I had problems with djdelly a few years back. He gave me the runaround on buying an item for more than a year, but since I was younger and more naive back then, I accepted his excuses without hesitation. The whole time throughout the transaction, his communication with me was rather subpar and spotty.
My memory is a bit spotty on the whole thing, and unfortunately I'm at college and my logs of our transaction are at home so I can't refer to them to make sure all the details are exact.
I listed a color Sony Clie PDA for sale a few years back. djdelly replied to my post and said that he would send me a MO for my PDA. I waited a while and never got it. I would PM him about once a week for an update on him sending a MO, and when he would reply, I'd get excuses like work expenses, needing to repair his car, getting sick, etc., so he couldn't afford to send me the money. Finally, I had heard from him that the MO that he sent had probably gotten lost in the mail, so he'd use his receipt to get a new MO and send that to me. Again, I waited and waited for this new MO to arrive, and again I got the runaround with excuses. Finally he said that his girlfriend had bought him a high-end PDA and wouldn't need to buy mine any more. IMO this was just an excuse to not have to buy my PDA any more. He did say that he'd send me some games to make up for not needing to buy my item any more, but I never got these games. I would PM him now and then to remind him that he said he'd sweeten the deal by sending me some games, but I eventually stopped, since I realized I'd never get these games, and that (IMO) djdelly had said that to keep me appeased.
I think that he had buyer's remorse and wanted out of the deal, but couldn't be upfront and say it. In any event, I didn't lose anything, but he did waste more than a year of my time. Not to mention, flat-out lying to me about making good on the time wasted. I wish I had been less naive back then, so I could confront him about his endless excuses, and at the least not have the deal stretched out for more than a year.
Proceed with caution, or maybe even back out of the deal entirely. It would be a good idea to get his phone number since he doesn't seem to reply to PMs very often. If you want more details on my experience with him, go ahead and ask.
