do not do business with mooleyz28
do not do business with mooleyz28 he's a 17 year old kid in illinois that needed help after putting a new motor in and then over revving and bending his stock pushrods. i only wanted $20 for mine shipped. so, he agreed. most of this conversation went over AIM. he was supposed to ship money order at same time i priority mailed him the pushrods. i only shipped 17 out of 18. my mistake. i sent him a scan of the delivery comfirmation sending him the pushrods. he said he forgot to send the money order. i said just drop $20 in an envelope and be done with it. he said ok. the next night he says he doesn't trust his mailman. so he's sending a personal check .never got it. said he would send another one. didn't get it either. said he would paypal me. to this day nothing.
overall i'm not worried about the $6 in shipping i'm out. it's about his integrity and honesty as a fellow f-body owner that concerns me. and yes people if it was for $50 or more, i would not have sent the parts until money received. he's been the only one to not pay me.
here's one of many threads of me getting his attention

here's a search using his board name and you'll find many other posts trying to get it resolved. he as since quit posting and one of his friends has posted for him. i will keep tracking him until he pays up. http://web.camaross.com/forums/searc...der=descending
all the ones with dots are the posts where i have tried to resolve the situation.

ok links are fixed. i finally found his home number and called him. he has told me he has sent the money out in an envelope. i gave him the address again. i'll keep you posted on the subject.
just because he is 17, don't blow him off
i'm also 17 and always try to be as honest as can be to ppl. right now i'm trying to get a cam that the person said he sent out 10 days ago but i'm sure he's prolly 17 also :rollseyes:

Wooooaaahhhhh!!! I thought this should be closed due to ummm... him recieving his money ummm months ago. I sent 2 person checks and they never made it there... I thought he was trying to screw me over. Happens that our mailman had been out of town and the "new guy" had been trying to make a few bucks on the side. Finally got out good ol' mailman back and sent the cash out a day later... He got the cash 3 days later. So lets keep this closed, Im a good guy and sorry for any mix ups.
Thanks,

Please, Lets just keep this ummm AWAY from the top and lets not get into an argument about this lol. 17 year olds are just as good of buyers/sellers as 40year olds. Everyone will haver good and bad things to say about one another on both sides either being the buyer or the seller. But anyways. Im done, goodluck with those buying and selling and lets not scam anyone.
Thanks once again,
John Melamed

No need to get your panties in a wad. She never said "all 17 y/o are bad."

Thanks... I have been so tied up with all my work and I have been waiting to finally get a break which will be wed and thurs so hopefully ill have all the rest of my stuff shipped to those who bought from me. Sorry for the delay guys,
Well I'm having fun with this guy now. I bought a Hooker off road y - pipe from him... First it took two weeks to ship... No biggy, I can live with that. Then I get it yesterday, and its literally a peice of crap. The one end has been cut off, and the other side where the slip pipe goes is fine, but he didn't give me the slip pipe. It was obviously all rusted, because its been spray painted with grey primer. I haven't heard back from him yet, but this thing is of no use to me.

Hope he makes this right for you.
Here is the email I got from him today
"i am at college... i didnt try and rip anyone off. I sold it for a friend and
he says it is sold as is. Sorry to hear this, I can try and talk some sense
into him. Ill get back to you around laborday cuz i wont beable to access any
e-mail for about 2 weeks. Sorry"
This is bullshit. He sold it to me in good condition, and I get this peice of garbage. I told him I want a refund, or enough money to fix it.
Do not do business with this guy.
