Do not do business with 'JIMOTHYJ'!!! He's a complete flake and time waster.
He posted a WTB ad searching for 34mm forks on Friday, 9/7/18 - http://www.xs650.com/threads/wanted-34-mm-fork-for-1974-tx-650.52998/
I replied that day with a link to a set of 34mm forks I had listed for sale - http://www.xs650.com/threads/34mm-forks-triples.52686/
Having not heard back from him, I initiated a conversation with him on Tuesday, 9/11/18 as follows; screen shots are attached below:
NWWA via xs650.com PM @ 7:57pm on 9/11/18:
Did you want them?
http://www.xs650.com/threads/34mm-forks-triples.52686/
Let me know, thanks.
JIMOTHYJ via xs650.com PM @ 8:43pm on 9/12/18:
I want the forks only can we get together on that? and I am waiting on my debit card, should be here any day, that is the real holdup
NWWA via xs650.com PM @ 4:23pm on 9/13/18:
I priced them at $100 almost entirely based on the forks, the triples hold little to no value or use to me.
If all you want is the forks, I'll do $90 net to me plus shipping.
Let me know your address and I'll figure out what shipping will be.
When do you expect your debit card?
Thanks
JIMOTHYJ via xs650.com PM @ 4:08pm on 9/15/18:
Good Deal I'll take them. Are they ready cuz I want them asap for $90 + shipping. I found another set for $86 on Ebay, but I will rather do business with you. My address is James Baird
4197 Hazelcrest Dr. Las Vegas, Nv. 8912I I have my new card so let me know how to use it, my ph is 702 539 3555 Jim
NWWA via xs650.com PM @ 6:08pm on 9/15/18:
I've the forks all boxed up.
Shipping via Fedex Ground to a residential address in Las Vegas, NV, 89121, insured for $100, and with tracking is $32.
34mm forks @ $90 + shipping @ $32 = $122 total
What's your direct email address? I'll send you an invoice via paypal that you can pay with a debit card.
Thanks

Thanks, just sent you an invoice via paypal you can pay w/your debit card - https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-pay-for-a-payment-request-or-invoice-faq2206

I just sent you an invoice via paypal to jamesjbaird@yahoo.com
You can pay it w/your debit card w/o signing up on paypal, instructions - https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-pay-for-a-payment-request-or-invoice-faq2206
I then waited for JIMOTHYJ to pay the paypal invoice I had created and sent him.
Foolishly, I believed him when he said "Good Deal I'll take them. Are they ready cuz I want them asap for $90 + shipping. I found another set for $86 on Ebay, but I will rather do business with you"
Appreciating the desire to get a needed part as soon as possible, I spent a fair bit of time this evening pulling the forks from my shop, cutting down a larger box in order to fit them well while minimizing the shipping costs, packed the forks with plenty of padding, created a shipping order so that the shipping quote would be accurate and ready to go as soon as he sent payment, and generated and sent him an invoice along with instructions for how to use his debit card as he'd mentioned he didn't know what to use it - "I have my new card so let me know how to use it...".
I then waited to receive confirmation of his payment.....
Instead, this is the reply I got:

Got a better price for a set on eBay $75 sorry to waste your time
NWWA via text @ 9:19pm on 9/15/18:
WTF???
I haven't heard anything since, nor do I expect to; this guy is an ignorant and narcissistic asshole.
Searching eBay, its abundantly clear he bought a pair of forks w/cracked lowers for $86.39 + shipping at 7:39pm on 9/15/18, half an hour after I PM'd him, as well as texted him, that I'd already packaged, sent an invoice, and initiated a shipping order the forks, w/o cracked lower btw, he'd agreed to buy for $90 + shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1975-Yamaha-XS650-TX650-Y695-Front-Suspension-Forks-Absorbers-1/292384768752?hash=item44137d82f0:g:cKMAAOSwPIhaMspb
This is the kind of asshole that ruins online sales for everyone; avoid him at all costs.
