Angry NUKEM_SS (Bad seller)

I sent him a money order for $255.00 well over a month ago for a BMR torque-arm. He's had the money for over a month and still hasn't shipped out the torque arm. Appearently he listed the part for sale without it even being off the car yet and he's waiting to get a stock torque arm before shipping about the BMR one. I've been more than patient with this guy and in my last e-mail asked him to refund me my money. This is the reply I got...."I'm afraid I can't do that, this is not Marshall Field's. You will get your part when I am able to ship it out"

This guy's been jerking me around for over a month now and I just thought I'd let the rest of you know so you don't have to go through this kina BS.

If anyone here has delt with him or personally knows him I want my money back!

Hey Duke what's the status of the torque arm?

If you still need a stock one I will try to help but getting salty with someone who sent money in good faith is not how we like folks to use the board.

Please give us a status report.

I bought a Moser 9" from him with "everything" on it (specifically asked if the brake backing plates were included to the answer of yes).
I got it with the axles stripped and bare, missing plates, axle bearings, and brake backing plates.
The rear end is on and works great, but I did have to shell out a good $300 to replace the parts that were supposed to be included in the deal.

Part of it may not be his fault, as he was selling the item for his friend, but in the end, he's the one representing the transaction.

In fairness, they were good guys to deal with over the phone and shipped promptly. I did not pursue anything after seeing that the parts were missing 'cause interstate collections are pretty much impossible and $300 is under the threashold of my tolerance for BS (in terms of wasted time and aggrevation).

Moral to the story, clarify every item to be included in an assembled item being transacted.

Sean, tell Duke he's making us Chicagoans look bad. Do you have his work number handy, his family runs a banquet hall in Bloomingdale or something.

I hope that Duke can take care of this stuff pronto or I don't want him ******* around on our site anymore... I am embarrassed.

I've dealt with Duke and I had no issues but then again, I'm local and just picked the parts up.

Sorry to hear you are having issues with him.

I will get his work number for you this week, maybe you could also talk to his dad at the banquet hall.

I hope that Duke can turn over a new leaf and show some good character. If I see him soon I'll be sure to give him an earful.

I talked to him in AIM this morning.

He does not have the parts off the car yet, he is waiting for some stock take-off parts from a big local shop...

His AIM is "duseni928" if you want to try him.

I don't like how these deals are going and I will see if I have the stock parts he needs to see if that would help at all...

It's been over a month and he STILL doesn't have the parts off the car? He should've never listed anything for sale and definately should not have took our money if he didn't have the parts ready. Since he won't refund my money what am I supposed to do? wait forever?

It's only 3 bolts to take a torque-arm off...how hard can that be?
