Alright, I'll pay the shipping, you send the engine/clip!

Seriously, you sound like a nice guy. If I was made of money, I might take the risk. But from where I stand, I would NOT do business with someone I don't trust, for cash.. PERIOD. With your bargain bin pricing, if you set up to accept credit, people with purchase protection would jump all over this deal. You're shooting yourself in the foot here.... set up with the credit card companies, then make a deal.

You are asking potential customers to take a SERIOUS risk. Then you try to entice them by lowering your prices even more, and putting a time deadline on the deal. This is called a 'high-pressure sales tactic', and it makes you look even more suspicious. I bet you are totally legit, but you are making yourself look VERY suspect!

I don't know if I live near a port or not, but I do live along the coastline, and I do take it that each bording state has a port just so long as the state has a good accessible water feature right? I stay on the bottom most end of mississippi where there is nothing but beach....

How would I find out if there is a port and where?

Actually most port cities are either on the east or west coast, and they are usually in a protected harbor. But I'm sure there has got to be a decent shipping port in the Gulf area.... why not?

Portland, Maine has a bustling shipping and oil industry. Hapaag Lloyd is one of the world's largest container companies. I believe their biggest east-coast hub is Boston, but we're a close second. A friend of mine imports all the junk that you win at your local couty fairs and carnivals. He buys containers full of cheap gifts and prizes and distributes them to carnival entertainment companies.

I just found out that there is a port in Gulfport, about 15 mins away from me. Wonder if anything can be shipped there.

Mike Patton, do you sell engines ? JDM engines ? As you can see on the poll 10 people don't trust flashoptions. This is very bad news for me. I'm trying to make this a successhttp://www.webz.com.my the creator of our website we paid pure nice USD6500 cash for this website to be up and we're legit. Our intention is to get people to try to buy from us and make sure they see the quality they are getting from us at flashoptions.

and also maineimports. We know creditcard and it's such a big thing. On credit card 100 orders only 80 are legit. And for SR20DET it's a big thing it's not shipping a CD-ROM. It's a BIG HUGE CLIP with a lot of time and price there. We shipped it and half way we realized its a fraud who's going to bear the cost. Have you ever taught of it Mike ? You've got to think on our side. The best way is to have a reputation in this field and show we're genuine and accept wire transfer and western union.That's the best I can do to gain trust. Now we're still new we need more people to give me good reputations. I need people to try and try

Sorry for the confusion, my name is Greg. Mike Patton is a writer and singer for a band called Faith No More. The quote in my signature is from one of their songs, and I provided his name to give credit for the quote.

And no, I don't sell engines of any sort.

Our intention is to get people to try to buy from us

That is quite obvious.

Yes, I've seen it from your side. That's why, as a business, you have insurance. I do not claim to be a credit expert, but I am fairly certain your figures are mistaken. I believe you are confusing credit card fraud/payouts with your end of the credit arrangement. Legally, the crediting agency is obligated to pay for a transaction that they authorize.

The best way is to have a reputation in this field and show we're genuine and accept wire transfer and western union.That's the best I can do to gain trust. Now we're still new we need more people to give me good reputations. I need people to try and try

Okay, so make a grandiose gesture and send me one.... :D

Sounds good, but I am very short on cash right now. I too would also like credit card orders to be assured. I also have a suggestion to prevent fraud if u did get this credit card system up. Make sure to verify with the credit card company AND the owner of the card by phone (get their number from the credit card company). If the credit card company says the card is valid and the actual card owner says they bought the engine from their home phone, then its a real sale. If one of these two options are shot down then its fraud. Also, now a days credit card fraud is harder and harder to do online because the constant tracking of ip addresses. Get an IP logger on your site for each transaction and that will also help put these people out. What maine said is also very true. If a credit card company verifies and authenticates for a transaction, then it is them who must pay that transaction off. They can't make you pay it back. The only thing they can do is go find the villian and press charges on him/her.

i know of this calling the credit card owner to approve, that could be done in malaysia. It's really crazy 3% of the total payment just like paypal. It's quiet a waste of money on this. We'll go venture into credit card soon. But not so fast yet currently wire transfer and western union is excellent.

I wouldn't mind dirty engines. Hell, I am a mechanic and have seen many that are way dirtier and running! (not sr's though) Point being, you dont need to judge a book by its cover. For all you know, that engine in the pic could have great seals and gaskets with everything in working order. Personally when I get a motor no matter from who and no matter how good it is, I am changing out the pistons/rings and connecting rods along with all seals and gaskets before I throw it into a car. This just assures me. A clean engine could have had a harder life cycle then a dirty one.

basically i look at it this way people voting "no" what's their reason. The poll is " do you trust flashoptions" we're legit. I don't see what's the problem can you see the yellow paper it states "NICO FORUM"geez this is weird man!!

Maybe sellers or other forum just having fun click "NO"

I'm the only other seller on this board, and generally the only users that come here are looking for SR20 information. I very much doubt people are just having fun at your expense, to tell you the truth I"m surprised you've gotten "yes" votes. The Nissan community is not like the Honda community, strangers are not trusted for the most part, and right now a lot of strangers aren't even wanted due to the popularity of Nissans in magazines. If you want my honest opinion, I'd say most of the 6 positive votes you've gotten are from new members, and the 12 against are from regular NICO people. I told you before that trust is not built overnight, and one picture is not going to change everyones mind. Its similar to phone sex hotlines, they show you pictures of all kinds of hot models, but if you call in do you REALLY expect to talk to some gorgeous model? : ) People won't trust you for a while, I'm sure the members appreciate your enthusiasm, but its just that simple, it will take months to build trust, and you're going to have to find someone thats respected if you want quicker credibility, or you're just going to have to wait. People will not be swayed by one picture or one customer, if you want their trust you're going to have to wait.

Also, people have given you lots of reasons why they voted no, mostly because you're in Malaysia and they can't trust the quality of your engines, as has been said before, I"ll say again. Most people don't doubt that you can GET engines, anyone in any of those countries can GET an engine, its the QUALITY that people are concerned about, and no picture is going to make people feel better. Enjoy your day.
