Thread: Don't you just hate it when.......

    Default Don't you just hate it when.......

    ....someone offers to buy some parts and you take the time, in the hot sweltering Texas heat, to remove it/them from a parts car, or dismounting tires, then you carry it/them around for days in your trunk, seats, or floor board, never hearing from said "buyer" again, even after several PM's or e-mails to that "buyer"?

    Yes it happens..... not once, not twice, but FIVE times in the last couple of years. Now I know that sometimes there are extenuating circumsisions, or maybe the "buyer" got a better deal, but wouldn't it be nice if said "buyer" would have the courtesy to at least let the seller know?

    Well if you going to trim on someone doodle as part of your sick and twisted parts deals I think I understand the five times!

    That's why I get paid before doing a lot of work. PayPal helps with that.

    It's either that or I get paid before returning their stuff after working on it.

    Maybe you should get cash up front?

    Both times I bought stuff from you we met w/out any issues. Thanks Merv!

    To thread drift properly. What did you really think of your MS Protege? Good daily driver, worth it to have the turbo, or would a regular protege (5) be almost as good?

    Merv has always been a good guy to buy parts from. No issues here.

    I'd be interested in a 3rd gear syncro, but I would want to see it to inspect the condition of it before I commit. Can you meet me in McKinney for the inspection?
