Beware

[DavidGardner]

I advertised and sold a TST #6 plate in the TDR want adds. A person named Robert Ramsey (trades2much) from Albany Ore. contacted me and wanted to buy it. I sent him the plate with all the directions and bost elbow. I told him he didnt have to send a check until he received the stuff. I added "if you cant trust a TDR member then who can you trust". He e-mailed me back and said he received the parts and all looked good and the check was in the mail. (where have I heard that before). Long story short it has been over a month and still no money. He sent another email saying he sent it accidently to another person and would get it right out. 2 weeks later still no check. I now have this sudden urge to have a cigarette because I think I just got screwed. Live and learn. To bad everyone is not as honest as the rest of us.



Beware do not do bussiness with this person.

It's really sad isn't it.

I made the same mistake with a member at a dyno meet in Illinois 2 years ago. I actually met him and told him to just send me the check when he had the funds available. It was for a set of guages that we both knew he needed since he had a 24 valve and a chip on the truck. I did second guess my judement of members last fall and sent a intake elbow to a guy in CA who actually was a man of his word. Kudos to the guy in CA, but the guy in IL better hope I dont run across him in Dixon on one of my many travels through or he will be shy one window and a set of guages with a pillar pod! I have no remorse for thieves and liars!

I have sold items twice to fellow TDR members once I sold my 10 lug 22. 5" wheels & tires and another time a brand new Walbro pump that I did not use and have had great experiences both times and got to talk to some great fellow TDR members.

Sorry to here you had a bad experience but I would not hold that against everyone else, it just shows you were the better person by trusting him and I believe good things return to good people.

Thanks for the heads up. I've sold a few things in the classifieds and I've had nothing but good experiences with TDR members. I guess this proves there's always a bad apple in the bunch.

Im not sure he is a member. I asumed he was a member because he responded to the add I posted in the TDR website. His handle (trades2much) sure sounds familiar though. Anyway its not the money that bothers me it is the principle of the whole thing. I sold a set of stock mirrors a few years back to a member on the east coast and all worked well.



I will continue to trust TDR members as I have in the past. I e-mailed him and told him "what goes around comes aroiund" Maybe some day some one will treat him the same way.

There's a "trades2much" on DTR but it shows he hasn't been on since October '06.

David I feel for you since I know the your style. I have only been burnt a couple of times from dellow tdr members.



I hold their feet to the flame still in hopes they make it right.



Theives suck! period #@$%! but to be burnt by a fellow member is unexcusable but I doubt trades was a member.

 

[AMink]

No trades2much on the TDR membe list. This kind of thing really stinks. Don't worry, karma will get him.

So far I have had excellent luck both buying and selling things on TDR.

I was burnt 1 time on the LOSTKJ"S Jeep Liberty forum by a guy from Canada. I "Donated"#@$%! a roof rack to him. I was out about $150 for that.
