integrity of this board by members

[BCOWANWHEELS]

reciently i,ve had several dealings with a few board member who,ve committed to buying parts, so i took the time to cherry pick for them & remove parts per there requestand in one case haul part 200 miles ( for free with a no show ) and in another case package, get shipping quotes and have everything ready to go when payment arrives. and then there know where to be found, wont answer emails, wont answer phone callls not even the slightest courtesy to pm, email or call and cancel. people the integrity of this site is very high but to keep it please if you do not intend to carry through with your deals dont make them. there is things we all need to do and take care of besides risking injury ( from removeing big heavy parts ) and time lost for taking the time to help you out with antique parts. its very frustrateing. from now on any parts i have that can or will be sold will be paid for in advance before any effort has been spent on anything to do with the parts. a few have ruined it for the rest.i,ve herd from others who sell this same story several times.....
regretfully

That is sad.

[OldCreek]

Yup. Integrity of this board IS vital. It keeps us from having to waste our time on e-bay and losing some money to a third party. I'd hate to think that we need to set up a 'feedback' scoring system on this board. yikes!

[dave2953]

Sorry to hear about the troubles you had. That sucks.

[Longhorn Man]

Bob... you know my $$ is on the way.
Bob is a good guy. We and I have had dealings before, and out of trust, he was dropping off almost $50 worth of stuff at DHL, as I was at the post office getting a money order. I'll probably have these parts mounted on my burb before he sees any green.
THAT... is a good member to have.
I've been burned in the same way he has just described.

This needs to be seen by everyone.

People, keep our board clean and honest. It's a good community.

I know this isn't necessarily the "correct" forum, but it will get more views here than anywhere...

[Longhorn Man]

bob.. I know it wasn't to me.
I was useing our transaction, and your actions based on faith and previouse transactions, to show that you are a good trusting man who will go out of your way and go above and beyond to make the deal.
If you had any question what so ever on if I was sending the money... you woulda locked up my parts untill the money order got there and was inspected and cashed.

Shawn, honestly, I think I may have seen something. I have a stack of mail sitting downstairs that I haven't gone through yet. I know I don't have any bills due for another week, so the mail has been a little low on my priority list. (I had thought all my sold parts were paid for and shipped already)
Since I left for Washington, EVERYTHING has been a blur. Heck, I have yet to do laundry since before I left to get the burb. (I have lotsa clothes) It's been a steady flow of crap bombarded on Andy for 2 weeks now, starting the day i got home.



2 min later...
Yeah shawn, I have your funds here. Give me a couple days to get it ready and it'll be out. Like I said, I thought everything was gone already. My apologies on not bein ready for you.

[Ace in the hole]

Sorry to hear about your bad luck bob. People that do that sort of thing tick me right off too. If someone wants to back out of a deal at least have the common courtesy of telling me so.

I catch myself getting excited about things and then having to step back and say "I can't do it right now" and let things pass - I can see it happening to others but they don't pull up.
I've been holding my tongue on this and still think I should but this kills me - I've sent a few things and the money never shows.. ask a few times, hear the hard luck story so I say "Let it slide this time, it's on me"... The next thing I see is a post about the new intake or carb or PARTS TRUCK someone just bought... and I can't afford the intake or carb I want STILL! - Anywho, glad it's off my chest.
(and GOD I hope I don't owe anybody anything at the moment.. pretty sure I don't.....)

[SactoJim]

This is kinda a good overall general statement in society these days......It's always the few that F it up for the rest of us!!!

[anderson304]

why not mention these loosers names, so they can feel like the loosers they are. But they probably won't thats kinda the way loosers are. but also the rest of us will know who they are, so we don't have to deal with them and get srcewed around aswell. Just my 2 cents.

[bad6772]

Agree with jim.... the nice guys always finish last.......

[centsless]

I think it is good to make people aware of what we go through to sell an item, but any more references to actual members and I will have to lock the thread. Please keep on topic.
Thanks

Ive been on this board for going on 6 years. I haven't sold a ton, but Ive bought a lot of stuff. No problems with any transaction that come to mind. Heck I even sold a burb to some fella back in Ohio, and that went smooth as silk too.

Sorry you've run into some bad transactions. Dont give up on the board members. Considering how many members there are I guess there are bound to be a few that are less the stellar.

[Ackattack]

I haven't sold anything on this board, but have on other boards and I went through the same thing. Though I haven't had nearly the problems as I have with people from craigslist.

They'll call, set up times to meet up to look at this or that, and then I end up waiting around for hours in hopes that they'll show up soon. And nothing. And they don't have the common courtisy to make a simple call. How hard is it to pick up a phone and call a person and say you're not coming? I have enough things to do than sit around and wait for someone to buy my $20 part.

[bad_turbo]

Amen brother!

[krue]

First contact the admins if their is fraud going on. If it's the above situation.... we have a REVIEW BOARD to post dealings with members. Now be aware that sticking to the facts (not feelings) of the deal is required (no name calling, flaming, etc). But if you don't review the transaction, then no one else has a clue and may wind up in the same situation as you.

[tcb-1]

I joined this board simply because it's members seemed honest and forthright. had many dealings with members (drew67, blazerman, wugunguy, etc) and they have all been fantastic. I hope the practice of bad dealings is only sporadic!!!

[BCOWANWHEELS]

I,LL NOT POST NO NAMES i probably should have not even posted what i did. guess i was just upset as all of the members who i,ve bought from have treated me so nice i figured i should show the same respect to others in turn who i sell my mere pittance to as i,am not a vendor just a hobbyist. all i,am gonna say and i,ll ask for forgiveness in my prayers for being upset and forgive also. that old devil sure know how and when to give you a good kickin......

[teeitup]

Unfortunately it happens, I get frustrated with it too. I guess some members do not think about the time it takes to get part pulled, getting shipping prices, finding boxes, then boxing, shipping part, etc. Its happened to me a few times, I just mark down names on a list I have and try not to deal with the ones that do it.

[weasel29gm]

Bob, its good that you posted this way hopefully the other party will make it right. I've bought and sold here and never a problem. Thats what makes this board so great. And have met many members in person. All great to talk and deal with. But like in the past there is a always a bad apple or two. So whoever it is that this deal is about make it right!!! Its the right thing to do!!
