Just what is a dink? He seems to like calling people that. He must have been an only child and had to eat paint chips and things out of the cat box for entertainment

stueber68 · 06-17-2005, 11:00 PM

Wow guys! I am brand new to the page and thought I might be able to buy and sell some stuff I have and replace it with purchases I need. I don't know how much I want to get mixed up in all of this stuff. Seems like one heck of a headache.

chickenwing · 06-17-2005, 11:57 PM

First off, welcome to the board! Please do not be discouraged. Actually board member transactions usually go VERY smoothly. Membership is self-policing and Josh does actively help out transactions gone bad. This thread is a warning about a particularly unscrupulous.... @#$%. You should welcome it.

First off

like chickenwing said don't be discouraged. I have been on this board for 5+ years and have yet had a deal gone bad. We try to treat each other the way we our-selves would want to be treated. Though there are some that join these boards just to make a buck while taking advantage of others.

Also dont be afraid to ask any questions. eventhough we may have answered it a thousand times before we are always happy to help a fellow truck lover in need.

So stick around and ask a way and have fun.

made in Taiwan crap, but oh well... his add didn't say NOS or even that they were quality, so I guess I can't complain.

1991s10 · 07-21-2005, 07:01 PM

I was telling a guy about how James was screwing me on my parts and he told me about this site. I cant believe how many people are mad at him I wish I would of knew sooner.

You know whats bad is that I've been waiting on my handles for 2 months now everyday he says tomorrow

krue · 07-21-2005, 09:47 PM

Welcome to the board, hate to hear that texparts got you too, but at least you know about the best site on the web now.

1991s10 · 07-21-2005, 10:04 PM

Hey guys if yall know anybody looking I've got a 69 short wide 4 sale new paint job pearl white ghost flames and purple flames,narrowed 9"rear new motor still waiting for some interior from u know who. Aready payed too. I need outside handles and kick panels if I dont get them from him

krue · 07-21-2005, 11:08 PM

Try the "trucks for sale" section.

mbgmike · 08-08-2005, 10:58 AM

Just thought I would add another to the List. august 2005. He is still ripping people off on ebay. I bought a "GREAT CONDITION" rear 67 fleetside fender from him. It looked decent in the photo but it turned out loaded with bondo from the center of the opening all the way to the front up to 1/2inch thick. He did not do the work I'm sure but it was obvious it had prior damage that he should have disclosed. all the bondo was coming through the holes in back where a puller was used. I left him a neutral rating stating this and rated the transaction OK because I can fix it. He leaves a negative and says I waited "3weeks to pick up part not happy at all" what a liar.
anyone can track the transaction dates and see it was only two weeks. He called me the Monday after the day after the item closed. we agreed that I could pick it up after the payment was completed. I waited to hear from him and he didn't reply until i finally emailed him and asked him when i could pick it up. He sent me his address with no communication what so ever when he would be there or if saturday was even ok. the first saturday was already gone. I sent him an email stating i would be there on the next saturday to pick it up. I drive 5.1/2 hrs to get there and call him and he doesn't even remember selling it to me at first. I think he finally remembered when he found out I was right down the road. The body work was evident immediately, not wanting to argue after I had paid i just told myself "OH well I can fix it" caveat emptor. He understated the condition of the item. He leaves me negative feedback because i rate the transaction OK. He's a redneck jerk that rips off fellow texans as well as others. I saw his "Custom Show Truck" he is building He has all kinds of grit in his epoxy primer from painting it in his little shack. Not quality work He was also bondoing up a tailgate at the time to sell on ebay It looked like ****.
I live in houston and anything I sell has a money back guarantee regardless of the reason. con men live in all states not just texas. PAyPal and EBay have done nothing about my claims except file my case closed. thanks for letting me air my feelings but got to go grind off more bondo

Well, I guess by now he should surely know where to stick it. Sounds like he sticks it to everbody else. Sounds like a really nice guy. Glad I never got the pleasure of dealing with him.

iwantanssr · 08-13-2005, 11:33 AM

We purchased new parts as well as a mint condition rechromed 1969 GMC grill and glove box cover from James on Feb.27,2005 well he sent the new parts no problem but we are still waiting for the grill and glove box cover. We did'nt do a paypal chargeback because he kept saying it was in the chrome shop and we understood that could take time.So we have been scammed for $380.00. We have phoned him repeatedly only to hear I'm not refunding because I shipped it but he won't give a tracking number,then he says P.O. shipped it back to him and he reshipped. Told him yesterday we were filing fraud reports etc. his reply do want you want.He's a real winner alright.

bowtie · 08-13-2005, 12:02 PM

I'm bidding on some chrome from ebay and was hoping this wasn't James (tammy1107 ( 690) ) and if not has anyone from the board bought from this vendor. This vendor is from Kentucky and hopfully doesn't have nything to do with Lone Oak. thanks

I think I read something on one of the threads about her. I'll go read back and see if I can find it.

86swb · 08-13-2005, 12:43 PM

This guy needs to be closed down before someone shoots him. Hope everone takes head to all these warnings about this jerk.

Unless you are looking for an "ok" chrome job something for a daily driver. I would not buy from her.
A friend of mine got a set of chrome plated chevelle headlight bezels from her.... honestly his original bezels looked better after a good polishing.

1991s10 · 08-17-2005, 08:11 PM

He told me he was going to shoot me if i went to his house so I'm waiting to catch him at a car show and I'll get him for everybody.I heard he will be in Arlington at the swap meet next month

Jwill41 · 08-17-2005, 08:27 PM

I saw him at the Arlington swap meet a couple of years in a row so he probably will be there.

jc · 08-19-2005, 04:13 AM
