There is no way in hell I could show up and load everything up just to say I am almost $300 shy of what I said I had!!!

Exactly. That's just unfreakin' believable arrogance.:wack:

here is the deal. i had the 360 built engine, and 4 speed setup for sale. i got a pm from a member that he wanted to buy it all as a package deal. to be honest, i sold him the entire setup for ALOT less than i was asking for just the engine alone. i try to help people out, as many can attest to that i have dealt with. so, we talked till like 10 at night, and he said he would come pick it up in the morning, as long as i pulled it out that night. done deal!. so, i got it all pulled out including pedals, hump, and everything drivetrain wise for him by like 7 the next morning, as he said he would be here by 9 am.. well, 9-10-11 go by, and i finally get a call from him telling me that he is just leaving! i was furious, as he could not even call to keep me up to date. at first, i told him to forget about it, that i would just sell it to someone else. but, cause i had a worker to pay for the over night hours, i decided to let him come get it anyway.

well, once he got here, he decided to buy alot more stuff from me.
so, we came up with the total, and after truck was loaded, i get hit with him not having all the cash on him. 290.00 short! alot may think i am an asshole, because i part these cars out, but i told him it was ok, to just send it to me. he said he would send it in the next two days!.
another part of the story is, while it was a running driving setup ready to go into another car, he noticed one of the lower ears broke off the trans where it mounts to the bell. we did not see it as we pulled it out, as whoever had it last put a bigger washer over it.

so, we decided that i would get him another case for free when i find one.
no where in the deal was it for him to hold the 290.00 as ransome.

it has been at least two weeks, so i called him the other night to politly ask him where the remainder of the money is, and to tell him i have a line on a case, but just have to meet the other member(he is 3.5 hours from me) to trade him a front duster glass for a case.
his reply was, well, i was waiting to send the money till i got a case from yuo!. i did not even know what to say. as i let him leave here with thoudsands of dollars worth of parts, and not be paid in full, to trust him.
i an not mad anymore, but rather hurt. i trusted him, AND HE TOLD ME HE WOULD SEND THE MONEY IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. HE did not say " well, ill send the money when i get a case"
i feel portrayed, used and thrown to the curb like trash.
money is tight, and i told him that, and i need a few more things to finish pinky, and could of really used it like yesterday!.
so he finally said i was right, and would send it out asap. i think this was last wensday, now monday, still no m/o like he said he would do

am i being nieve? do i have a valid argument to be hurt? i told him i would get him a case as soon as either i found one on here for sale, or once my brother gets back from milatary at the end of january.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

And here is the OTHER side of this story............... The deal was originally discused for the "465 horsepower" 360, and the compleat A body 4 speed setup. After a discussion about the motor, it was concluded that that was an inaccurate figure.. So the price got negotiated down.. It was JOE HIMSELF that came up with the final price, I didnt even make an offer.. then he insisted I had to come that night... no way I said, I will come tomorrow... I ask Joe how early was to early to leave, he didnt say. I had a few things come up at home the next morning that caused me to not be able to leave untill closer to lunch time. I called Joe to inform him of this. At this point he said, forget it, I will sell to someone else, and I said, OK fine with me, you dont wont to sell, It doesnt matter to me. Then he calms down, and says come get it........... so I drive all the way up there, get out and check this thing out.. first thing I see is a broken transmission case.. Joe proceeds to start cursing, and goes outside to cool off I guess. I wasnt happy with the deal at that point... He then explains that the deal is such a good one, he can only try to get me a case from his brother or somewhere, and I will have to deal with swapping it out on my dime... After THIS problem cools off, he starts asking what else will I buy??? I told him I didnt need anything else unless it was give away dirt cheap stuff.. So, he proceeds to load up the truck with tons of small stuff, to up his sale. I told him, I brought enough for the engine deal, which I told him BEFORE hand... and little extra, and that I would send him the rest, which by the way, I allready have sent him.. I am still out a good trans case....

There you have it folks, BOTH sides of the story. Believe which ever one you chose to believe....but unless another mod reopens this the gang rape of anyone is over....
