Default frankmarroquin is a fraud and an extortionist

Myself and frankmarroquiin decided on a trade. I was to trade my LS6 intake with a money maker kit installed on it, for his LS6 intake + 275. And we would each pay to ship our own intakes.

Frank told me that his f-body is his daily driver and he can't go without having a vehicle. I told him I will be more than happy to ship mine first, he can swap the intakes, and than promptly send me back the regular LS6 intake, EVEN THOUGH FRANK HAD NO FEEDBACK AND HAD A LOW POST COUNT. Frank agreed to this and sent me the 275 via paypal. ON CHRISTMAS EVE, I was wrenching on my car, getting the intake off and hoping to make it to the post office on time, because it closed early, being Christmas Eve. Instead of spending it with my family, I got the intake sent off and promptly sent Frank the tracking number that night. As I was in a rush to get to the post office in time, I had left the EVAP line and vaccuum line going to the brake booster on the intake.

Frank received the intake and told me there was a crack at the back of the intake. I know that there was no crack when I sent it. I told him that some epoxy would fix it, and it did. This was obviously an error on my part, due to poor packaging, but it was fixed fairly quick. I also told Frank that I needed his intake back ASAP, as I had wrecked my daily driver, and needed my Camaro running again to get around.

TWO WEEKS LATER frank ships the intake

I recieve the intake and realize Frank did not include the EVAP line or the vacuum line, but he did include the clamp for the vacuum line. I told Frank about this and asked if he would get them shipped out ASAP, as I needed my car back. He said he would look for them. I also saw that the intake was cracked in the back, because Frank had packed the same why I did, with less packaging. I did not bother saying anything, because it is an easy fix.

Almost another two weeks go by and Frank keeps blowing me off, saying that he will look for them. He finally tells me that he will only send the parts if I leave him positive feedback right now. I told Frank that I would not and that that is extortion. I will leave positive feedback when I receive the parts and not a moment sooner. I remind Frank on the several occasions I bent over backwards for him and politely ask him for the parts that belong to me. He declines. I give Frank a final warning, telling him I will leave negative feedback if he does not and that I will not leave feedback early due to his slow shipping time. Frank again declines and tells me "do what you got to do"

I made it aware to you that my Car was locked in the shop "A! Transmissions" in Mcallen that when Bankrupt chapter 7 or something like that and that was my fault because I had my car there... But one question if you knew the intake was not broken why would you include the Hose that was broken with the nipple still in it and the EVAP thing when I have mine from my car? Oh and also I got screwed over twice. 1 being that I recieved a broken intake that I basically paid $600+ for and 2. I received Negative feedback because you decided to send me those parts. And at that I didnt package the intake my wife did because I have been working overtime like crazy. But I guess what can i do..... FROM YOUR FEEDBACK THIS KINDA THING IS NOTHING NEW TO YOU as you did the same thing to another person...

because i was a nice guy, and wrenched on my car on christmas eve, instead of spending it with my family and was in a rush to get to the post office before it closed, because the post office closes early on holidays.

The hose still had the other part of the nipple in it, BECAUSE IT BROKE WHILE IT WAS BEING SHIPPED. The hose was still attached to the intake when I put it in the box!

Maybe you didn't send them because maybe you lost them and dont want to buy new ones

So because your wife did it, it makes it ok?

So if YOU KNEW that your car was locked up and couldn't get access to it, why would you let me send you my intake, knowing that you would have to send me yours?

You got screwed over twice?! I got screwed over SIX times through this transaction
1) I have a cracked intake
2) I have no evap line
3) I have no vacuum line
4) I spent Christmas Eve working on my car, instead of with my family
5) I have gone a month so far with no vehicle
6) I now have negative feedback

Why would you THINK you were getting negative feedback, unless you thought you DESERVED negative feedback. You openly admitted that you deserved negative feedback, you just dont WANT negative feedback.



When you first received the intake you could of said "it is broken, I don't want it". But no, you decided you wanted to keep it. I did not force you to keep the intake. I told you how to repair it and you were content. YOU EVEN LEFT ME POSITIVE FEEDBACK! I dont see why you keep bringing that up as your only defense for being a bad trader, considering both intakes were cracked.

the fact you have left me feedback twice for one transaction sounds shady imo
