with a local Bay Area member who is well known as well as a 4star member. His name is "bichunmou". He had a set of smoked out taillights in which he wanted to trade for a set of stock ap2 taillights. After a lot of negotiating and talking we were able to set up the trade in which i sent him my taillight when i was out of town and he would send his back right away so when i would get back into town (one week later) i would be able to install them and drive home. We arranged this to benefit each other since our s2k's are our only cars and means of transportation. Well it has been almost a week now with nothing. No calls backs, PMs, or anything. If anybody knows who he is or anything about him that might lead me in a direction into getting some taillights (mine back, or his) please send me a PM. Any information will be kept confidential, i just need lights so i can drive my car to work and home.
Thanks in advanced.

thanks to all! I do have two phone numbers in which i have called and left numerous voicemails. I also have a large number of PM's in which i sent him and tracked them as well and was able to see that he has read them all, but never responded. I didnt think he woulkd scam me either, but at this point im really rally upset. Even if he told me to forget it, and he is keeping both sets i would be half way at ease because then i will know what to do next. And yeah, i rember talking to you "s4play" i believe about buying them from you at one point, i should have gotten them from you. lol..


Thanks again for all the help.

Dan is a good guy, I'm sure he'll pull through. I've only met him a couple times but he doesn't seem like a guy that would scam anyone.

lol. thats a good sigh. I just dont understand why he wont budge. It really makes no sence, and to do this to another s2ki member.... I just cant believe this is happening. Im still stuck with no ride and im actually going to go to the honda dealership today and see if they will loan me a set of of one of their s2k's. (doubt they will).

Sorry to hear you are having these issues....I have two sets of ap2 tails here at the shop but both belong to clients getting smoked tails. You really should have got them from me a while back...haha

I would just go buy a set from Majestic Honda (online) - not that expensive - chaulk it up to experience. This is why we NEVER ship out merchandise without payment or collateral - can't trust anyone these days.
