Dash Pads - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

fade94 · 08-19-2005, 09:53 AM

The reason for such scrutiny, is because of the other guy. He has been known to change ID's to sell stuff. He has ripped off a lot of people. So, when we/I see a new ID with no post that only joined to sell stuff selling the same stuff as this guy, only listing East Texas as a location, with no email address to send questions to, it looks suspecious. This is not a personal attack on you. This board is a great place to get and share info as well as selling stuff. However, the majority of people selling stuff have been on the board for a long time and didn't join to sell stuff. Please understand that the members of this board are great people and will do all we can to protect the integrity and our pocket books as much as we can.

Now, about the dash pads. Do you have any pictures?

*runningrose* · 08-19-2005, 09:56 AM

I have the pictures, I just have to figure out how to post them. Can you tell me?

*runningrose* · 08-19-2005, 09:58 AM

My email is listed, also, I gave it to you yesterday. lmbrown_59@yahoo.com

Rose,

If your in fact not him, don't take it personally. There's a couple of "shady" guys that just so happen to be from Texas that are ripping people off - taking their money and then either not sending the parts or sending a pile of crap that just gets thrown away. They continuously get caught coming back to the board as a different user. If you were from anywhere else you wouldn't be getting this. Being from Texas, I know that the majority of the populus is honest and hardworking individuals. Again, we're not trying to ridicule you - just trying to keep from getting burnt.

From the sound of all the posts - it sounds like there's folks there locally that could take a look at a bezel and a dash pad and tell their originality.

In the meantime, if you are capable of emailing photos please email me at Lawsonj@cfl.rr.com

*runningrose* · 08-19-2005, 12:34 PM

I uploaded pictures to yahoo. click on link to see.

When you go to reply, don't do the quick reply. Then enter your text in the box. Then, at the bottom, hit the button that says "manage attachments". It will pop up a window that you can browse your computer with and upload the photo. Just be sure the size is 100 k or less and the width is 642 or less. If it doesn't meet the requirements, it will tell you why. Then just edit the pic and try to upload again.

You can use Image Resizer at MS Powertoys for XP (free). This is very simple to use (heck I can) and the price is right.

Chevy_Man · 08-21-2005, 03:45 PM

Hey has anyone heard from him is he for real?

**special-K** · 08-22-2005, 09:09 AM

Welcome to the board from Maryland.I don`t think you are James Blanton.(Although we don`t know his bra size either).The paranoia is only with a few here.They`re a little touchy I guess.This is the first time I`ve seen this.Don`t be offended.It seems there are more Texans on here than any others.My first deal here was with a Texan.I just had dinner the other night with a Texan.In my own home!!I checked,nothing missing.Good luck on your sale with the bad start.Have you introduced yourself in the welcome section?I`m sending a $200 deposit to a new member in Georgia today.I wonder if Blanton moved east.Anyway,just checked this thread and thought it was a little silly and wanted to make you feel welcome.

Edit:I try trust first,never experienced the dude,only read tell-tales.Let`s all go for a cut`n`curl and walk out w/o paying,run to the barber shop,get our heads shaved,and go have a beer across the street.If the cops catch up to us,we`ll rub our heads and say,"I have no idea what you are talking about,Officer.You must have mistaken me for someone with hair.BTW,nice fade."
To all others in Texas,you`re alright!If you see Blanton,set him straight.I`ll leave how up to y`all.

**Don Brace** · 08-22-2005, 10:45 AM

I have purchased some parts from this person. Her name is Lisa Willis.
She is responds to my email in a timely manner and seems to be very easy to deal with. I will let you know when the parts arrive.

*runningrose* · 08-22-2005, 12:20 PM

My name is not Willis. Thank everyone. I have sold everything this weekend as I was out of town. God Bless

Putter · 08-22-2005, 12:30 PM

**in my best Gary Coleman voice***..... "What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis???
Glad you were able to sell everything. Welcome to the board from Central Mississippi.
Please overlook our magnifying glass for new Texans. We are just a touch gun shy!!!

L.Willis is the holder of the paypal account we used to pay James Blanton. We still have the e-mails to prove it.

iwantanssr · 08-22-2005, 03:52 PM

we recieved all the new parts we purchased.James just has not and will not ship the grill or glove box cover.

Alan Potter · 08-22-2005, 06:38 PM

Can they be painted to match another color besides black?? I need grey.

iwantanssr · 08-22-2005, 07:27 PM

Lisa Willis is organizing the car and truck show in Lone Oak. The phone number for info is the same phone number used in all of James Blanton's ebay auctions and the same number as Lisa's cuts and curls.I know I'm harping on the subject but we all need to know who we are dealing with.

*wolfthing2000* · 08-22-2005, 11:11 PM

Well, not to butt in here, but I will because I am interested in purchasing also, but where the hey are the pics that everyone seems to be asking for????

milehightoyz · 08-23-2005, 01:44 AM

ive been ripped off in online transactions 6 times in my life and 5 of them were from guys in texas. so i can understand why all the hesitation. i know itd be hard for me to trust.

stllookn · 08-23-2005, 08:44 AM

That's not right to make a general statement like that. I wouldn't want someone to make that statement about Oklahoma just cause of one or two bad apples. The only burn I have had has been the guy in Denison (and he is back), but that doesn't turn me off from Texans. They do have some good parts.

Need a rating thing here like Ebay, maybe a fee for the mod to keep track of every sale....I bet I get booted out for that suggestion LOL. No really though I am really worried now, I don't know who to even consider anymore. Maybe a thread in the FAQ that we called Who not to buy from and we can ask is this guy ok and if enough regulars say yes then....we buy. I don't come in here to buy stuff but I have been looking a lot lately for stuff, I read all kinds of stuff that has taught me more than I could learn in a lifetime it seems.

Check the review board. Lots of feedback on deals both good and bad.
