Is this James Blanton's new ebay name? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

c10crazy · 12-23-2008, 11:20 PM

This ad sure seems like it would be, with lsparts@att.com being a similar email to his last one for Lone Star truck parts.

Hey guys I read part of a thread on here about him when I first signed up, what is the story on this guy? You don't have to go into a great deal of details. Just wondering.

His "knowledgeable staff" consists of his two pit bulls and one sickly Chihuahua "chew toy" that have an affinity for "Ol Roy" dog food.

Geez dude, it's called spell/grammar check.. use it! This clubfoot is a triple chrome plated tool.

MotorSeven · 12-25-2008, 01:10 AM

66, remember that you only have 45 days to file a dispute thru Paypal. After that you are screwed. Blanton will use promises & delay tactics to get past that deadline.

Gray Ghost · 12-25-2008, 01:50 AM

I've been to his place [a few years back]....the chrome stuff he had that day is the worst I have ever seen. After that trip and seeing the crap he sells that his 'excellent' chrome shop puts out, I decided to never buy anything from him. He is your typical POS parts dealer, but with fewer scruples than anyone else in the biz. I doubt he will ever get shut down regardless of anything anyone does on ebay and that's a shame.

Glad you guys are keeping up with his ever changing name game.

Were you tempted to ask him why he "effed" over so many good people spending their hard earned money?

**special-K** · 12-25-2008, 06:09 AM

47 deals and 100% feedback,yeah right!Shows how stats can lie.Give us the whole picture.I guess he`s what you`d call a born again ripoff.

A pair of steel truck hinges "beadblasted" then chromed?
Sandblasting is what would be in order according to my book.I doubt he`d use a more expensve media where not required and less effective.
50-72 trucks?Not 47-49s?Why not.Any "expert" knows they are all the same design.

mbgmike · 12-25-2008, 10:47 AM

Yeah its the same chair used in his photos in the past and the picture is in front of his house. When did he get a staff? Our "staff" costs us money

I guess he sold his ebay business and had a grand re-opening in the same location but changed to a Mesquite location. Reminds me of some furniture stores.

phipp13 · 12-25-2008, 11:12 AM

Man i musta got lucky, i got 2 fenders from ls parts and he shipped them by greyhound bus. saved me a bundle in shipping. i better go out and open the pkgs to make sure they're not dented peices of crap. they are new though i did see that much of them. went thru paypal too to make sure i did'nt get screwed. phipp

I would go out and check ASAP...the few things I got from him on Ebay were junk. Got one of the chrome plated ashtrays...I'll have to take pics sometime because the inside of the ashtray is no longer there...completely rusted out...couldn't he have found a decent one to chrome???

Also, I think the reason he has 100% positive feedback is that many of his initial offerings were private listings probably sold to friends to build his feedback.

phipp13 · 12-25-2008, 11:12 PM

well, i'm pleased to say that the fenders are new repo's they are made in taiwan and epoxy primed black . thats what the sticker read. they'er NOT dented from what i could see.they are in the origional shipping boxes as well as plastic over that. i did cut the boxes open and looked. i hope that ther're not ill fitting. THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP! I THINK I DOGED A BULLET!!!

this cop should haul his arse in for screwing so many people over

66skylarkpost · 12-26-2008, 10:56 AM

i'll probably just file a paypal claim and have them deal with him . that way they might report and investigate his actions ... again . lol
