You sure about this.. I remember reading a thread that someone was complaing about some work or tuning either from you or you buddies..

[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?

Rich, you know what you can do.. Call your "partner" Steve @ Gotham and ask him about what kinda person I am.. Since you are so curious about where I am and what's my real name...You might be suprised.. He's been to my house..

I'm pretty sure we've all seen what sort of person you are.

i jumped on UR SET of assemblies, coz i thought they were cheap.

regarding the $140 issue, that was ME bargaining, and U giving in. and AT NO POINT did u BRing UP INSURANCE.

read my OUR history threads, u said that i didn't ask for INSURANCE, and now u say i said i didn't want to pay for insurance over the phone.

I jumped on the assemblies because i thought they were cheap.

my assemblies were working fine, its the chasis of my car after my fender bender, that makes my popups' look lower due to shift in chassis.

i was anal about it, and when i saw "CHEAP" assemblies for sale, i jumped on them. why would i lie about what u shipped, coz it was IMMEDIATELY from the box?

seriously, i can take pictures and post up both, of my assemblies on my car, and UR assemblies which had broken mounts.

as everyone said, the point isn't about insurance. ITS ABOUT THE PACKAGING?!? it only NEEDED PAPER to PREVENT DAMAGE.

u did a terrible job in packaging, and i even had history stating EXACTLY how i was being reasonable in compromising. BUT U JUST IGNORED ME?

2ndly, im selling MY OWN WORKING assembllies, coz i think i'd rather go non-popups due to all this bullshit that's happening.

thatS WHY im CONSIDERING SELLING my OWN set.

i SENT u PICTURES, but u ignored me. and ur reply to me back on history in black and white, for everyone to see and read? how is that being stand up with UR reaction, with me being reasonable for ANY KIND OF COMPROMISE?

look at the dates of the up for sale on my assemblies, and the posts of our threads?

i got ur assemblies a couple weeks ago.

if i were reasonable, to compromise ANYTHING whatsoever, and even gave u pictures, which u OBVIOUSLY IGNORED after i showed u evidence of the broken mounts, who's the one that's looking bad now?

why would i show u pics of mounts, and go a huge circle to "CON" u of ur money, if u sent me headlight assemblies like u said, BLUE ONES? WHAT BLUE ONES? i HAD ONLY ASSEMBLYS, WITH NO PLASTICS OF ANY SORT ONLY THE ASSEMBLYS.

U DOn't EVEN REMEMBER WHAT U SENT ME =.= and ur picking a fight with me.

OH SO U DO PAINT JOBS on UR METALIC ASSEMBLYS WHEN U PAINT UR CAR NOW?

so that the assembly's work better with the paint cranking up and down? =.='

like i said, i had a minor fender bender, and the pop ups look alittle lower than they are suppoused to be. im just anal about it, and hopped on the cheap sale asap.

just goign thru past history of words, u already contradicted urself 2 times at least. first regarding insurance, and 2ndly regarding the assemblies which u sold me in the first place. YOU DOn't EVEN REMEMBER THAT U SOLD ME THE ASSEMBLIES WITHOUT COVERS!!!

i mean seriously, my whole fighting point is the packaging. coz insurance is ur word against my word.

u can't deny that the packaging was a crappy job right?

even in ur history. u didn't believe that METAL ASSEMBLIES would BREAK. but once i sent u pictures, WHICH U ASKED, AND I DELIVERED, u just cut me off and ignored me, even though i tried to come to a reasonable compromise.

that being said, HOW IS THAT evidence of someone trying to con u of MONEY? = /

its just sad when ur over 30, and acting so childish about ur own irresponsibilities, and changing the story to cover ur own ass.

Right! You can "see" a person thru your computer screen huh? I guess I need one of your monitors.

You dont exactly have the best reputation on the board either. Ive read on a few GGBG threads about people complaining on you because your always sticking up for "scammers". Would I be correct to assume your just like the "scammers" you stick up for?

