He's using the name "1 Fast Camaro" now or at least has been recently. I'm still waiting on an oil pan which I can assume I will never get. Paypal has been contacted.

Dude, where's my oil pan?

All in favor of mailing this kid a box of feces? I think he deserves a little **** for all this.

LS1powerhouse jumped in a parts wanted thread posted by another individual and wanted to buy the M6 crossmember I had . After no reply from the original poster,(I stated to the original poster I would sell it for what he thought was a fair price) I told him I would ship it upon recieving payment . Never heard from him again. I see two things wrong with that: 1. trying to buy something someone needs because you want to resell it and make money off of it instead of helping a fellow member who needs the part. 2. doing #1 and then wasting the seller's time. The dude is fishy.

You can ban screen names all you want. You need to go after the individuals IP address and block that.We have had to do this on our board and it has worked.

We can take it to that level but have not so far. I will check on this. You know, Nick seems like a pretty bright kid overall but the problems on some of these deals caused us to do the ban. I do not like to ban folks and just ask that folks use the board in a fair manner and treat other board members with respect and courtesy.

I have been waiting for the ramaining balance on the necklace that I had for sale on a previous post. I have sent a request today through PayPal for the amount and I will see where that takes me. I emailed him this weekend and did get a reply mentioning that he had forgotten about it totally and thanking me for the reminder. I will give the benefit of the doubt until the end of the month, hopefully it will be resolved by then. He did mention that his brother was a Marine, that is helping him with the comraderie from my side.

Default Necklace

I hope your joking when you say necklace this is a car forum not a jewelry auction. How did you get a hold of him since he is banned? Do you have his other e mail?

I just used the email that has been supplied in this thread. As for the necklace no, I am not joking. I used the 'Other Things For Sale' thread, which is there for that very reason. Continue to enjoy your split pea soup and hanging out in Dutch country.

Since I last posted nothing has come of my money request from him. I did receive this email via PayPal this morning:

Nick Root (badassls1@sbcglobal.net) cancelled the following Money
Request:

------------------------------
Money Request Details
------------------------------


Amount: $46.03 USD

Subject: Balance

Note:Here is the remaining balance for the necklace. After reading through LS1Tech I have decided to give you until the end of this month to pay the balance. I'm glad I could help you out when you were in need, but the time has come for you to follow up on your end. Your cooperation is appreciated, thank you.

He cancelled this request after telling me twice within a week and a half that he would be getting the money into the PayPal account in a few days. He now also states that he is getting married and that he is also moving into a new house for he and his wife. I could care less, the amount is not that great but the principle of the situation is huge. I have already begun my own quest to get this figured out by my own means. Has anyone gotten any REAL response or payment from him?

He hasn't received a negative FB yet on ebay, but only one transaction from a buyer?

For you guys that are from the D/FW TX area, well....It only takes about 3-3 1/2 hours to get to OKC from there!?

It may be beneficial to be aware of the local fbody website as well? Just in case your interested it is cofba.com

he was selling an ls1 center console on ebay so i asked him (seller) if he had the shifter cable. he replied back and said he has one in great condition. i sent him the money and i received the defective shifter cable about 8 days later. i ran a search on 3 fbody forums using his e-mail address and found this thread. i sent him 1 e-mail every day to reply back as to why he sent me a defective part. he replied back after the 3rd e-mail (asking for my paypal address) and 4 days later i got my money back (less shipping cost).

i wish he had it on ebay so i can leave him a negative feedback.

Nick Root is a POS plain and simple he still owes me 150 dollars and I don't ever plan on seeing it. I wonder if he is back here on ls1tech with a different name? Keep your eyes out for suspicious seller.
