Note to fellow members:

I bought, well payed for at least, a trunk lid/gas door from ///M-power3\\\ a month ago. I sent him $200, in the form of a cashiers check, on the 14th of December. According to him, the check arrived onthe 17th. I have had sporadic contact with him over the last month or so, but still no parts. My last PM from him was last Monday, saying he made a mistake and he would make it worth my while.. I told him to throw in a set of kidneys and it was all good. Since then... nothing. I'm not trying to whine, I have been extremely patient through this but I think now is the time for it to stop. If anyone knows ///M-power3\\\ personally or knows of some way to contact him I would appreciate it.

FWIW, according to his profile, his last activity was Tuesday the 16th, 6:10 PM EST. So, he hasn't been around here since the day after he pm'ed you, unless he was 'guesting it'.

Storm/snow could have gotten him. Just wait a little longer. Sorry

I bought some lights that ended up being pitted pretty badly when I got them. So Jeff agreed to refund some of the money which I thought was a very nice gesture. However, that was a couple of weeks ago. As of yet, I haven't seen the refund. I'm trying to remain positive in hopes that he's just busy. He seems to be very sporadic in communications. Guess I'll have to wait and see.

Grace and peace,

Yeah he seems like a good guy, and I respect the fact that he's gone through a lot lately. But the lack of communication is what made me post this.. if I had been in contact with him regularly throughout this we wouldn't have a problem.

I'm on the list too, but will remain optimistically patient. He's been through some hard times.

Been waiting since before christmas! Trying to be very patient. He seems like a reputable seller on here. heard from him last monday. Said pickup was sched. for tues. and would immediately follow with tracking number. nothing since then. I know he has had a lot to deal with but I'm starting to wonder why I defend him when people ask: Damn wheres your tranny you got screwed!

Although I can understand your anger.
Don't get me wrong but that is my idea.

Now what? nothing but voicemail now. Is it time to round up the posse?

jbraswell
02-09-2007, 04:45 PM
Its probably time to compile a list of everyone who is owed money, and call the cops. I've resolved a situation similar to this in the past with the police, and I hate to do it now, but it seems it is the only option. Whoever is owed money, can either post here or PM me and then we will go from there.

This sucks when regular member hit hard times and done send the stuff they were paid for, I was ganked out of a 3500.00 transmission which led to the demise of the thrill of the racecar.

The only thing I could recommend is paypal with a credit card in case you have problems. Certified check is good too but dont let a month pass before you do recourse. I myself got screwesd a while back on here, now I will only deal with members without problems and have been her at least a year active. The ones that disappear and come back seem to be trouble.

People who know me know that I don't like to make statements against others, let alone in public....but. Think about the facts --

The guy registered in november, then started listing a lot of stuff for sale, then people send him money -- BIG money based on words, a whole bunch of stuff happens to him, and he disappears.

Jeff -- regular member? The guy has no reputation to protect. So it really comes down to whether he's honest.

I feel badly for all of you who've sent money and not gotten anything, but the reality is that it was pretty clear by the end of December that something was wrong. At that point, I would've been doing what could be done to get the money back.

One good reason, as Jeff says, to always buy from people who are known and loved -- Bret Luter, Winfred.

jbraswell
02-12-2007, 08:20 PM
Alright, well I talked to Jeff's friend Chris today and from the sounds of it, we will all be getting refunded. Those who are owed money, PM me and I will give you the proper info.
