I’m sure that there is a perfectly good chance that you are a solid dude and have had many many smooth transactions with buyers and sellers. > > HOWEVER, like I said above I personally choose not to deal with you on the basis that I have heard STORIES (doesn’t mean they are true) that you aren’t the most reliable man to do business with. > > Don’t take it personally when I say any of this, please. > > Also, was that supposed to be some sort of personal attack regarding the group buys? It may or may not have been, but if it was I’d like to respond and say that you can come visit my place and check all of my vehicles for new tires - you’ll find only a single stack of winter tires that I brought up for my sister to use on her corolla this winter. She paid for them. > > Other than the tires, the only group buy I can think of that I did that you might have heard “something” about is my Megan Racing group buy from back in the day - in that case I ended up profiting enough to get a set of megan racing coilovers for like $800 or something (cant remember exactly) - but it wasnt without a drive to and from ohio, a huge hassle at the border, 2 tanks of gas and a shit ton of time invested. > > Group buys are fun, educational (I’ve learnt a lot about tires recently for example) and most importantly they enable me to keep my wholesale accounts active since I have no business with random orders coming in to keep the accounts alive. I do them to keep a relationship with the companies I deal with so that when the time comes for me to order a part for personal use or for my good westend friends we can pay wholesale instead of retail. > > That is all 🙂 > > Don’t make something silly like this personal because at this point I would still be more than happy to greet you with a handshake and a smile if/when we meet. ;] dont worry about the group buys comment, I was being serious, I guess I need to find things for you guys to buy off me for you guys to realize im not that bad of a person. * * * and , I read the entire comment but only had this to part to respond to: “:However, if you had a group of friends who claim to have dealt with me on a personal basis and have only negative things to say would you honestly be willing to trust me with your money?:” Truth me with your money? The way I do business is “same time” like chris tucker, I give the product when I get the cash, I give the cash when I get the product, I dont do shipping deal things… I only have to I think LDN-D.K for a brand new oem fuel pump for 50 bucks. I dont get the concept of trust me with your money? If there is a deposit, there should be a contract written and signed between both parties. ( thats how I’ve always done it ) do you mean selling faulty parts? or ? im really confused. help me out… ( seriously ) I understand not trusting people with cash upfront, or deposits when you dont know house address’s,etc. But i’ve deal with litterally hundreds of members on this board & havent had an issue since my 2nd bings meet. & hey, it seems to happen every year. * * * forums are the cause of a lot of confusion, make sure everyone understands your comments. thanks. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/who-is-this-guy/109030)._