Like I said, theres more then enough people in Vegas that trust Gonzz with parts and money 100%. THAT shows what kind of person he is.

Well I'm currently using my new Dell laptop which does have a pretty nice screen on it, they've got coupons for them if you want to pick one up. As far as reputations go, mine's spotless until str8ryd posts about his horrible experience with me here in the next couple of days, so you'll have to wait until then if you want to pull that card. What I was specifically referring to, and not that you could infer that from what I posted, but if you'd like to know what I think, his attitude is pretty crappy. Things normally degrade into childish remarks after the 2nd or 3rd page. Case in point, his second post in this thread was to childishly start the name calling.

my fd's VR fyi

yeah, trusting, when they're seeing and paying parts face to face is one.

him screwing up, about packaging, and messing my shipment over, AND pushing the blame back to me is another?

why doesn't he go back to the part about his packaging??

thats the CRUCIAL problem right here.

i mean, if u read and examine the evidence i have, its pretty obvious its the packaging at fault. so how isn't that his fault? he's just not being responsible and standing up for his mistake.

why would the problem be insurance, if PACKAGING was at fault? even if i bought insurance, WHICH I ASSUMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE, that would still not change the fact that the part was damaged, broken, DUE TO PACKAGING!!!!

get back to the main thing now plz frank. he's just denying that its his fault due to insurance. IM SAYING ITS THE PACKAGING!!!!!!!!!!

WOULD U want ur part SHIPped. a FULLY METALIC WHATEVER, with oNLY FOAM 1/4 full in an oversized box, with NO PAPER OR BUBBLE WRAP? CAN U even IMAGINE how taht sounds in the first place?

just think, buying a TURBO, engine, tranny WHATEVER, jsut shipped liek that. FULLY METALIC. WOULDN't THAT PART BE OWNED???

:icon_no2: I'll get on top of that in the next few days. And I wouldn't go as far as to say it's been "spotless". I've spoken to a few well respected forum members and they seem to have the same sentiments towards you that I now do.

Yup, Ihor and I performed a lot of work on an FD and when it left it had some minor driveability problems due to needing a tune. We know our capabilities and don't tune, and I told the customer he needed to go to a known rotary tuner as soon as possible.

A short amount of time passed and the customer wasnt convinced that the problem was due to tuning. Being a man who owns up to his responsibilities, I spent a sunday out on LI wrenching on his car and verifying that it was indeed a tuning issue, when I could have been spending time with my family.

Again, this thread is about you.

If you packed the parts poorly, and they got damaged in shipping, why not work out a compromise with the buyer? Whatever happened to customer service? Contrary to what you might think, I'm not here to bust your balls.......but this whole situation isn't right.

Look, moron, lets get one thing straight right now.

Look at my post. I posted FACTS from the threads involved. RELEVANT information. From both sides. And your response? BULLSHIT, nothing but insults and talking out your ass. I can play that game too, but unlike you, I am interested in the outcome of all this. I dont give a shit what you think about me, the facts are plain as day. What--you have no answer for what I said, so the best you can do is to try to insult me instead?? Youre pathetic.

What kind of car I drive?? How the hell is THAT relevant to anything in this thread, jackass? FYI, dumbass, I have had a 7 for the last five years, not that it changes anything about your behavior in this transaction, now does it? HERE'S THE DEAL, BONEHEAD--you would be smart to pay attention--I dont give a shit how many good transactions you have, the fact is that we are starting to see some bad ones pop up now. And when you start getting too big with yourself to continue handling your shit properly, WE ALL deserve to know about it. I buy parts in here too, chump, so your behavior is 100% relevant to ALL OF US who do so.

Dont like it?? Dont sell parts here. We have the right to know, as a community that buys parts from each other, how you conduct business. INSTEAD, you act like a fucking crybaby, demanding pics of what I drive and throwing insults??? This section serves the purpose of educating other members about transactions so that we all can protect ourselves and each other from less than honest sellers and buyers. It does NOT exist for you to run around with your pecker in your hand thinking youre the man and dodging the relevant points presented to you....just so you can demand that I post a pic to prove I own a 7, dipshit.

