    I've bought a couple things from Bill with no problems. Also a couple from Greg-I had a small issue on one and he went a bit off the deep end over it=I just chalked it up to a 'difficult' personality. He is a parts flipper/ebay sniper and appears to me to be all about $-not the cars..

    I don't know this NEW1966 guy but I have had dealings with Bill and always exceeded expectations. Like someone else mentioned, I specifically surf looking for Bill's stuff because it is always better than advertised. I will definitely steer clear of NEW1966. Topcat is Topshelf!:TU:

    Bought some things recently from Bill, had a problem with one of the items as I felt I could not use it based on condition....Bill, without hesitation, had me return it, no problem. Thanks again Bill.
    In terms of NEW 66 being a "reseller", we all are eventually, right? I dont have a problem with that, half of America makes their living doing that, especially in the last decade. Could it be the shipper is to blame and the part really did arrive damaged? If that is the case, and believe me, it may be as I have worked for a very large shipper for almost 30 years, both buyer and seller should be concentrating their efforts at holding the shipper responsible.:Comp:
    Dont give up vending based on one difficult transaction, that is part of the program, and most probably why NEW 66 has an "attitude".:blast: Dont let it get to `ya Bill! Good luck and hang in there!:TU:

    TOPCAT, try to not take these EBAY idiots too personal. You will always run into someone like that. The rest of your feedback showed how you really are.


    Keep doing all the great work you do for the Buick community. We all apprecaite it.

    WildBill,I don't personally know you but I did buy some bumper guards from you a while back.I've seen your posts for sale and the Whoopaxx meets and prizes that you put together for the Buick people and the cool pictures that you post.It seems to me that you are a good Buick guy and most will vouch for that,at least that's how I see it.I've been dealing with eBay for a while,I have 400+ feedback and only one was negative,one of my first ten,I was buying and the guy sent me something other than what I bid on:spank: .I left bad feedback and he did the same,oh well...Maybe you should not get discouraged so soon,it is a good outlet for parts,or anything.Stay clear of the guy giving you the grief,don't sell or buy from him,I don't know who he is but he seems to have a reputation already.Don't take it that hard,you have many satisfied customers here and most likely many more to come.I'll say keep doing it but maybe offer the parts here first before going to eVilbay:Brow:

    I'm still trying to figure out the "BELIEVE" in the background of all the pictures...(BELIEVE THIS>>:moonu: ) anyway...TOPCAT..don't worry about any of it. He's useless...
     
  12. Topcat

    Topcat Got TORQUE?

    No, it did'nt get broken but he says it did.....that would have meant that it was so brittle that it would have been usless anyway. I triple boxed the thing because i had a guy in switzerland interested and packed it well enough to make that trip.It was MINT perfect....

    [​IMG]

    Here's the picture he sent....probably of a mast that he got broken in the box from "one of the many dealerships" he has bought out.....notice the yellowing...

    Now i gotta convince paypal of what he's up to or i get screwed :rant:

    Almost makes a peace loving man......VIOLENT

    Thanks for all the good words and thoughts my friends :TU:

    Peace WildBill

    Man that is unbelievable. The yellowing is obvious. Looks like theft to me. I guess he would have bid anything to get it for "free".

    You have GOT to be kidding! The broken mast is a whole different part altogether. Man, that is slimy. I am no plastics expert, but I don't believe a week or so packed in a box would yellow 40 year old plastic, unless it was thrown in an oven on BAKE for an hour.
