914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Help, Who, where is this member (spdfrk)

Posted by: turbo914v8 Oct 21 2005, 02:19 PM

Anybody know this member (spdfrk). I paid for some parts from him a long time ago. I have been e-mailing him forever with no response. I would just like to get my parts. If you know him please tell to check his e-mail.

Wasn't he a new member? I don't think I saw him anywhere except in the Classifieds.

I hope that isn't a bad sign.

i dont see how people can do such a thing. i personally would feel bad. And i like to get my stuff (products) out there, rather than keep it cluttering my living space

I met with this guy last spring to look at his project cars, in Seattle....he had them listed on Craig's List then. I didn't like what I saw, so I didn't buy anything from him. He seemed ok though...not a crook if not totally honest about his parts. His home life was unstable though...divorce and possible pending. I'll go back through my records and see if I can find a phone # , personal email or street address. I think he's also posted on Pelican...might search there too.

I seem to remember buying something from him. Don't remember any problems though.

Posted by: goose2 Oct 21 2005, 04:23 PM

His name is Alex...home phone WAS (206) 510-6419. I'm guessing he has moved since last spring, but this number may get you his ex-wife....which may be a good thing.

Remember never turn your back on the CLUB

Wasn't he the guy who didn't have access to the net and had to use his neighbors system? If he moved out, that might explain why he has been back on.

Of course, if you get ahold of his ex and tell her that he owe's you something, she might be very willing to give you any information she has on him.

I am sorry to say that I too was hung out to dry on this one. Yes, his name was Alex. I paid with paypal for a flywheel, but I ain't got no flywheel.

I got lots of excuses (health, ups lost it, etc) and now no response at all.
He even gave me a ups tracking number, but he set it up electronically and never dropped it off for shipment.

From now on: Newbie status equates to negative feedback in my book (at least when it concerns buying and selling).

donno. i sent money, i got parts.
just the one data point from me, but it's the one i got...

Posted by: bjorn jacobson Oct 21 2005, 06:55 PM

Paul,

I bought some Konis from him a few months ago. Got the shox although it did take a few weeks. I'm at work right now, when I get home I'll see if I can find any info on the box he shipped the parts in.

Thanks to everyone for you’re input and help in this matter. Hopefully it will get resolved, although at this point things don’t look good, but I will keep on trying. As a 914 owner you all know that I am poor and cannot afford to let this guy just walk away with my money . Hopefully someone will be able to get a number on this guy that works. Thanks again.
