I hate Ebay!

So here it is.

I Won a frame on ebay, it was a 98 Schwinn Homegrown Full Suspension Frame that had never been built and had fresh powder coat gray. I will admit when I put in my best offer of 100 bucks I didn't think I had a chance at it as that was less than half his reserve on the item, and I had a few beers and said the hell with it and submitted a 100 dollar offer. well I won the damned thing, checked the dudes feedback (all good) and paid through paypal. I sent a message to the guy, and he messaged back about winning it and that he knew I had paid. 2 weeks went by as I messaged him over and over, and I never got a response. I emailed ebay, they provided me his phone number, called numerous times and finally got him to answer after I blocked my number. the guy sounding like he had followed a fart through a bucket full of nails. He then told me that he had been in a bad car crash and was just getting back to work after being in the hospital. I felt bad said I understood and told him I really wanted the frame. He told me he would send it out ASAP, and then email me the tracking information. that was 2 weeks ago. that son of a Biscuit never emailed me anything. I have called and written emails and ebay messages, and finally opened a claim with PayPal. so I was broken hearted and then I saw a craigslist add for an older schwinn S-40. same frame setup same geometry, and the full bike was for 25 bucks. Emailed got it and the pics here are what it looks like after I cut off the fat and made it a single speed. it's about 1/4 cool of the Homegrown but it's a little win for me, and I have seen 4 or 5 of the same bike go for over 300 today, and I got it for 25 bones!!!
