Bad dealings with fellow HPS member.......

[OH3MGSVT]

Just go over there and check it out man, whats the big deal if he is OFFERING to pick you up, buy beer, and bring you back. Free beer + car ride = I don't understand why you still refuse to go over to just check it out with him.

Guys I see we are talking about $300.

We have 47 posts on the subject.

Work something out or I am locking the thread.

No more personal attacks.

I don't think its about the money, I think its about getting the problem solved.

Is 47 posts alot for a problem of this nature? Most are opinions from outsiders like you and me?

I don't think its fair for you to "threaten to lock the thread" when the problem obviously started here and should end here. Give them a chance, I would have to say its one of the tamest bad trades on the net I have ever witnessed.

The ball is in his court.... he doesnt want to work it out....I have been more than fair... I am the victim .

I am not so sure you are a victim but you do seem to like to play the part.

You had an opportunity to inspect the engine before shelling out any cash, it is widely understood that items sold on forums are 'as is'.

You have done a few things in this thread that make it seem like you are trying to mislead the members here. First being the picture of the dirty bearing, that bearing did not have all that crap on it when you pulled it out. The second being the pissy "Poor me" tone you have given to all your posts. YOU made a mistake, deal with it.

You can more than likely get that motor back together for less than $200. A $500 motor isnt a bad deal.

93mustank and ThePunisher95:

You wanted posters opinions... here is my honest opinion. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN an "as is" contract or a "30 day warrenty" type contract written up and get a notery(sp?) on that!!! dont even hesitate if its your friend. business is business.

i do believe that no one here wanted to pull one over on the other. its hard to tell a book by its cover till you open the pages. either way, it kinda bites that this didnt pan out for you both. :(

id say the best thing to do is to save up for a brand new engine. youll know the history of said engine! get a second, third or fourth job if you really want it that bad.

I haven't been here long nor do i know either member, so i shall share my unbiased opinion.

You bought a USED block. What do you expect?

on that note, He's not willing to cooperate what so ever which seems a little on the fishy side to me.


Punisher, maybe you're getting too defensive.
and mustank, maybe you're taking this a little too far.

We're all (hopefully) responsible adults on here, if this thread continues like this it'll just get worse. I'm with burntire, put out the fire before it spreads. You two need to grow up and settle this dumb dispute. Punisher, he's obviously willing to pull more than his own weight to settle this. The least you can do is LOOK at the motor. I mean free beer, c'mon.

Threating to lock the thread is a way to keep things from going uncivil.

Thats all I ask.

I think everyone is right....I should not trust anyone. Morals in this world have hit an all time low. I mean come on. What have a done wrong. Besides trusting someones word about a product. Am I really that bad of a person.

Its up to him if he wants to solve it......

Going to have a beer and work on my car. Any one want to come over?

[johndeerrm]

Stop acting like he knowingly sold you a motor with issues.
