Your dishonest plain and simple and I have actual knowledge of that. I am not suprised with the above deals you made at all...its par for the course from you and I am not going to stand by and let that happen.
As far as thebox of the head studs being ripped open is pointless. As he said there was a regular ole flat washer in the mix. No one has disputed that little fact. That alone is enough to prove you misrepresented the item...especiallt at $155 for USED head studs WITH A POT METAL FLAT WASHER.
That doesnt even take into account the stud remover marks and marred threds. Its highly unlikley hardened studs got marred in shipping...especially if they were still in a box.
If it was simply a ripped box and missing pieces it would be a simple matter of filing a claim. But its obviusly more than that.
Youll need to work with these guys to make it right. Even if you have to take a loss.
The other day I shipped two parts that where about $75 each to two different buyers. The UPS store or myself mixed them up and sent the wrong items to the wrong people. Both where surprised and pissed when they got something they didnt want. I immediately gave them there money back including shipping and exchanged each others info. Luckilly they each reshipped the item to the correct party. I gave them the option of paying for the item once they got the correct item. At that point they both did when they were satisfied.
Is the extra money you made from those deals worth losing LS1tech as a tool from now on? Put things in perspective.

whats the screen name of the guy who bought the heads? I would like to contact him and see for myself. That would resovle some issues for me. Last I heard he was threatening you with legal action and had called brian at TEA who flat out told him the heads where junk in there current condition. needless to say the buyer was upset when he learned of the "history" of these heads.
You yourself had several "sealing" issues. Why did you get rid of them after driving the car for a very very short time? They were given to you in trade for some stock 243 castings with the full disclosure that they needed heat treating due to welded chambers and they likley would not hold a head gasket well. Thats a set of $2500 heads in trade for the $500 stock 243 castings..all due to the fact that you "had to have them" and I flat out told you EVERYTHING about thier condition. I even set u up with a place to heat treat them.
You decided to put them on as is and then pulled them off due to coolant leaks. Then put different gaskets on them. Then you went out 1 time and sprayed. Soon after the heads were for sale for $2500 and NO mention of the need for heat treating or that they were an experiment. Sold to a poor sucker on CF for top dollar.
So whats his SN? i would like to contact him and see how things are going. Even if by some miracle they are currently holding a head gasket...they may not last long or crack in the future with any real driving. And you completley misrepresented them. Its all about being honest James. And you always seem to have a problem with that.

The dimestore washer you claim your would never include looks as though its had a nut just about the same diameter tightened down on it previously.
James...where did you get those studs? They look VERY familair.

The guy is simply pissed that the package was ripped open and something was missing and I dont blame him, but he did however add some bullshit to the pot (i.e no paper in box,dime store washer) once I told him I would'nt give him a full refund to make me look like the bad guy.....
WRONG!!! I don't work that way. This is amazing!! The first picture on the page I posted was BEFORE THE BOX WAS OPENED!! I started to rip into it but stopped to take a picture. There was paper in the box BUT NOT ENOUGH to ship it well. It may have fell out or been pulled out before I got the box but the studs were loose and rattling in the box.... As I said in PM you should have taped them together and packed them so they would not move. This was a classic "poor packaging" job where the box burst. Studs are heavy and with the way shippers handle small packages, they should have been double boxed. Instead you ship them in a worn harmonic balancer box - I still have it, BTW.
BUT nevermind the poor packing, THE STUDS ARE NOT IN "PERFECT CONDITION" AS YOU SAID THEY WERE. The real story is that you don't want to give a refund and are looking for any excuse to avoid it. A decent seller would resolve the issue - especially if it got to the level of BS this has.
If anyone has any doubt in my reputation, pop over to ebay and read my feedback - florida4x4. Also, I run florida4x4.com and have sold several items to users and friends there. If anyone ever had a complaint about any online transaction I was involved with, I haven't heard about it.
onesweetzo6 you have proven yourself a classic example of a dishonest and irreputable seller.

Ill give James Boyd one more chance to do refunds and then he gets a permban. If you were really a cool seller, you would not sweat these two sales. The head stud sale really bugs me because I have had the same thing happen to me.

I dont know of a specific criteria. PSJ is really in charge of all that. But all thats needed to avoid a ban is really a good faith effort to make things right if a transaction is in dispute. I think its more of a case by case basis as presented by the buyer and/or seller . there are some complaints that are not warranted...or at a minimum have two sides to a story. In that instance it would be tough to do a ban. others have documentation, clear proof of deception as shown by posts and PMs that were saved, etc. Those are much easier to make a call.
Again...i dont know what PSJ uses for exact rules...but the above is just common sense.

You can call me a liar all you want but the facts are:
1) You did a shitty job of packaging.
2) The parts in the sealed baggies were incomplete (missing / wrong washers, etc.)
3) The studs should have been advertised "in average condition" at best.
4) You are avoiding any responsibility.
5) You just dont care about making it right.
After all we went through in email, I really don't think I can make you sweat and that's not what I want to do. If I can help prevent someone else from getting burned by you then I will. If that means reporting to the FBI or whatever, then so be it. I was going to let this go until I saw that you are a "known scammer".
Anyway enjoy the $150. You obviously need it more than I do...

Case by case... Moderators speaking for or against folks can impact it too. We also look at what folks say in their posts. If they act cocky or talk in a shitty way, they lose credibility bigtime because most of us don't want to have folks like that on the board.

You are permbanned until you refund both of these guy's money, and they have sent you back the parts. I want both sides to split the shipping to keep it simple.

I'm good friends with Vince and 383LQ4SS. James has a reputation around Tampa for being dishonest. Those heads he resold that were purchased from Al were in need of work. Al knew that, Brian Tooley at TEA knew that and even this Ford guy knew that. Obviously didn't stop him from selling them as "perfect".
