Customers

It's a tough situation. Being the owner of a tool and die shop, I take care of my customers to the best of my ability. I try to do the same when selling truck parts (I just picked up the 31st truck I will have stripped in the last 2 years). Most of the time, I will give people a long rope on the truck parts. It's a hobby or sideline for me. If it's your mainstay, I would treat it a little different. Right now, I have been waiting for a $75 part from a board member that was paid for months ago, I have two trucks that have deposits on them that have been sitting for a while in my yard (wife's happy), and all kinds of other dealings. I don't get too upset. It's just a hobby for me. I have had good and bad luck with people saying that they are going to purchase stuff. I have alot of ebay deadbeat buyers. To be honest, I don't even bother giving them negative feedback. I may send them a "spicy" e-mail thanking them for their "generosity", but that's about it. I guess to sum it up, sometimes you have to take the bad with the good. You do have a good reputation for selling parts (I have bought stuff from you) and I'm sure if you handle it professionally, you will continue to do so. Brian
