This is another rant about selling stuff via the internet.
For as much as we hear about rip offs and scams, why dont people return emails. This guy contacts me about some gaskets, I quote him the price plus shipping, how I will ship, and ask him to email me if this is acceptable and when he mailed payment so I can watch out for it. Nothing, no return email at all. I have to assume he's not interested, thats fine, its happen before. Five days later the MO shows up in my mail box. I ship the same day, email him a tracking # and insurance #, and ask for him to let me know that all has arrived saftely and that he is satisfied. No response, nothing. Its just plain rude and inconsiderate. As the seller, if my responses were like this guys, people would be callin me all sorts of names. Very few people know about common courtesy anymore. :rant:

I know what you mean. I t takes 2 seconds to return emails. I'm going thru the same thing. Aguy says he wants it and is going to email payment I give him my adress and now I don't hear anything! I think it has to do with people trying to find crap cheaper to save 5 cents. If you were to sell it I bet he would've been pissed!! I hate dealing with dumbass people! :mad:

Its just, I know he recieved it, why not return my email and say all is well, thanks.
I got a long email from one guy, who wanted to thank me for doing business the "right way", because I explained everything upfront, and then followed thru with the transaction as I said I would. It was like he was amazed that someone would actually do as the said they would. That doesnt say much for the rest of the people out there..

Guy sounds like a tool! I tell people I won't hold parts unless a deposit if left. I also won't hold a part for 3 months. I'll tell them they have a certain amount of time to pick up part/car and then their deposit is lost. I'm not a storage facitity! I held a car for almost 2 months and the guy couldn't figure out why he didn't get his money back!! People think it's a game I guess! I've had people who have had people call me for parts because I was up front about the parts and actually contacted when I said was! People are amazed when you take just a little time to call/email them back. :)

You use a lot of fancy foot work like "maybe" and "might". It took you a month to buy that heater, and it wasnt the one you wanted, cause you stalled around too long and I sold it. Twice youve told me youll call me by the weekend, and you havent, so dont act like you treat peole with courtesy. It also has to do with other posts, not just you buying things. Nuff said???

Right, and the "mights" and "maybes" were just that. Either way, I bought the new heater you had, and I paid you what you asked for it. Don't bring your fuckin bullshit here, Mike. As far as the "calling by the weekend" was concerned, I am sure I was busy. Some of us do have lives and familes! I do try treat people with courtesy. If you have something to say to me, say it off the boards. I don't give a fuck if you're a mod or not, don't ever try to slam my character, especially unjustly, on a public message board. Take it to PM. NUFF SAID???

Its a simple statement about courtesy, and its not unjust. Too bad. Take it up with Lisa if you dont like it, or leave. Your rep is what it is, and nothing I say is going to change that, one way or another.

You gonna get mad and threaten to come to my house again. Simple fact is you use the internet to act like a tool. Then when shit doesnt go right, everybody is supposed to leave poor Al alone until things get better. Life dont work that way, bub. Act like an Asshole, get treated like an Asshole. If thats not who you are, the why act that way. Because you need the attention?? Or cause you like to cause trouble?? You like to claim to be perfect, but youre just like everyone else. You make spelling and gramatical errors, you dont show common courtesy too people, you talk down to people. Your shit stinks just like everybody else's, get used to it.

:rofl: I've never said that I was perfect, and I'm well aware of the fact that my shit stinks. Hell, I just took one and it wasn't pretty. When have I ever seriously threatened to come to your house? Don't try to turn this into something it's not...bub. Am I am attention whore? Umm, have you seen my car or my post counts on some boards? Sure, I can be a huge prick, but I'm also the complete opposite when it comes to things that matter.
Either way, this bullshit should have never been brought to the boards. Take it to PM if you have anything else to say to me. :D Have you even seen the rules at the top of this page? I mean....you're a mod...you should know this shit. :rofl:

If its the truth then one shouldn't refer to it as "bashing"...maybe just a heads up to other people that may have dealings with said person/people??

HAHAHAHAHA I left XS a while ago. Too many anti-V8 guys. :lol: That thread with Zeph started with a politely made comment about possibly saving up for a nicer car vs pooring a bunch of mod money into a 6cyl 79 Zephyr. Well, maybe the "ricer" comment was a bit much, but that wasn't directed at him. He took it all wrong. It's not my fault people take shit the wrong way. :D

Thats the problem with the internet, Al. People don't know you so they don't know how to take your comments. Even smileys and haha's and j/k's don't get the point across a lot of times.
You gotta watch what you say and who you say it to. I learned that a long time ago. You'll learn sooner or later. Hopefully for your sake sooner..

I just wanna say that I want this site to go somewhere, theres a million sites out there full of bullshit and trouble. Lets make this one about the cars. Off topic is fine, but lets make it beneficial to the site. Ya know, Ive had a ton of cars over the years, and everyone of them I tried to make better than when it was built, even a Vega Wagon, its what carguys/gals are about. This internet problem of having to be the stand out personality that everyone knows is bullshit. If you need drama, go find a acting forum. You wanna be welcomed, bring something positive to the club.'Nuff said!
