Well, he's supposedly out of town (see his post in this section).

He's done selling here now...at least officially.  If anyone wants to take the risk after this point, you're on your own.

A note to ALL members.  If you have made a deal, take care of it YOURSELF in a timely manner. Cut the BS.

Shame302.......I DID have a matter that I dealt with. I've never hid it. Was VERY open about it so people would know. Myself and another individual (who had access to parts I didn't), decided to sell parts together, and split the money. I sold parts, he pulled them and gave them to me when he had what I was looking for to sell. He took off, no parts, no money, and I was left holding the bag.....of no parts to ship, and no funds. I went out, found the parts that were obligated to people (took the H-pipe from my car), and made things right with everyone. I have the highest feedback here on the forum, and make sure every deal is handles, and if a part was bad....which is rare .....sent replacements. I've even sent parts, that through loose communication, were wrong, and when I found out, I sent replacements, without asking for a return on the first piece. I can't even tell you how many free parts I've sent out because I was just able to. I do what I have to do, I have always treated people right. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here, and have the reputation I have here. Very few members here have NOT done business with me.

 
Vinnie is awesome to deal with, he's has given me a dome light lense for free and has helped me find parts that he didnt have. Anyone that helps me without making any profit is good people in my book. He genuinly wants to help.

If he hoses Vinnie then I don't think he is going to have much love from anyone around here.  Vinnie is a has been great to deal with in the few things I've been involved with him on.

:iagree:

Thanks guys. To be honest, I'm hoping it's all a big old misunderstanding, and we work it all out. I hope my "worries" about this deal were all for nothing, and I have to make an apology. I can live with that. To stay on topic, he replied and told me he should be home tomorrow and should have the tracking info for me. Until it's settled one way or another, I have nothing bad to say, and no accusations to hand out. Bottom line, just want to get it worked out. Easy as that.

I hope it works out for you Vinnie but he had excuse after excuse after excuse when I was trying to get my parts from him to. If I remember correctly this has been going on since november right? That's an awfull long time. I waited as long as I could to because I wanted to give him the chance to make good but paypal has a time limit and I almost exhausted it before I filed a claim against him. You're more paitient than me, that's for sure.

Not since November. That's when we started talking. The payment was sent last month when we finally got it all together and he was able to find time from work to get them.

alright people, there's really no need for any of you to chime in.. me and vinnie have been in contact through FB messages.. i was away on vacation, there was NOTHING i could do 1000mi away.. i'm headed to the shop in a couple minutes to get my truck.. there will either be a returned box sitting there or the tracking slip to track it down and figure out wtf's going on.. with god as my witness, this package was shipped over 2 weeks ago (on or around April 2nd), days before i left for FLA

I'm glad you opened it back up. He did the same thing to me. Only I got lucky, the friend who's paypal account he had me send the money to stepped after I filed a dispute and refunded my money. Im glad I paid through paypal! Here's the link, he also went by a different name then and rejoined under his current one. I wasn't fooled. http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?30553-Does-anyone-know-what-has-happened-to-Turbo_88_XR7.

 
i wasn't hiding behind a new name or anything of the sort.. i made a new name when i returned, because i had issues with my old name and retrieving my password.. chuck even contacted me about my new account and why i didn't re-use my old 1 and i explained why.. he contacted an admin/mod and it was never brought up again :dunno: but anyone with eyes could tell it was me, with a new name lol

anyway, more importantly, i'm out of here.. i'll post an update on vinnie's box when i get back or first thing in the AM.. not sure what time i'll get home and i'm beat from the long trip home

Just make the deal happen. I've had no intent on you leaving, or even having hard feelings, I just want my stuff. If I get it, then we all move on. The past is the past, and back to Thunderbird and Cougar business. When I've been asked about this situation through PM (by who doesn't matter), I said the same things in private....that I hope it's all a misunderstanding, and that I hope it all works out. Easy, and simple as that.

Chris, I hope you can see my side of it. Thanks for posting, and I look forward to hearing some positive information from you.

Meh, I just remembered there being shenanigans involving Vinni going on at one point. He explained the situation. It wouldn't be honest not to bring it up the way he called the kid out, not that I'm defending said kid. hopefully it works out. This def. has been, historically speaking, a great place to sell parts with confidence.

alright people, there's really no need for any of you to chime in..

FWIW this message was posted in an open forum which is moderated, but at the same time comments are encouraged and none were deleted.  It's been the norm here for us as a community to to get to the bottom of any deal that is questionable -- even when there is no malice in the intent.  We do this because:

There aren't too many places that cater to these cars and I know I've benefited tremendously from it.  I'm sure many others will ring with similar sentiment.

Not sure what you mean by "The way he called the kid out". Perhaps you have a better way to fix this. I'm all ears. I contacted him before I sent the payment in the fashion he asked for, when he asked for it. I asked for a tracking number to be passed along so I could track the package and be ready to receive it so it didn't have to sit on the porch while I was gone. He stated his mother would ship it. Fine with me. I waited. After a period of time passed, no word. I contacted him through PM. he said he'd check on it. I waited. I contacted him again, and he stated the box was in the trunk of the car, and he'd ship it. I waited. I contacted him again, and he said he would ship it the next day. I asked for tracking. I waited. he stated he sent it 4 days before he left for Florida. Still no tracking in that period of time. He told me the tracking slip was in the console. He would have a guy at the shop where the car was, check it out for him. Nothing. No voluntary updates, no info unless I chased him down for it. At least not until I posted this thread. I still had to find him on Facebook. I'm waiting. It's been about a month since I made payment. I have been patient. I'm still hoping for the best.

If the package was "returned to the shop", I'd still like to have that tracking info that was on the original receipt. That will answer everything. I have a long history here of not bashing people, or getting into conflicts. After some methods of info seeking don't work, one has to try other options, thus, this thread. If it all works out, I'll have no hard feelings, I won't want Shadow to leave, and we can all move along, lock this thread, and continue on with what we do with these cars, and our forum. All this is for is information seeking, and settling an issue that started here on the forum, as this is where the deal was made. if we made the deal on the Corral, then it would be handled there, not here. Yes, sometimes things happen that are way out of our control. I lived that with my selling "adventure" a long time ago. I made it right, as that was the right thing to do, and my responsibility, and have probably sold more here than anyone. This thread was not intended to be an insult. A few here now have had some selling "issues", got them worked out, and we all moved on. As I said, sometimes stuff happens. Poor mail delivery, seller just didn't get around to shipping when he said he would, whatever. That's not the issue. It's how you handle it that is the important part. It's been about a month.and I'm waiting. I'm not calling for anyone to be banned, or punished. I myself thought I have handled this fairly. if somebody thinks different, I'm wide open to listen to your difference of opinion, and what you would do if it were your situation. I can always learn new things, and am, by no means, perfect, nor do I claim to have all the right answers. I can be as wrong as anyone.

Shame, I do appreciate your post, and have no issues with that at all. Like you said, fair is fair, and I do agree with that.
