Guys,
I bought a quarter-panel from gogoporsche on ebay a few months ago. I paid promptly, he never shipped it. He basically waited out the protest period with lies about shipping problems and then stopped responding. If you like your money don't deal with him. He is apparently imploding because I am starting to get messages from others he had defrauded. Look out! |

I guess I should be grateful for recieving ANYTHING from Vince. I had previous dealings with him that were fine. I bought a rear deck lid from him for $50 off Evilbay. He agreed to ship it. I know shipping a body part as big as a hood is a PITA, so I offered to pay him $50 for packing it securely in a heavy cardboard box w/ styrofoam and taking it to Greyhound. This was over and above the actual Greyhound shipping charge of $87.
I asked him if he had any other nice, rustfree rear deck lids and he said he had several. I agreed to pay him $75 for the 'extra' rear deck lid. Everything regarding the entire transaction is documented via email. I paid him by Money Order with Bidpay, which meant he got his money almost immediately. Almost 2 months after he was paid and endless excuses later, I finally lost my patience and asked him when he planning on shipping my parts. About a week later, he FINALLY shipped the lids. When the parts arrived, I was disguted to see that the deck lids were only wrapped in one layer of cardboard with absolutely NO PACKING MATERIAL WHATSOEVER!!!!! He didn't even tape the sides closed!!!!! The 'nice', Evilbay decklid was rustfree as described, but the entire center was bowed in about 4" from lack of packing material. The dent popped back out, but now has a nasty crease at the rear edge that will probably require several hours of metal work to get it right. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) The 'other' $75 deck lid was not rust free as described, but was in fact a rusty piece of (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) Naturally, the rusty one wasn't dented. Figures. I called him several times to voice my displeasure (to put it mildly) and, of course, he didn't answer or call me back. Soooo.... Negative feedback is dispensed. I also tell Vince that he has been reported to the FBI's Internet Fraud Unit. It takes them a little while , but they actually do follow up on complaints such as these. I don't have to do squat! I hope he enjoys his money...in PRISON! |

I think you got screwed on the shipping too....i sent a front hood from North Dakota to Tennessee and it was only $35 via Greyhound |
