You have issues, son. Big ones. And this aint the way to go about selling things here.
just dont add up.
Now THAT "just dont add up".....
Regarding the text messages, i would post them all but why would i post pointless information, that has nothing to do with this case, and is us arguing about whos meeting who were and a bunch of swearing.
If you want a refund, i will gladly give you one if i could get the engine that i sold you back the same way i sold it to you, without getting "jumped" by you and " 4 other dudes" like you insisted.
In other words, stop selectively posting details about that conversation just to try to paint yourself in a more favorable light. Trust me, it isnt working.

sorry for jumping back to the 2nd page of the conversation but why would i give you the engine back for a refund so you can do the same to another kid as you did to me? i dont trust you at all with the exchange either you live in the farm land where there are guns and stuff im on probation where if i have a gun i get arrested.
the jump back was because i thought what would he do if he got it back. i dont want anyone to fall into the same hole i did

Really? Wow... As soon as you started bashing i flipped out. Why would i ever tell anyone im going to kick there a$$ for basically no reason? just dont add up.

my mom told me to get a partial refund she said half the cost of the engine and half the cost of the trip to get it. the trip up and back was $150 in gas. and he was selling a short block for $500 right? so $75 for the trip and $250 for the engine? thats $325
is that fair?
is that fair?

you really should have unwrapped the engine and asked for some sort of visual or test of the engine. once it left his hands he had no way of knowing what happened to the engine from there. i am in no way trying to defend him or his actions but if you look at things from his side of the fence you can understand that people do shady things sometimes.
truth is the motor could have popped right before he pulled it, but he still should have done a final compression test after one of his famous burnouts or drift sesh's.
hopefully you both can come to some middle area, the engine is definitely not worth that price and the core short block is worth at most $200-300 if the spare rotor and housing are mint.
i will tell you point blank my claim rule, if you take an engine and tear it down you own it. unless he marked the engine parts there is little way to discern what parts came from the original engine. showing pictures of a blown motor doesn't mean it was even the original engine you received.

Bang on.
I've been around longer on this forum than many of you guys, what ever happened to buyer beware? You don't test, it's your own fault - You don't know the seller from Joe Regular on the street, even if they sound like good people.

No disrespect meant to anyone, just a statement of fact.

well there has definitely been a trend in recent years for "sellers" to rip people off, but the saying still applies and is more true than ever. try to do business face to face when possible, if it's not possible then do background research before sending ANYONE your money. if you can't find any history then the red flag has been raised.
threats don't really mean anything to the scam artists, they will simply make a new identity and circumvent blocks to websites. you as the buyer have to cover your *** first and foremost going forward. sometimes those people ignorantly used their own identity and then disappeared after taking large chunks of money, those people are much easier to find, so try to verify identity also before handing over any money whatsoever.
of course anyone can use anyone's name, so just getting a name doesn't mean much either. history and post count usually does, unless an account has been compromised.
and use a credit card when possible, it is much easier to track where that money has gone and conversely to recoup it from credit card insurers. on the other end i do accept personal checks but i hold them until they have cleared before handing anything over. CYA(cover your ***).
