Whith that topic I am sure I opened myself up to a lot of ridicule
Boy am I an idiot. I am the kind of guy that would spend all day in the parking lot helping a fellow boater getting his ride working and never think about how much time it takes As long as there is beer). I have met some great friends that way.
Well I gotta tell my story of getting screwed by a "fellow" jet boater. I offered a set of Hooker water injected OTT Twisties for a 480 on E bay.
I put them in for $250 and was hoping to get $350.
Two days after the insertion I get an E mail from a guy in CA. WRITE THIS NAME DOWN JOHN WHITNEY, who says he'll give me $365 if I end the auction and ship them to him the next day. He tells me he has a trip planned for that Friday and really wants them for the trip. I call him at his work (707-840-0563) and we talke about helping a fellow boater. I shipped the headers teh next day and he got them on Thursday. He put them on, sent me pictures and they worked great
YOU GUESSED IT. Now he is Stiffing me..
I finally got a hold of him and we agree that he will ship me a Holley Tunnel Ram scoop in lieu of $200 (he works in an auto parts store) and send me a check for thye rest. (about $200 with the shipping) That was the last I ever heard from him
I have called him no response
I have sent 50 E mails no response. His E mail address is JandJwhitney2002@aol.com.
This SUCKS. I have a picture of his boat if I knew how to post it I would.
i am sorry I am venting, but this guy is a jerk. I'll still help everyone else but If I meet this guy, I only hope he has a big enough motor to RUN! or the conscience enough to PAY UP
If anyone knows him send me his home phone and address just for the "fun" of it.
What a jerk! I'd be a good thing if you can get the picture of his boat posted. Try putting it in the media section and then linking it here. someone is bound to see him somewhere.
P.S. Your only an idiot if you sell parts without money up front again.

Unfortunately, you can't use eBay to help collect, since you finalized the sale out of their system.
Expensive lesson. When I list something on eBay, I'll always include a "Buy it Now" price, just for situations like yours.
You are right about E bay. I have sold a lot of Hot rod stuff there and never got butrned. This was a weak moment to help someone out
NEVERMORE I have learned a lesson (expensive)
WETDAWG, e-mail me the photo's of his boat.

I say some where, some body know's this HoMo Bitch! Or seen his boat around. And they should help to hunt that little dick down!
I hate hearing about shit like that!
Well this is the picture I recieved, but I don't think it's going to help him get his headers back.. LOL No matter though, I'd rather look at these anyways.

wetdawg , I don't think your an idiot for trying to help out someone...almost all the guys around here will gladly loan or take a loss of money on parts just to get a fellow boater back on the water .even to go as far as loaning out engines ,blowers , carbs whatever.....but You did not know the guy......what goes around comes around ....may the Motor Gods release their wrath on the pricks engine....ps..Hope ya get to meet him in person!
Ok RD,
That was the teaser. here is his boat.
And no, she was not on it (I gotta learn how to use this computer)
