Wasnt that you trying to sell the seats for more money then you paid for them? Hmm, thats interesting.
And as for the turbo Gonzz PAID FOR THE REBUILD, not partially but for the full rebuild of the turbo from was it Greddy? Reread the thread. What else was wrong with the kit? Oh and by the way, hows the engine he built for you two years ago? you still doubting if its any good still?

No. Obviously you need to reread the thread. Gonzz sent him the money for a rebuild on the turbo a couple days after the dispute between the two arised. The buyer CHOSE HIMSELF to sell the kit and take the loss. Thats not Gonzz fault he changed his mind and decided to go with a different type of turbo setup for his car.

Frank, with all due respect, I think you do need to go back and read it again. First, if you read that thread, you will see that the negative thread was made a full two months after the transaction began. Buyer states in first post that after he received the parts, he tried for a couple weeks to get in touch with gonzz. All in all, he made several attempts to get this resolved before even posting a thread on here about it, and even had to threaten legal action before anything was done. So, for you to come in here and say that he got a refund after only two days of complaining, well, it is just not the truth.
Second, the "friend" story is just too out there. First, the guy has RX7's, which are a rather expensive hobby, but he has no phone?? How many 7 owners do you know of that can afford to have a 7, and even a T-78 turbo kit, and then the money to have that turbo rebuilt a thousand miles back, but no phone?? Sounds too fishy to me....Then, just when legal action was going to be initiated, suddenly the "friend" is moving in three weeks? Sorry, but in my experience, too many coincidences add up to no coincidence at all. I dont know, gonzz could well have been telling the truth, but you have to admit that it all does sound quite fishy about this "friend". We live in a world where basically anyone can afford even just a cheap prepaid cellphone or something....if you can afford a $4900 turbo kit, how in the world could you not have a phone?
1--buyer tries to call gonzz, no answer.
2--buyer emails gonzz, gonzz says "i'll try to get in touch with my friend"
3--over the next two weeks, buyer repeatedly tries to get some kind of solution from gonzz, but gets nothing but the same excuses.
4--buyer asks for his money back, gonzz says the friend already spent it
5--a couple days later, buyer contacts gonzz. gonzz has a response from "friend", yet didnt bother to call buyer himself? gonzz waits for buyer to contact him?? Anyway, gonzz states that "friend" will only pay for turbo to be rebuilt.
6--gonzz directed buyer to a local shop that will not warranty anything. Buyer does not want this option, and when it comes to a turbo, who would?? Buyer finds that Greddy will rebuild it for a comparable cost to what gonzz is suggesting, but gonzz refuses that. WHY?? For a similar cost, what in the world would the harm be in that? After all, he sold a turbo that he advertised as recently rebuilt by Greddy.......once he finds out that was a lie, shouldnt he at least honor this option because of that? NOPE, not gonzz. This makes no sense whatsoever....and I dont care who you are, when you advertise a greddy rebuilt turbo, you should deliver just that. gonzz had not one but two chances to get that right, and blew both of them...for what?
This guy paid $2575 for a turbo kit that was supposed to be in perfect condition, why would it be too much to ask to send it to Greddy for rebuild at comparable cost to the shop this "friend" will only use? At this point, the "friend" lied and thats the cause of all this, why should the solution be at his own convenience?
There you have it, Frank, this is what really happened. Too many things are really fishy, other things just dont make any sense at all. Sure, gonzz has a lot of good transactions, but the real difference is how a seller or buyer handles it when things go wrong. In that arena, it isnt looking too good.

Are you sure it was two months? Im not saying your wrong or anything. I cant remember that far back though and I couldnt find the FS thread where he had the turbo kit for sale. I know I was going to buy that turbo kit and it was from a friend of Gonzz. He was tryin to sell it for him for the reason stated. Here In Vegas Gonzz is the go to guy for our rotaries. You want something, he'll get it. You need work done, he'll do it. Anyone here in Vegas will defintly trust him with there cars and there money.

Some of us have jobs and can't reply to a thread in 5 minutes...
!!!!!!! First of all tell the entire ******* story .. not the bits and pieces you want to...
1. The price was 150.00 shipped. Read the for sale thread.
2. You sent me a PM for me to call you to discuss the sale.
3. You told me on the phone you was broke and could only afford 140.00 shipped
4. I told you that the price was 150 shipped firm.
5. The box was packed correctly and don't start lying about that. I have shipped over 1000 items and buy all my packing materials in bulk..
6. I told you about insurance on the telephone and you didn't want to pay.. Was being cheap..
7. That was your option.. Don't come and blame me..
8. You also told me on the phone your front end was wrecked.
9. A few days later I see this thread...
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=678944
10. Are you trying to scam me? My assemblies are painted this house of colors blue. Look at pics of my 20B engine bay...The pics you sent me are all black assemblies? What is going on?

he offered 140 SHIPPED for a pair of headlight assemblies, with no plastic covers.
HE didn't say or bring up insurance. regardless, the assemblies were in loosely packed in 2 carton boxes cut joined together with tape, barely 1/4 full of peanut foam, WITH NO BUBBLE WRAP OR PAPER of ANY SORT AT ALL.
the foam obviously settled at the bottom, and 1 of the plastic mounts on the light broke off.
1. i was reasonable, and offered him to give me some sort of discount on OTHER parts i might need, or a fraction of a refund back.
INSTEAD he said that insurance shoulda been my own responsibility, as i didn't want to pay another 5-10$ for it.
first off, he's the seller. if he offered SHIPPED, i would presume he included insurance. 2ndly, all the items needed was better packaging, and the mounts would have been safe. BUBBLE wrap was all that was needed IMHO. IF PACKAGING WAS IMPROVED, with basic bubble wrap, or even newspaper or ANY kind of paper to help cushion, this would not have happened.
what pisses me off is the way he rebuked me after he asked for pictures of the broken mounts, and just said it was all my fault, even though i offered a compromise of some sort. and seriously, insurance wouldn't have been a problem, as ALL IT NEEDED WAS PACKAGING IMPROVEMENTS.

I can sit here and talk **** about anyone and someone will agree with me. It's a fact about internet foums.. Everyone has a opinion... And that's cool. Just don't go to far...

Edit: well, this thread just got more interesting. I can tell you that I have sold many parts to the thread starter (timothyandygoh) and I've had zero issue with any of the transactions. I can also tell you that if you had a spotless reputation you'd have been given the benefit of the doubt by a lot of the people on here, but that's not the case.

You think i really care that you have sold the loser 1 million items.. What do that have to do with me? That's your issue not mine.. with 16k + posts and you say you don't live on here.. That's funny..
Right, and I have two jobs.....one a 'regular' nine to five, and another running a rotary specialty shop. The majority of my posts are informational and contribute to the rotary community. I've sold a shitload of ceramic coated and polished parts on this forum, not to mention numerous used parts off my own FD, and have never had an issue. I pack the parts well, and ship promptly. It isn't rocket science. Hell, I also build and port motors and offer a warranty, again zero problems. But this thread isnt about me, is it?
