I think you meant TRUSTING.

Buyers should be less trusting

Sellers should be more trustworthy

just sayin.

I don’t TRUST your grammar advice

Not a fan of all the bullshit lately.

I have always been a very honest seller/buyer and this shit just blows my mind. My reputation is much more important than a few dollars… it just doesn’t make sense.

I hope this is all a misunderstanding, and he will make things right.

On a side note there’s a few people on the boards I have been trying to deal with that have either been dicking me around or not getting back to me. It’s pissing me off big time.

:lol: This whole situation’s like a scale model of the US economy, the motor being a bundle of bad mortgages that nobody wants to admit is worthless so it keeps getting passed around. Maybe one of you can get your parents to buy it off of you to stimulate your finances so that you can get out of their basement.

I actually had an apostrophe in there, but deleted it because it detracted from my desired “casualness”.

Just sayin’.

-He bought motor was informed it needed of a head gasket, now has expensive scrap.
-Seller knew the motor was toast, got motor from a scammer knowing condition.
-Scammer got motor from someone else knowing it was blown.
-Same group that defends scammer defends new scammer.

So this thing has gone 95mx6->CKY->Ashort->jdmf23accord? With amnesia setting in each time regarding the fux0r3dness of the bottom end?

anyone buying a “parts” shortblock with a claimed “blown HG” should’ve damned well given it a once over.

I mean, its not as if a popped HG could possibly be a sign of greater problems. Assuming for one second that it did actually pop a HG at all. :gotme:

BUYER BEWARE. Says it right at the top of this subforum.

Only CKY could manage to be involved in a scam when he isn’t the seller, buyer, or allowed in the marketplace of choice.

Agreed, but the main problem here is… seller sold knowing the damage and neglected to inform.

Oh I do agree. I mean hell it doesn’t even sound like he tried hand-cranking the motor to see if it turned freely.

I just find my self annoyed that it’s the same group of people defending someone that sold an engine with a known history of being nothing more than scrap.

I agree, but again, eh. buyer beware. it was a pretty well known problem from pervious threads.

@deebo

i’ve probably sold, bought shit 50+ times from this site, and have dealt with a lot on honda tech. i’ve never once been scammed, nor would i ever do the same. reputation means too much, and it always means a lot when someone else puts in a good word for you.

on nyspeed, w/ your employer, a company you want to work at, whatever. honesty is always #1.

no, you just dont respond to people who try to buy shit.

Tell me about it. It’s fucking ridiculous.

[IanK]

Id like to know, if he knew for sure it was shot, do remember who he bought it from, just saying.

I know it’s not the case, but that would be great if it was from sureshot!