You wanna insult?? you cant hang with me. BUT--you wanna handle your shit like a man?? Thats what this is all about! Clearly, youre more interested in watching your e-weenie grow than you are about simply stating the facts like a mature adult. Either grow the hell up or piss off. I dont give a shit that you didnt like my post--it was at least truthful, unlike you. What did I make up?? The timeline? The fact that it took two months for him to post a thread? The condition of the turbo? How about how you required him to use that one shop?? DISCUSS THE ISSUE AT HAND, you retard, instead of making yoor enitre post nothing but a personal attack against me.

yes, I am sure. Here is a timeline--

1/2/07--gonzz posts in the thread that the turbo kit is sold....here is that thread:

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=609716

2/3/07--toms93fd posts that negative thread about the turbo kit sale.....here is that post:

https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...22&postcount=1

Look at the dates. That's two months. Look at the info tom posted about having the turbo rebuilt. There is no reason whatsoever that the remedy to this issue should be done at the convenience of the person who initially lied and caused this sale to go bad. That turbo should have been sent to greddy to be rebuilt without any kind of argument. But they wanted to pick a shop and mandate that tom send it there, with no warranty? sorry, thats crap. Especially when greddy's price was comparable to theirs....

Timothy, do you have pictures of the package as it arrived? I think some evidence is in order.

by the way, why arent you telling all the people who support you about your other pathetic bullshit lately? Why arent you telling them how you divebomb threads now, where I post, where you are not anywhere even involved...just to post a personal attack about me? GROW THE FUCK UP, douchebag....

And while youre at it, you can explain this:

Right there, you say "you leave it up to the buyer to ask about it". BUT--you also claimed this, in the same transaction:

nice lie you got there....so, which is it? you "leave it up to the buyer to ask about insurance"....or you "asked him about insurance and he declined...."???? they both cannot be true, pal. face facts--if you really did ask him about it on the phone before the sale, you would not have said that to him when he told you he had a broken part--you would have said "hey, I offered you insurance and you chose not to take it..."

and you KNOW IT too....

Now look--everyone that supports you, thats fine. but they need to take a good honest look at that information themselves and be honest about what it shows. good reputation or not, you LIED to this guy, and you just lied to all of us in the process about your actions. It is time for you to grow up, put aside the posts with nothing but personal attacks, and handle your issue like the good seller you keep saying you are!

Just my 2 cents. If you get a package and its contents have been improperly packed, then stop everything you are doing and get a camera. Take pictures of it on your front doorstep. hell, these days I'd do that (with timestamps) for every package I got from someone on this forum from the time it showed up, showing opening the package, and then the contents.
I bought a desk from Staples online (a cheap "assembly required" piece) and when it showed up I had to grab my camera. The box was in such bad shape that pieces were falling out onto my doorstep. I had to file a claim with Staples, and they weren't really willing to help out until I sent them the pictures:

AGAIN, THESE ARE NOT RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL TOPIC

I am just illustrating that having a camera handy when a package arrives can be a lifesaver. I got a brand new desk out of the deal, when I probably wouldn't have gotten anything without the proof of damage.

Yep. I always take pictures of the packages as they arrive. It's a cheap investment in security.

Please do.

*edit*
Having a camera around when opening a package is always a good idea.

And I wouldn't call your transaction horrible either. I've also spoken to some well respected forum members and they seem to think the same way I do. Sooo... get on that negative feedback chief, roast me alive for the shipping mistake that UPS made. :icon_tup:

I tend to notice a lot of people calling others out to make negative feedback threads about them... whats up with this?!

so people know how these people do business. so they know to deal with them at their own risk

I think he means, like me telling str8ryd to go ahead and post his negative feedback. In my case, I honestly don't care because it's ridiculous, so he can go ahead and post whatever he feels he needs to.
