Default LS144 is a crook

Bought this lid from him 3 weeks ago and still have not recieved it or a trackin number to check on the status. Doesnt respond to emails at all. Claims he sent out 2 parts on the same day and mixed up the zip codes, so they got returned to him. But Parts were supposetly shipped back out a week or so ago. One to me and another ls1 member. Still nothing 3 weeks later, thats more then enough time. Has 2 other complaints on his trader rating saying he never sent parts.. Lets make it 3, save yourself the hassle and dont buy from him. Here's the thread, I want my money or lid

Damn. I feel bad about seeing a thread like this because I've been hosed by this guy too and didnt leave feedback. He listed a cam, which I bought, but forgot to put in the ad that the cam was in a motor that experienced catastrophic failure. Needless to say there was several scuffs/marks on it that rendered it uslesss.

Thread of sale: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=629299

Heres a thread with pics that he posted of his motor. I put 2 and 2 together to figure out how the cam got fouled up. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...9&page=2&pp=20

The name he shipped my stuff under was Brandon Eplin. Sounds like we have some twin brother crooks.

It's Brandon. I'll see what's up. I know him. Not that I can fix anything, but I can ask him what his issue is and why he's robbing you guys.

I sent him a $300 money order. Needless to say I was pretty nervous for 6 weeks. He did ship the stuff after all though. But I got a bad cam and good 918 springs. So I guess you could say I have the most expensive used 918 springs ever.

Either way, the dude dosent need to be dealing on this site anymore.

You all need to start clicking off the negative trader rating if there are issues still outstanding.
If no one does it, other members won't know if they don't read this thread (which anyone should if they plan to buy from other members).

Go leave negative trader ratings NOW.

I just did. He'll probably put some negative feedback on mine too, even though he got the money the very next day. Oh well, we'll see.

That's certainly no way to get your stuff. He told me last night that he just messed up, got sidetracked, and had some bad luck, and that he'll get the stuff out. But probably not now. I wouldn't. No reason left to now.

There's plenty of reason for him to. He has their money. If someone pays for something, you go through with the deal, not make excuses.

You haven't got much experience with online deals, do ya bud? The one thing he had over LS144 was the negative feedback. But now he's given up that bargaining chip. I've done my part and told him about this thread. I'm done. I hope you guys get your stuff, but morons like yotaman are why I'm not willing to help anymore. Have fun. I've got the boy's address and phone number, but will keep it since yotaman knows better than I do.

He's had time to make things right. He hasn't done so. I'll make sure not to buy anything from you because you are showing your true colors. There should be no bargaining. They paid and he didn't do his part. End of story. What makes me a moron and why would that keep you from helping the people he ripped off?
