Exclamation Beware of NYCATT

He goes by "electronics palace". He bought a heli off me, stole ALL the parts off it, filed a claim against me and sent it back. Now, if you would've believe it, I just found all my spare parts he stole from me listed on EBay. He's a common crook from New York, he will also try to have you ship your stuff to an address that's not on his PP so you're not covered by Seller's protection. We don't need people like him in this community.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. People like this make it harder for honest people to do business with each other...

Check it out! He also stole the Edge 120HV esc which it looks like he's keeping.

Default Who is the REAL Scammer

For all that don't know the full story here goes.

I purchased this Heli and was forced to Buy tons of extra parts with receipts that I can show and prove. The Heli was a complete piece of crap and was in a lipo fire that the seller never mentioned. Instead of sending it back I asked the seller to pay for all the damaged parts that I already had bought. Since he lied and diened I filed a PayPal claim which I returned the heli and now I'm stuck with all these brand new parts and some used and another 700x owner gave me to get me in the air. The melted esc and all junk and used parts were thrown back into the beat up box that was sent to me. I have nothing else to say to the seller or anyone else that wants to fuel this drama.

I saw the 700x in person. It was a mess. I can vouch for nycatt. He bought those parts himself and I also gave him some of my 700x parts.

Ive known Nycatt for a while, a couple of weeks ago we saw the 700x with other people frm the club, it wasnt in the state described in the add. I would have sent the heli back too. Done business with him since before meeting him in person with new and used helis, never hd an issue. Seems like somebody jst trying to scam other good member reputation.

A question for you, and don't bullshit us. Based on what you said in this post, with the info you provided, you expect us to believe that Nycatt stole "ALL" the parts off of your Blade 700x, packaged them in Blade heli parts packaging, and put them up for sale on ebay?

It appears that the evidence is against you. Pics below are the packaged parts on ebay sale. Seems pretty far fetched that someone would go through all that trouble....

The seller in that link has 513 feedbacks with every one of them positive. Not a single negative feedback.

This is why communication is key.

Better listing and presale communication may have avoided this.

Better post purchase communication (just sending it back) also could have helped. Good luck guys. Sorry it went bad.

Yea it doesn't seem to add up. Parts are stripped and then magically put into packaging for Ebay?

The helicopter was sold WITH those spare parts, NEW in the package! Plus some spares out of the package which he says as "free" in ebay add. He stole the rotor links, servo arms, Edge 120HV ESC, the entire tail case with the blades, both canopies!

If he DIDNT steal anything from the helicopter, than why would he have 700X parts at all?! When he got the heli, there was a small crack in one frame plate. He asked if I could split the cost of it. That very moment I gifted him appx $40 via PP, look in the ebay listing... There's a frame plate there. What I sold him and what I got back was NOTHING CLOSE! He also got a FULL refund, therefore I should have received my FULL helicopter plus EVERYTHING I sent him.

Also, when HE filed the claim against me, I agreed to a full refund. I also offered him a BNF Trex 450 DFC Pro because he wasn't happy with the 700X. Below is the original photo. I FLEW this helicopter! Now I just had to order hundred of dollars worth of parts to get it back to the way I sent it to him. Notice how he says this canopy has about 30-40 flights on it, lol.

Here's another one. To lower the price we agreed to sell without main blades and AR7200bx. EVERYTHING else in the helicopter was INCLUDED AND SHIPPED to nycatt.

INCLUDING the nip spares AND opened spares.

Again, if he DIDNT steal anything from me than why does he have these parts? Cuz he has a different 700X? If he has a different one, he's selling the canopy and spare parts for it only? C'mon guys....

Picture look like a brand new heli not a used heli. The main gear is too clean to be a used heli.
