Wow, I have never had to do this...I really dont know how to explain it...so here it goes...
it will probably be long, if you care you will read it. it not, i dont care, this is calling out 1 person who wont respond to my pm's, and give me a bunk phone number, and who stood me up after i drove 3 hours to meet him


Remeber this thread in the classifides...

Well, I talked to Chris. He said that he really wanted to sell the B17 swap, told me to make him an offer. I Lowballed him $200, he said sold, when do you want to meet. So we arranged to meet on this comming Saturday. On monday (the 13th) Chris PM'd me and asked me if I wanted to meet him half way earlier, because he was gonna help his friend move on Saturday.I didnt have a problem with that, so I asked him if the Mytrle Beach Bass Pro Shop would be ok to meet at. (it was about a 3 hour drive for both of us) He agreed that it would be perfect.
We agreed that we would meet between 7 and 730pm in the parking lot, out in front, where there were no other cars, under a light.I told him I would be in a '94 Red Isuzu trooper with Indiana tags on it. Alright, cool he says. So Wensday the 16th between 7 and 730 was the time frame we would meet.

Also, might I add, I asked for a picture of what I was getting, no picture. I asked him if I could call him, he give me 2 bogus phone numbers. I give him my work and my home phone numbers, my cell number, and my email address. We arranged everything through yahoo instant messenger, I felt no need to call him.(I didnt know the numbers were bogus at this time) He sounded like an honest man through yahoo IM, so I was comfortable. On tuesday I asked him again for pictures, and he said he had to load them to his computer, no problem, I would wait. Then it came to about 1100pm still no pictures, and I had to get up early in the morning, so I told him to email them to me. I never saw any pictures.

I pm'd a few people to get opinions on if the deal sounded good. A full B17 swap for $200 and an extra block, and crank.(which he said he was going to throw in) Chris give me 2 bogus numbers, i was feeling a little shakey about the deal at this point...peoples responses were they would go and they wouldnt go. Being the honest person I am, I went down there, (3 hour drive in my wifes vehicle) to meet. he never showed. I never recieved an email, no phone call, nothing. I have anwsering machines on all of the phones I have...

Chris, im not MAD yet. I am a very patient person, I am a little upset and annoyed I drove 3 hours for nothing, however....
Chris, things come up, I understand that, if something did come up, why couldn't you take 5 min and call me or at least, email me or PM me. I give you all of these ways to get in contact with me. Maybe you have a good excuse?

I was there, where were you?

also, i got there about 630, a little early, so I thought i would head inside and take a look around (half the reason i wanted to meet there) I was there when I said i would be. I stayed there till 830.

whats up chris. like i said, i would like to hear you out before i get mad. maybe you have a legit excuse?

SkunT

one more thing i forgot to add...i was gonna wait to see if you would contact me, i thought I would be fare, but you had ways to contact me all through-out the day, my wife was home with the phone all day (she was waiting on another call) and i was with my cell phone all day long. i also checked my email all throughout the day. no emails, so i thought, i would post, considering you still dont have the decentsey(sp) to call me...
you can still call me if you would like, collect if you need to, then i will call you back...

my number is above in the conversation that was auto-archived in yahoo IM. if its not there, its in the email i sent you and if you deleted that, its in the PM's I sent you. if you deleted those to, they are above...

im vouching that he WAS hesitant and was trying to get ahold of the mods all night the day before he had to meet him, and was pretty pissed that he never responded, yah, i understad too that hes moving, but still, i thought you took cars when you move, so obviously you have down time when your in a car, couldnt you call

lcplvest (6:50:22 PM): ok, well im suspssed to get this b17 tommorow...hes giving me a full B17 swap, an extra block, with internals, and an extra B17 crank for $200. im suspossed to meet this guy about 3 hours from where i live...

lcplvest (6:52:22 PM): he is very hesitant, never returns my pm's the first time i accually talked to him was last night over this, and he says he will meet me there tommorow at 7. but then i told him to send me pictures, he hasnt, i told him to call me and he says he cant call long distance on his phone, i told him to call collect and he says hes at his girls house, so he give me his cell number, i call it tonite, and its a jack phone number...

lcplvest (6:53:05 PM): now he says hes in the process of moving, so hes kinda busy alot, so he says. think i should make the trip down there?

Ravage70

this isone of the reasons u dont go b series

if u didnt pay him and he never comes back here then i dont think there is much u can do

and he sounds very iffy if hes gonna make it or not when u read what he wrote

i think u made a mistake dealing with a noob fucknut

Guy-Fast

Cant trust people named Chris

SkunT

if he doesnt come back, it will save others the headache, and the guy sounded legit over the internet. i guess i learned my lesson.

BTW, im a "newbie" on honda-tech but would i be considered a newbie here.
get my point. sometimes you cant judge people by there post numbers.
