Yes I have the money in my hands,
I was saying, that last night ( two days before deadline) he notified me that he had it and was sending it to me ( via western union)
today the 31st, I went and picked it up from western union.
so its a closed case. Buyer beware, your mileage may vary etc... but I can close the loop on this thread and say that I am no longer looking for the truck, and have received my over due payment.
although some would cry for blood and vengeance, I'm just happy I got my money. and I don't have to deal with him at work anymore, because he no longer works there.
