if hes shady and what, dont sell to him. If hes screwed you in the past and people you know, just avoid contact with him. Thats what I'd do.

That is a bit weird that you got an email out of the blue. Is he trying to buy something from you?

yes sir. he was asking about a CAS and was talking about making CNC coil covers........... I told him if he covered shipping I would cut him a deal on the CAS, assuming he would give me a break on the coil cover later.

and it was very much out of the blue. I asked the sender(who I would perfer to keep out of this, for his sake) if he had any proof because it seemed so random that the two would be connected.........

that sounds like an unbelieveable deal...... specially when you read his build thread and he hadnt picked out injectors yet.........

your attitude on this situation could also be taken into effect. Nobody here has obligations to trust you or be your friend, and this is why she posted this. She/We dont know you, your story, or anything about you, so when someone sends an e-mail or something, its natural to try and get information to clear it up.

You came at this fairly childishly, IMO. You could've just said what needed to be said, be mature about it, and take it for what it is. Nobody likes a cry-a$$, which is exactly what you are being. Sorry if this comes of harsh, but I dont see the need to act like this.

"really guys grow your own opinion if you wana believe some random person do it but have i f***ed you guys over"

^^you are a random person to us (the ones who haven't dealt with you). Its just like buying from an engine importer. Everyone asks for feedback, which I think is what Gabby was doing. She WANTED to know feedback is all.

I hope the best for you, and your future customers, but next time, try to clear things up with less "drama".

Cheers

you are not being attacked, and nobody thinks your out to get anyone. If anything, it shows you care about your reputation, but are a little on edge. Atleast now for future reference we'll know why you might ship from different addresses/states and know a little more about you.

first let me start by saying I waited 3 days and asked the person(none of which you have named btw) alot of stupid questions and even joined midwest240sx.com to read some(well most, its been a slow week at work) by the person who the informant said was you........

the idea that you are threatening the person who "started a rumor" does not weigh in your favor either I might add.

I know very few if any of the people on here in real life, a few on myspace, but that really isnt any better. I could easily be a puppy eating freak who goes to the park dressed in a pink bunny suit......... but noone would know that w/o truly knowing me.

to say I have done ALOT of trading, buying, and selling on nico is an understatement, and for someone to go forth and say they have been funked by you says you must have crossed someone pretty bad. specially when they dont know me from the next bunny suit wearing nut case either.

I have also been informed that you are selling parts for a 3rd party who resides in texas......... but like I have said before I dont know anyone from another, so Im rather confused.

PS why if someone suggests that you are not to be trusted would I ask YOU if you were legit? that makes little to no sense...... the CA community is rather small in comparison to most, so to think that someone was searching EVERY post you make on nico to "mudd you out" is also very troubling to me.
