BAD GUY FEEDBACK Kevin4G63T

ManiacMotorsports · 03-07-2009

Kevin4G63T had a 14b up for sale I made an offer on it and he accepted my offer, said I'd have to pick it up this weekend, then he sold it out from underneath my feet without so much as a courtesy call....

If you drove out to his house, wasted gas and time, only to have him say its gone, then that is unacceptable....

at the very minimum, he should have offered you gas money.

Is this the case?

desolate · 03-07-2009

obviously bad seller.

FattyBoomBatty · 03-07-2009

Instead of a "...." at the end of your complaint, maybe you should include the details after your short account of what happened. Did you go out to his place to get it, or did you call him and find out that way or what?

**JET** · 03-07-2009

Did you say you would 100% take it, or did you just say you wanted it? Most people consider it up for grabs until some money is put down on it.

ManiacMotorsports · 03-07-2009

I said I would take it said I'd pick it up on Sunday, I did not drive to his house, he sent me a PM stating that he sold it to another buyer for the full asking price and that it was already gone but I just thought it was crummy of him after saying that he accepted my offer to do this without at least seeing if I was willing to pay more, meet half way in between or something....I can understand what he did, but it doesn't make it right...

Sorry that you're unhappy, but its the nature of the beast. A lot of people are flakes, when I'm selling something I don't consider it sold until money is in my pocket.

Well I'm sorry you feel that way, I had a 2 hr drive I woulda had to make to go get the turbo, I told him I'd take it and in my book thats as good as sold. I guess your word don't mean shit so i'll be sure not to buy anything from u, each their own i guess, but I thought it was B.S. I know i'd never do it to someone, hell I could've done it multiple times, but instead i simply say sorry but i already told someone else they could have it but if it falls through i'll let you know, been more than once that i've done this even when I could've made more selling it out from under the first guys feet...

**Kracka** · 03-07-2009

As a word of advice, when I really want a part from someone that I plan to pick-up, I offer to send a deposit via Paypal to hold the part until I arrive with cash.

I totally agree with what you're saying though, in a perfect world everyone would be just like you.

ManiacMotorsports · 03-07-2009

Well I appreciate the compliment, and I'm sorry if I came off snippy at you, this just really pissed me off, I'll be sure to keep the Paypal thing in mind in the future.

**JET** · 03-07-2009

Yep, I do a downpayment on paypal also. I have had too many people say they will pick something up and then never show.

Dundars · 03-08-2009

I'd be pist too, shit happens a grip on this board though.

sleepydsm · 03-08-2009

Buy my 14b lol. It's been for sale for awhile, and no one wants it. So I'm sure by the time you got here it'd still be forsale lol.

How much and what kinda condition? PM sent

**Halon** · 03-08-2009

I've had it happen too many times where I'll hold something for someone who said they are going to come get it, then they disappear. Money talks, promises don't (at least from someone I don't know or never dealt with before). At least he let you know before you made the trip out there. He simply sold it to the person who showed him the money first. Pretty much what I do as well. I just make sure to say in the add that there are NO DIBS, FIRST ONE WITH MONEY GETS IT so there is no confusion.

Buy Sleepy's 14b, he's a known good guy !!

**Goat Blower** · 03-08-2009

Yeah, I agree with a few on here. Unless I know you personally, your word doesn't mean much. I've had lots of people flake on me when they promised to buy something, but I still try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I'm guessing there's a little more to the story though, I'm sure Kevin4G63T will chime in.

95tsi · 03-08-2009

I've had a few things for sale on this board, and most people flake out. I would normally be the type of person to put the item aside and wait for somone to pick it up. After dealing with some on here and wasting 3hrs waiting for them to show up and no show/no call...I've changed my habits. Whomever gets the cash in my hand first gets it, no questions asked.

ManiacMotorsports · 03-10-2009

I'm gonna buy the 14b from sleepydsm problem solved.

"Shit happens a grip on this board" ? It is a board with alot of random people from all over? Do you expect everyone to be just like yourself?

johnson · 03-17-2009

i didnt see anything wrong there? id do the same thing... ive held too many things for "buyers" that flake out... so unless there is a down payment or somethin, first with the cash in my hands, takes!!!

at least he told ya he sold it!

no bad guy here.... yet that is....
