I have delt with him several times over the last few years and had nothing but good service from him. I know he is very busy traveling to shows as I see him several times a year at different shows across the country. He is definately not trying to scam you out of $250, thats chump change, and he would not risk his good business name on this site and other places over that, as usual, he probably was told your product was available for shipment from the warehouse and took your order, then went to have it drop shipped from Comp to you, and its suddenly out of stock, which I have heard happens often with CC, call the phone number, when he is traveling it rings to his cell phone I think, I have always had no trouble reaching him. He has been around a while and isn't going anywhere, he will deliver when they are available.

$250 may be chump change to you,but not me.Three weeks with not a single call returned,or an email answered,what i'm i to think.?He did send me a set of rhs heads that i order at the same time,so i tried to wait out the rockers,but three going on four months? I also emailed him with options,money back,list of other part's of equal value,anything to close the deal.NOTHING HAS BEEN HEARD FROM HIM.

What I meant buy the "chump change" comment, was that its not worth ruining a good business name over, I know its a lot of money to be out of, and I am not affiliated with them in anyway, and live 600 miles away, was just posting my previous dealings with him, I do believe he will make things right for you.

It is irrelevant what his "busy" schedule is. If you don't have time to ship it, don't advertise it. If you find it is out of stock, let the customer know of the delay. It is the purchasers decision and his alone whether he wants to wait for your stock to be replenished. It is WRONG to keep a mans money if you don't have the product, NO MATTER the excuse, it is wrong! Communication in ANY business is a key element!

His busy schedule means NOTHING as the people waiting for their stuff watch the racing on Saturday, instead of participating.

I can only think of ONE reason why he can't process credit cards at this time!

Thank very well put.!!!

My thoughts as well and why i offered the choice of other parts to close this deal.!!! I call his number three to four times a day, and leave messages once a day just for FUN.!!! NOTHING FROM HIM.!!!!!!

I have a very good reputation and try my damndest to do everything I say. I would rather not even deal with guys like him. I sold him a brand new carb much cheaper than he could buy one from Jegs and because I tried to do the right thing, he get's on here and tries to bash me. Real classy!!! I have sold parts on this website (probably a few thousand) and have not had anyone give me any trouble. Sorry guys, but I thought I needed to let everyone know what the "WHOLE STORY" was. Anyone has any questions, please feel free to call me.. I am not afraid to post my phone number 859-647-7223. Thanks for listening, Dwight.

I would beg to differ,will not answer the phone,will not return phone message's,will not return emails and no parts yet? waiting since 4-16-10

I guess my first clue should have been the "KY" in ky speedparts,next time i will check all forums for feed back before ordering part's. Makes hard on all the other smaller dealers when you have trouble that this,Makes me want to buy from the big name parts dealers only,they now how to do business,order numbers sent to eMail acc.with in minutes of placing the order,tracking numbers when the parts ship.May cost a little more,but i don't think i would be typing here if i had ordered from one of them.!!!!

The guy is NOT HONEST. REMEMBER GUYS THE TWINFOGGERSBC dude that had a rep for being a scammer.Kentucky took his money from paypal and by his own admission never sent the goods.

It was a case of two crooks running into one another. Only my opinion.

Do a search.There was more than one thread. It is a long read but at first you think he is a victim but if you read it all you will see he was dishonest as well.

He had a lower price than comp,I did call comp to see,he must get a dealer rate or wholesale price. I guess if it's too good to be true , maybe it is.? I would also guess that he sell's out of a storage building or his house shop,lower overhead to sell so cheap,I don't think that building in his profile is real.Takes my money to buy the parts with and have them drop shipped from there,small profit of a few dollar's on each item,but adds up if you turn enough parts.Just my guess.

Yep, I agree w/ what Rudy said. there are no excuses... busy schedule does not matter one bit. Where is one excuse, another will follow. 3 weeks is unacceptable to return an e-mail or phone call. What will the seller say now/?? "I have been in the hospital" or I was in another country where there are no phones, whatever. Flake.

Greg,

I left you a message on your work phone. I need to appologise to you. It seems that your order has been lost or misplaced. I remember talking with you and taking the order, but am not sure what happened in the mean time. I am sincerley sorry and will work on getting the heads and rockers to you asap. Thanks, Dwight. 859-647-7223.

Mr. Farmer,

Your rockers were also coming from Comp Cams. They were still not available when they sent your heads. They are supposed to come directly to you from them. Sorry for all the BS...I will check on the rockers for you. You'll love the heads. Thanks, Dwight.

Mr. Farmer,

Out of sight out of mind. I had no idea you hadn't recieved your rockers yet. I have been out of the shop with some health issues and have been trying to work from home. We are currently doing some "house cleaning" and are trying to get back on the right path. I appologise you haven't gotten your rockers. I will get them out to you by Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for being so patient. Dwight.

Received this pm today from another site,I guess that explains a lot of things.I hate to hear this kind of thing for the other people that are out of a lot more money than me.Also explains why he will not come on here to defend himself for being the dirtbag that he is.!!!!!!!!


[/quote]Hey, heard all kind of storys about this guy. I am local to him and hear that alot of people, near and far, are looking for him. He has skipped town and long gone. He needed to change his name to KY Jelly for all the people he screwed. I have heared that he filed chapter 11 and his debt is close to a million dollars. Sorry to hear about you lost.

sorry to say you probably won't hear from him. i had a similar thing happen to me with him but i did eventually get my stuff. any reputation he has is all bad. if anyone on here says anything good, it's probably him under another screen name. he is a drop shipper and has no inventory.
