"NO CLASS"
Well I have had a problem with 3 people trying to buy / sell stuff in the F/S section in the last week or so. First off, let me say that I do understand that there is time involved in "contacting and sending pic's and reply's", that we are all busy and have a full plate (most of us anyway) and that along with last minute disasters at work, home, the future Ex to be, our children and the fact that sometimes we just make a mistake, it can create problems. With that being said, folks should also under stand that if you are going to offer to sell or buy items, every effort should be made to "be a stand up guy or gal" and do it right!
If you know that you don't have time, then don't waste ours and don't offer to sell here or during your busy time because you know we all have question or want pic's or both. If your computer challanged and can't post or e-mail pic's, then just say so in your thread. Give a good desc. and a "on a 1 to 10 I rate it a XX" or what ever. If you don't take paypal then say that up front because some of us have been burned so many times we won't send checks or M.O.'s unless we know you personally or your close enough that I can have my brother serve the arrest warrent in person :lol: . If you won't ship via this carrier or that carrier or won't ship at all (pick up only) then let us have that info up front so WE DON"T WASTE YOUR OR OUR TIME! Be up front, then we all know. If you post and then somthing comes up, take a few seconds to let people in your thread know you have a problem or delay and we will understand, I mean after all most of us are not your wife or G/F, no ten mile long explaination required just a quick note to the thread! If you post as a seller or buyer it's the same thing, a little common courtesy not mention if you start acting like a full blown flake before you have our money, what can we expect AFTER you have our money? On second thought, maybe this guy deserves E-Gay?
This guy Mkid has hosed a bunch of us on his bogus F/S thread :bigfinger and man I am pissed because 1. I put off another guy for the same parts at a cheaper price who is not a board member because I want to help out our members first and hope that you would help others (what we should all be doing I think) and 2. I thought being a member for a few years ranked a little trust / respect and mabey a few more bucks due to that, guess not! So now I contact the fella back that I put off and he tells me "sorry man, sold it last night". God damn it! It's a good thing that I am not close to this guy because I feel absolutly MEDIEVAL right now. On top of all this he replies http://www.syty.net/forums/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=182240

After he quotes the price and I accept it and post SOLD in his thread and in a PM to him and QUICKLY. Sorry guys but when it's offered, I ask how much then agree to the price and say sold.... that's a commitment to me or at least the way I was raised anyway. I would feel bound as the seller to sell and bound as the buyer to follow through and buy.
We all want to sell or trade things from time to time and we all want to buy things from time to time but there is a right and a wrong way to do it and this is to me the wrong way for sure. I don't like to see anyone get the short end of the stick but this guy has caught me at a time when I am having trouble with several other purchases / sales, has wasted sevral other good members time including mine AND cost me the chance to get the parts I need. What a F****** Looser :chair: ! It looks like he is checking out and selling out, good thing too because I am tempted to call Dog House vote. In fact I may do it anyway just in case he tries to ever come back. Good luck on E-Gay Mkid, I hope all your buyers treat you like you treated us. What goes around, comes around :2cents: .
Sorry boys, it's hard enough to deal with the trucks due to age, condition, parts availability etc. and then this kind of crap too. I'm just fit to be tied and this jerk just happened to be the one who pulled my pin :1gun: .
Apologies to you fellas, rant concluded.

. I guess there will always be greedy unethical people in the world but folks around here should stand by their word. I do, and I think the majority on here do as well, but there are some scabs that need to fall off and go away.
