ATTENTION E-BAYERS READ THIS ASAP

I agree but when some BOZO cops an attitude for a small mistake doesn't call for someone calling you apart of a persons anatomy then that's going way too far overboard, and if the seller is just having a bad day or run but they treat me like gold then I'll concider them for my business and yes I make mistakes but please don't cruisfy me for it just give me the correct information and we'll go on with life and finish the transaction like what mature people do

I've dealt with sellers of models and militaria from all over the world, including some places I didn't even think they had computers! I've always had good results. 19d's negative feedback rating is 1%, considering how many deals he's done. I've never dealt with him but have dealt with a couple of gruff people.... who still gave me good service! I'd say, 41 negatives? I probably wouldn't take a chance at it, but it depends what's for sale.
I DID do a helmet deal (Portuguese Cavalry helmet ... nice!) with a dealer who had a rating of minus 1.. no positives. Just screwed up her first deal. After emailing her and asking for details on payment, etc, I bid and won with a single bid.... getting a helmet that goes for $500 now for a fifth of that. Like I said, depends what's for sale and how much I want it!

I've looked, but never been able to get past the condesending attitude in his terms novel, er, paragraph.

I understand that there are some people out there that are Deadbeat Bidders and I have no problems about that but he has NO PATIENTS WITH PEOPLE and when he starts calling customers vulgar names I think the customers should stand up and get him out of business and shut him down I have no need as a customer for that being disrespected by some putz who can't get a life
And this is for Bilburk yes I do own a 1972 Plymouth 'Cuda had a '69 & a '73 too but had to get rid of them cause of a Divorce before she got her hands on them because all she wanted them was for their $$$$$ value

and now he has an attitude. When you are a seller, it only takes a few non-paying bidders to get you ticked.
Especially after when you, as a buyer, played by the rules, and now as a seller you expect similar behavior from your buyers.

I have also looked at his auctions, but never bid on anything he had for sale. I had the impression that I had already done something wrong to him and I just didn't care for that. I have no problems with him stating his terms and conditions up front but I felt like I was getting dressed down by a drill sergeant.

Maybe it would be nicer to say - He's just "grumpy and ......"

I bought stuff from this guy too. I made the mistake of not reading the terms and what he was looking for. I sent an e-mail wth the information and he gave me some gruff. I didn't do what it said. He obviously has a structure to his auctions so he can keep them straight. When that isn't followed, he gets screwed up.

In some respects he's right. There's alot that can go wrong & if you are not protected you end up paying. I just sent a money order to some guy ( unregistered) he claims he didn't get it. What do I do now ? Send him another ? He had a great rating so I did. It turns out I addressed the first one wrong and it came back a week later. That could have been a disaster. ( a little warning for e-bayers)

You have to have a little tolerance when dealing with the retail customers, this guy has none. I think your point is you don't have to act like an assh**e. I agree !


However, he does per form, he's just "a jerk about following his rules " ( I'm trying to be nice)

Hey good call on that guy i had a run in with this person about a year ago and i hadnt even bid on anything! in case you are wondering his name 19d30r8 is or was a designator from the army telling us that he was a calvary scout staff sergeant and with his attitude toward everybody on-line he was probably forced out. He must really have an ax to grind! By the way 72 CUDA do you have the real car? I have a 71 DUSTER

I have never dealt with him yet. I too like to pay with Pay-Pal but he doesn't accept it.

I have a list of about 5 sellers who are a pleasure to deal with, when looking for kits. A few have gone out of their way to find me certain ones I was looking for.

just wanted to mention that i have won a number of auctions from this guy.
he is not from Florida. is anyone?

i had no problems w/ him or his policies
(which were clearly stated in the auctions i bid on
- i have no idea what his more recent stuff looks like)

the emails i got from him were polite, friendly & helpful.
i recommended his auctions to my friend, and his experiences were much like mine.

i'm sorry to hear that yours were not.

ed.

Well, I dunno about all Floridians being like that, but this guy certainly is! I've a few friends from that area and only one is a jerk!

I think if one has no problems with this particular guy it's because they just bid, win and then pay for the item; including his often times outrageous shipping and 'mandatory' insurance. (THAT is BS) The minute anyone questions him on his questionable policies he goes ballistic instead of politely explaining things. Although, I don't know how you can explain grossly inflating shipping and insisting that the buyer MUST pay insurance. So if anyone's had no problem with the guy it's my guess that they just go with the flow and take it...


Fade to Black...

Well I have to admit I just went and read his terms/policies. I have seen him before, added stuff to my list to watch, but in the end I never bid on his items because he does not accept paypal, and I like to use it. Buyer beware that guy smells like a rat just by his poorly formatted ebay ad. I too sell things on ebay, but I am flexible to work with people. As far as shipping, I always just use flat rates and I do my best to guess. I have a 100% feedback so I guess I'm pretty fair about it

I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience though, eBay can be great otherwise.

Hey that's great but you got to watch your back with these putz's I never had a problem with sellers on E-Bay until I came across this clown, He think's he's gods gift to the world and thinks everyones out to get his money, it all started when I sent him an e-mail telling him the payment amount was in the mail then a couple of days later he received the payment and said I underpaid him I asked him why and he came up with this mandantory Insurance thing an I told him I don't want Insurance but I went ahead and sent a payment for the adjusted new total out and got another nasty reply, you know you trust these people to give you a great service but this clown needs to get a real life and treat others the way he requests to be treated and I think all those people from that area have the same attitude towards the world, they think people are out to steal their money or shaft them over ( I know alot of people who come from that area in Florida and they have the same attitude )

I also won one of his auctions and did not have any problems.

It's not his system that's the problem. It's his attitude and the way he conducts himself through correspondance. Maybe it only flares up now and then, but the guy is a real AH in my experience and those of one friend and several acquaintances. Hell, I've got a 'system' too, but I don't treat folks like they're dirt. He's rude, obnoxious, evasive, deceitful and obstinant.

Maybe he's okay most of the time; I've only come into direct contact with the guy three times and perhaps that's not enough to fairly judge a person. But others I know have dealt with him and have had similar experiences to mine and share similar opinions. Also, his negative feedback stands at 40. That's not a good rating no matter how many transactions he's completed.

I'm glad to say that I've never actually dealt with him; I've only made inquiries on a few items. In the end you may, indeed, get the product. But there are some folks who don't appreciate someone trying to pull a fast one on them. And there are some folks who do not like being treated like garbage.

Call me nuts, but I'm one of those folks.


Fade to Black...

Cuda,

I bought stuff from this guy. He's not that bad. His bark is worst than his bite. He came on strong but there was no big deal in the end. You have to realize he deals with a lot of customers all the time from all over the country. If you don't set up a system - things get screwed up.

In the end you get the product.

Good luck

I don't think I would even bid on something with that many demands at the buyer,that just screams rip off.

chears for the advice
