Dealt with him about a year ago, maybe 1.5 years ago

Still have $70 of my $$ ($100, technically)


We were supposed to trade a '66 tilt column for a set of bucket seats (one was recliner seat)


He was supposed to deliver when driving through Ohio

Plan was for Columbus. Never showed. I had a house in columbus at the time
I called at midnight wondering where he was, after sitting on my butt all day waiting for him. I remember specifically cancelling a date with a girl, waiting on the joker
He was asleep in a hotel. Made plans for next day. No idea why he didn't call me to cancel or change plans? He had my address and all, was supposed to show between certain hours....


Sat around all day next day....same deal...and he's already driven past columbus by the time i get ahold of him

I call late at night after sitting around all day and his trailer is too full - can't unload the seats at that point, after i offer to drive to him.

So we plan to deliver the next day 2 hours away, near cincinnati.

I drive two hours away, stay at my parents house - more excuses...and says he'll ship the seats to make up for it



I ship the tilt column and pay shipping difference in seats (i was being nice, since his shipping cost would be more than mine)
He never ships seats...waits until he has the column (disgruntled me). Who does that?

Gets the column and it's somehow bent in shipping. UPS messup? Impressive...to bend a shipping column. Not his fault, admittedly

Anyways, I'm tired of dealing with him at this point and say i'll just buy the bucket seats for his stated price.

He now raises the price for the bucket seats. Uncool.



That doesn't make me happy, of course...
We debated how much it would cost to fix (the bent column). He wanted far more than i thought it would cost to fix it (small bend in the bottom shaft i later fixed easily)


I tell him to send me back the column and my shipping $$$.


He says he's taking out $30 to reship the column back to me...Kinda fair - not his fault it was bent.

I got the column back, but never got the extra $70 from the extra shipping i said i'd pay




Very unprofessional. Wasted 2 or 3 days of my time, me sitting...waiting on him...when he said he'd deliver or meet me here or there and never showed.
I'm sure I could find something better to do than sit around waiting for someone.

And state a price and then raise a price? Not how i do business.


I've asked a few times for the shipping fund. He always says he'll send and never does.


Just fair notice to those that try to rely on him for something. He sounds like an 18 year old on the phone...and does business like one


I think it's my only negative experience in the pontiac hobby
