It is a shame that some sellers will not be honest as to the product they sell. I bought in good faith from Homegrown440 at his price :evil: two dominator carburatrers advertised as "JUST LIKE BRAND NEW" when in fact they were very used and in need of repair. The pictures were very selectively taken not to show true condition. I can not believe one would rip off a fellow Junk member in this way, but I guess the $$ rules.

I tried to resolve with this seller. He continues to stand by his fraudulant way and will not work with as he has the $$ now and is happy as a Lark.

i have learned that if it says "like brand new" i just buy brand
new which does affect selling on RJ or buy only if i can travel
to see it before i buy it, i did buy some brand new manely
valves for a 1/4 of the new price and in a box unopen :wink:

True enough, just that you should be able to take a man for his word, but again, I guess the old $ will turn people like him to sin city......

You may have an arguement on just like brand new. But I don't think you were scammed, you paid 600.00 for a 1200.00 carb. 1/2 price of new should of made you wonder enough to ask for additional photos. I think you should pull your ad and assume some responsibility of not being fully aware of just what your getting. There are 3 clear photos of the carb. Everybody wants a 50.00 part to make a second difference but very seldom ever happens. JMO

I want to thank all of you for your replies. It is great to hear all differant opinions. We all have ours don't we. But the real FACT remains. Paid too much, got a deal, whatever. All he had to do was be HONEST and let me decide if I wanted to buy or not. So let's all gang up and have a great day.

You purchased used carbs anyone that does this can about count on needing to take them apart and rebuild them pretty common. If you wanted a new carb you should of purchased one.
The fact is the guy got on here and give his side of the story and you havent said anything back there :?:
and Brian is a good guy that is respected here we will leave it at that ..

I sold two BG carbs to eds66nova and a painless switch panel and knocke off $200 from my asking price because he bought it all.He called me and asked about the carbs and I told him they were both used and I had not run them I did'nt know what jets were in them or anything like that!These was nice used carbs in perfect condition.When he received the parts he did'nt bother to call me to talk about what his problem was with the parts .He just starts sending obsene messages saying that it was junk and this and that bs and wanting part of his money back!He could've called and told me he did'nt want the stuff and sent it back to me for a full refund.No he wants to go file a dispute with paypal asking for a refund of $300 and keep the parts!Please look at the add #1465633 and decide who wants to rip who off.If anyone buys from me and is not happy with the parts I'll gladly give your money back for the parts not a third of it and you keep the part!This is a used parts sale not a gimme your parts !Thanks Homegrown440
Good Try Mr. Ed..here is Homegrowns post from another thread...
How about trying to act like man this time around and give him a call . He has said he will give you a full refund for his parts back....sounds like to me you trying to Scam the man by keeping his stuff and getting the Money Back.
And you had the nerve to block me for thinking i made a low ball $900 plus shipping begining offer for your 142 blower ??...Gezzzzz :roll:
Hey i could really care less about mine and your deal.....that was nothing...but you need to Man up and give the man his parts back and get your money refund...or forever be a Punk !
YES,,,this is just my opinion once again...and Yes i am ripping you apart until you do the right thingy...what's it gonna be Ed...Man or Punk ?...
i say Punk....prove me wrong ! 8)

Well Ed you put your thread on the right post. The only thingy you got wrong is that your the scammer..........
As the truth comes out, man your a joke, your block bjuice from pm'n you because you thought he low balled you, and then you low ball Homegrown440, then try to get another $300.00 off, then put ads out and come on here with pure BS about Homegrown440. Your pathetic. You want everything for nothing and then want full retail for your sh#t. Whats bad is you get the carb for almost nothing and like a kid you sit in the corner and cry in your fruit loops, because you we're able to screw him.
Suck it up and be a man. Hey, I know, you can block everybody!! Because I bet Homegrown is wishing he had blocked you.
Show some class and Man up!!

You are such a drama Queen Mr Ed !..you done went over to the classifieds and posted the carb for sale claiming you just want your Money back, you leave no phone # etc....but in reality you just wanted to Rip Homegrown....and you feel the classifieds is the place to do it.
Homegrown already said he would give you a refund if you would just call him....how about dealing with him on the forum on his post he made..or better than that...call him..
I still say forever punk !

This is exactly the same situation I ran into on EPAY. Sold a set of LT1 valve covers that were nice- started the auction at $40. This clown bids them to $130, blows the other bidders away. I send him the covers which were very nice with no damage, and he receives them, says they are cracked and it will be $30 to fix them. Told me it would be in my best interest to protect my feedback rating so i should refund the bucks to him.
I offered him a full refund, and the Wipe wont reply back and immediately slams me with negative. The reason why I closed the account and dont sell on the Internet anymore.
When a full refund is offered to a complainer and he turns it down- it means exactly what Bjuice and others are suggesting- he wants the items for a lot less.
Homegrown- why not do to Eds66Nova what he did to Bjuice. He thought Bjuice lowballed him and blocked him from contact, since he is obviously doing the same thing to you that he claims Bjuice did to him. Use the same solution block him.
You have nothing to prove to the forum and notify RJ of any inappropriate classifieds wording.

Wow EDWARD... I would be surprised if you even get back on this thread. There is enough incriminating evidence to show you are a PUNK ... You are what I would call a PETTY scammer who is just not smart enough to do the big ones!!! LOL!!! Go run & hide... you are only digging DEEPER.... Run Forrest, RUN!!!
How about this idea: take your Dominators you got for HALF PRICE & buy rebuild kits & shut your mouth... BBEEEEOOTCH. BTW, I do remember when you blocked Bjuice on the blower too... it was just an OFFER... take it or leave it whiner... what a JOKE. The sweet smell of justice, you gotta love it!!!

Kevin you know you are well respected here on RJ at least in my eye's. But does your experience with Ed suppose to discount what has happened here with this Guy and Homegrown ?...i am sure if we ask enough people Charlie Manson done some good things in his life also but damn if i will stand in for him..
Again i appreciate your opinion of the guy..so maybe you can call him or E-mail him and see if he will call homegrown to make this deal right instead of being a punk about it....
Did you read above what has happened with Ed and Homegrown ? .it personally would be hard for me to endorse a guy like this no matter what has transpired between me and them...and by the way...he was honest with you as you know it. Doesn't look like the case here..... ...just my opinion.
thanks for sharing Kev.

I read the thread and up to the buyer and seller to work it out,I was just stating what business I have done with ED and it has been all good,I read on here alot and try to give credit where it is due,and help others get there money back from scammers if it helps,Just saying Ed is a good guy in my book,I would rather buy on RJ than sell,I have tried to sell on here with no luck as I get lowballed alot and just dont even respond to them,I guess they get the hint.Most of the time I will just remove the ad because it is a hassle most of the time,somebody wants to buy and wants your # and you never hear from them.But I find this site a great place to buy if you do your homework on the seller...Thanks.......

Dad gum, is it the 4th of july on this thread or what. Lots of as_ reamin going on, someone got to be sh_ttin sideways by now.
Buyer and seller just need to work this out.
Reposting in the manner presented without trying to work it out with seller was not very professional or respectful to either party. HOW LOW WILL YOU GO??????
Its got to be the economy, well maybe. ANYWAY..........
When you have a problem, go to the source. Pretty simple. Its alway better to try to work things out than to start the writtings of the next reality show.
