Form>Function aka Craig Payne...
The last post was less than 30 days from my post and I dropped the rules into every thread on the front page that same day. Yours was just one of them.
Thanks for the smart *** comments, much appreciated.

Im with Justin on this one. He went through a living hell and in the end ended up getting burnt on everything. shop time, parts and the actual engine he got.
Iam also out 515 bucks on a mint condition ls2 block with a cracked sleeve.
Not that good of a rule(s). Other memebers with bad experiences should be able to post/help worn other fellow members. If someone ALMOST bought something and had lots of shady dealings, they should be free to post them so others know.
I feel its my right to post in a negative trader thread if I had a problem with him and someone else has as well. I sure as hell dont want anyone else going through the bullshit I had to.
Not tryin to be a dick to you but, its easy for you to just got post a link to the rules in every negative trader post, when your not the person out money. Not talking 20 bucks here.
I work part time and go to college full time. so while 500 isnt alot of money, its a lot for me. I cant imagine how the other people feel who lost 2,000-3,000
If your going to be a mod in this thread, cleaning up the flaming usless posts is understandable. but sharing bad experiences with another member and warning them definately have no reason to be removed. Again, not an attack at you, not trying to be a dick. just saying.

3. You must start your own thread following these rules. Do not piggyback your story in someone's existing thread.
4. This forum is for feedback of actual transactions only. This means if you "almost" bought something, or thought about it but changed your mind, or didn't like the attitude of the person you were dealing with, DO NOT POST A THREAD IN HERE.
Again, if money and/or parts or service were not exchanged by at least one party to the sale then you cannot post a thread in this forum.
5. Do NOT post in ANY thread in which you were not personally involved with the sale or transaction. If you did not start the thread and your name is not in the title; THEN DO NOT POST IN THE THREAD

I actually got half of my money back from this guy. He sent me half, and then I turned him in to my credit card company, and they reimbursed me the other half and went after him for the rest. Needless to say, he wasn't very happy with me.
The only part on that motor usable the way they were is the heads....and I didn't even need the heads. Go figure right?

Man I've been looking to buy a car from online places and I REALLY dont want to now. I feel for you guys I got a fast one pulled on me 4 months ago on a S-10 motor...I know how it feels I got a FWD cavalier motor instead and I filed a wrong item dispute and they sided with him because it was the same block for a S-10 2.2 4cyl same year...I feel your pain.
Well I am now positive the motor I bought from Greinder03 was absolute junk. So now I can say with certainty that I was part of this scam too. Lost all oil pressure after driving it 1500 miles. Found a valvespring in the pan that wasn't from my build.

For what it's worth...the LS2 LONGBLOCK I bought from my buddy Craig, junk as a whole. After new pistons, rods, crank, one sleeve, and some bolts-ons.....she fired yesterday with 50 psi oil pressure at cold idle. The sound of the thing almost makes me forget the whole situation....almost.
Here's a crappy vid.
Mods are in the sig where it says "Cam only LT1".

Think im just going to suck it up and buy a shortblock from a good vender. bringing this back.. just call a call from the freight company. guess craig gave them a fake address and they have been trying to find him and collect the money for the freight pickup.
