Because the offers were too low. I was using that to illustrate the point that if I had been scamming him like he was afraid of, I could've taken his money plus the local offer as well. I admit this has taken way too long to complete, but he will receive the item he paid for.

If by "done deal" you mean it's on the way, no, not until a new label gets printed and added to the engine. That's why I mentioned Greg going up there for me, as he lives down the road from the warehouse where it's located while I live in the next city over.

Apparently it has been fairly hard. As Greg pointed out, I don't exactly have a use for this core anymore and I have fairly limited means at the moment. I've been given offers for it locally, so if I had wanted to, I could've sold it to someone else and told you to kick rocks. So me scamming you is obviously not the case. Furthermore, I have made great efforts to try and get this to you, even to go as far as carting this thing around to different locations in the attempt of getting it picked up. Right now, as I type this, it is sitting in a warehouse so that a freight carrier can come pick it up. You said, "just let me know when you have some firm info." I assumed that meant let me know when you have a tracking # or when you're going to refund me. Since neither have happened, I have not updated you. Provided Greg can print out a label for it and take it to the warehouse for me, it will be picked up this week and then I'll update you through PM.
The simple fact that you have not communicated with me in nearly 3 weeks is completely unprofessional though. How would you react if a seller ignored you for this long?? Me saying "Just let me know when you have some firm info" should not give you the right to ignore me. Seems like the only time you respond is when THIS thread is open and there is a chance the rest of the forum might see whats going on.
Not trying to instigate, just trying to let you see it from my side.
Hopefully this will get worked out soon so we can put this issue to bed.

I also don't understand why you continue to talk down to the buyer. 
He mentioned awhileeeee back that he would accept a refund. You flat-out refused him and he still doesn't have an engine. At this point, it doesn't matter what type of efforts your making, you and the buyer need to reach a resolution. I'm not trying to bash you because it's not even necessary, you're starting to look bad enough on your own.
What I find to be the most *interesting* part of this whole ordeal is that the original buyer is also complaining about your lack of updates or even communication. I guess I'm not the only one who has issues with how you conduct yourself and your business...

what is the PRESENT condition of this motor? You advertised it to me as a running core with some issues that still makes boost.
Is this gonna be an issue if/when i get it? If so then I am kindly DEMANDING a refund before you waste any more time shipping it.
I don't want a $450 paperweight.

In my very first PM to you that was titled "Blown Short Block" I sent you the following.
Hey, saw you were looking for a blown short block. I've got one that would be good for a rebuild. Never had it compression tested, but it still drove and actually made boost before we pulled it out. Let me know if you're interested.

In the FS thread you put that in, you described it like this:
https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...96&postcount=1
In either case, I dont think he was referring to the condition as far as expecting it to be a good running motor--you clearly advertised it as otherwise. I think he was more looking at the fact that you advertised this motor for sale last August, and ever since you yanked it for your V8 swap, this one has been sitting. It was good for a rebuild back then, but will it still be good for a rebuild now? How has it been stored/protected since you removed it?
I know that happened to me before, bought a motor that turned out to be full of pebbles and what-not...

Blown Shortblock: Reduced $500 $650 Core charges are about $1000 everywhere, so I figure this isn't too bad of a deal. The engine still runs pretty well, doesn't stall itself out, and from when I was coming home it still makes plenty of boost. It does idle strangely, has a hard time starting, and the vacuum reading on it is low (70-80 on the profec). Anybody looking to pick this up gets priority. I have no idea what shipping would be, so I'll figure that out later on if necessary.

I know, but that info was when you first pulled it. Just confirming it is in the same shape it was when you advertised it, so we don't have another issue.

Considering Greg is just now able to print out the Bill of Lading, what exactly would you like to be informed of? That Greg's office has been in shambles? That the engine is still sitting at the warehouse because a BoL couldn't be printed out? I seem to remember going over this same information with you two days ago and you saying you'd wait patiently. Well nothing has changed since then other than Greg can now take the BoL up to the warehouse tomorrow. If, for some reason that I can't fathom, you're still worried about being ripped off, I can even PM you the web address to the BoL. Otherwise, no, I'm not going to continue to answer the same questions over and over again with the same information.

I have heard the never ending "tomorrow" for weeks now. Why am I supposed to just sit back and believe you now?
BTW, I am being patient. Impatient would be flaming you in every thread and calling you daily.
You have yet to answer Doc's questions........
And you have yet to state why it is you refuse to give me a refund, which is the easiest option for everyone.
How long before a BOL turns into a valid tracking number??

Any chance you could refund the buyer and sell me the block? I might even be able to come pick it up. That way you can refund his money and be gauranteed to have it sold and I will deal with getting it shipped? Let me know, maybe it could fix the situation for everyone.

I did not send money to Greg. I don't know who Greg is. So his office being in shambles should have nothing to do with me getting a motor.
If you don't want to pay attention to anything else going on in this thread, that's fine, but I'm not going to spell it out for you.

You're right, I'm just stalling. Especially since paypal has now withdrawn the original payment.
BTW, I am being patient. Impatient would be flaming you in every thread and calling you daily. I'm fairly sure that's stepping a bit beyond impatient, but it still won't get the engine there any faster.

That's because it's really filled with dirt and sand and I'm just trying to hide it. You see, we soaked it in salt water the whole time you've been waiting and have just now gotten done filling it with sand. That's really why it's taken so long. That's also why DHL wouldn't take it the first time, all that extra sand made it heavier than what we expected.
And you have yet to state why it is you refuse to give me a refund, which is the easiest option for everyone.
If you had wanted a refund, you should've asked for one before creating this thread. And I don't mean something like, "Oh hey, well you can refund me if you want, or if you think you can ship it, that's fine too." You can't say something like that and then turn around and say, "He won't give me a refund, I've asked him 5 times, I think he's scamming me." And as far as the easiest option, that would've been allowing me to break it down into two smaller packages and shipping it to you that way.

I assume when they come and pick it up, it'll be assigned a tracking #.

So guess what, you're getting your god damn block, whether you want it or not.
Fast forward, and now, not only did you refuse a refund after keeping him waiting for a month....you have kept him waiting an additional three weeks, and STILL it hasnt been shipped, and STILL he's saying "just refund my money" and STILL the only three things we see from you are excuses about Greg, more sarcasm, and refusing to refund his money! How in the world can you think youre being reasonable at that point? You were told on 2/3 about three companies that would come to you, even at a residence. SO WHY IS THIS MOTOR STILL SITTING IN THE WAREHOUSE? Because you havent cared enough about this issue to take care of it a better way, thats why.
That alone is justification for him demanding a refund. You owe him that, considering how long its been and how there's still no definite end in sight!
Do you want to know why he thinks youre scamming him? Because three weeks ago, other members gave you all the answers you needed to solve this one quick, with the least amount of effort or invonvenience to you, Greg, and everyone else. And you STILL couldnt be bothered to handle it! If it were me, I would have already had the cops on your doorstep, and I would have pressed charges for grand larceny if you werent willing to refund my money then and there.
I assume when they come and pick it up, it'll be assigned a tracking #.
Look, I gave you the respect of approaching you privately about this. And this is what you do with that, you bring nothing but sarcasm. You need to pony up and refund his money, thats what he demanded. If you had already shipped it thats one thing, but its still sitting out there in a warehouse. Send him his money back and be done with this mess.
