Hopefully.....this puke DOESNT represent Texas!!! 99.9%
of us are OK.....

[teeitup]

Everyone else I've dealt with in Texas has been great except him.!

[67chevemall]

I bought some clear parking lenes off him for $10. After 2 weeks I
got a email saying they were returned to him. Bad address???
This has never happened so I gave him the right address AGAIN and he
said he shipped em out but I owed him some $. Then he said they came
back again. At this point I just wanted the dam lenes and him out of
my life so I sent him the $18 he wanted and a miracle must of happened
because they arrives two days later at the address I sent him three or four times. So for $28US I got them after 6 weeks.........He sucks ass.

[nevrenz]

he ripped me off on ebay as well. i bought a chrome heater cover and it didnt ship untill 30+ days later. Once i got it it had damage on it. I called him to talk about it and he was a total jerk on the phone. no customer service.

[dtlilly]

Thanks Josh for the sticky.

James got some money from me back in March, and I never recieved the parts, I would have been happy to at least recieved something, I'm glad he's gone. Maybe we could send this to Ebay to let them know what a weasel he is.

Hey if this guys from tx i ran in to him in Arlinton TX and bought a chrome glove box door for $15 I didn't trust him then but the price was right. he also told me he was on Ebay as Truckparts67-72 and dose the white face guages now i know THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP!!!!

[73stepside]

i bought a 700r4 from him. i went out to his place in lone oak tx and looked at his chrome stuff too. needless to say the 700 was the only part i brought home with me. good thing i new what to look for in a 700. his chrome parts are old parts he pulls from the junk trucks and sends toa chrome shop. he doesn't even try to fix them or clean them up before chroming.

I'm from Texas and don't like guys like that putting out bad impressions so I want to take the time to say that all members from Texas are not like that,I have dealt with nightmare,smonty,and superchevy from this board and have met them in person and must say they are some of the nicest people I've come across in my short time here on this board. So thats it IMO.

[KTLX]

I guess I have been very fortunate. I have bought many parts from truckparts67_72 on ebay and have been very pleased. I recommend using pay pal so you can dispute the credit card charge if you are not satisfied. All in all I guess I dont agree, or I have been lucky.

I have been keeping my mouth shut for months now on this issue but due to the recent sticky note, I want to share something. Do a search on sliciknsmooth72 and smooth72 and YOU WILL SEE that this person seems to be using the same phone number. I called smooth72 awhile back about some doors that he was selling and he said his name was James,but I never bought them because he would never send me pics. Then a couple months went by and I was going to buy a cab from slicknsmooth72 and quess what NO pics again, then I realized the voice sounded the same as smooth72 and so I asked what his name was, quess what, this guys name was James again. So I then did a search on the two names and found out that the phone numbers were the same. After getting a little pissed I confronted him about being smooth72 and slicknsmooth72 and asing if his name was James B. he hung up the phone. OH btw, he said he was never a board member before when I was talking to him as slicknsmooth72. You be the judge.

Just sharing some info.
Ron

That sounds a little fishy to me,maybe Josh will check it out.

[19mike69]

yeah,i bought a grill from the guy at a swap meet in Greenville last year....he told me on the phone and through email that the grille had already been polished and cleaned and all that and looked like a brand new one....needless to say when i got there i saw it wasnt what he said it was,he dropped the price WAY down,and i bought it....was also supposed to be getting this "in great shape" upper trim for a longbed...wasnt any better than the junk i took off...im sure i wont ever buy from him again....i too saw his chrome collection at the meet and i wouldnt have bought any of it for a DAILY driver

[krazy_texan]

atleast you guys have not had to have a swap meet booth next to him, that guy is so annoying and he would not leave me the f### alone, this was before i knew all this info to and when he was starting to get into trouble on the board, i think i actually did more buisness than he did

[19mike69]

you talk about annoying,you are soooooo right....he was so da** annoying just to be around for the 15 minutes i was...and all he did the entire time was gripe and complain about this board and how this place was less than 10% of his actual business....i wanted to say "ok dude,i dont care...shut the f**k up"

[autolabor]

What comes around goes around..... Just ask the inmates that I baby sit for everyday....

[69c10stepside]

I haven't been on the board in .. several months .. and when I left this guy was just starting to show his true colors.. I am happy to know we have a webmaster stepping up to keep everything / everybody fair Good job.

[Bartcore]

How can somebody like this be in buisness? If this were in my town this dude would be blacklisted period

easily, people dont know about him... see he has some huge rating and buy from him because its chrome.
see, we know about him. and weve seen how bad some of his stuff is. i think most of his business is first time buyers... or should i say 1 time buyers

[rolson1039]

lol i thought there were suppoused to be alot of really tall trees and short ropes in texas for people like him ( at least thats what the toby keith/willie nelson song says)

seriously thanks for the heads up and good job josh

[99-2door]

I am glad I read this I was looking at some interior pieces this guy had on e-bay. Thanks for the heads up!

[BEAVIS]

Ok guys, I am a junior board member to the board and had no dealings with this guy, but I ran a check on his ph number listed on e-bay and it came back as a business "Lisa's Cuts and Curls" seems like this guy likes to pretty em up before he puts the wood to his customers. Anyway I will be in Paris Texas sometime this month which is about an hour from Lone Oak and plan to see this jack**s in the flesh. Keep up the good work, I love this board.
