Forget the drama... For a minute...

If the crank shipped in that box, you should check to make sure it's not bent...

Just to share my experience, Danny made good on a mirror I bought from him. The first one shipped was locked-up, but he sent me another that was adjustable, although the glass was not in great shape.

He then sold me a complete GA 2.0 engine. After many phone calls, e-mails and excuses. Danny finally shipped an old EA 1.7 block to me. There was no misunderstanding because I have docuented e-mails specifying a GA case number and pictures of the motor.

I filed a complaint with Paypal (pushing the deadline) and jumped through their hoops which included getting a 3rd party "expert mechanic" to confirm the serial number was incorrect. Easily done with a small item, but not an engine block. Paypal made me return the block at my expense to get my money back. When the engine got back to PA, Danny refused delivery saying the address was incorrect. Paypal initially would not refund my money and after spending many hours on the phone with Paypal, reason finally triumphed and I got my money back and my losses were a few hundred for the shipping and about 3 months of aggravation.

I feel like I almost got suckered in by the mirror to get hit with a bigger deal. But that's just speculation and I'm not sure what Danny's real intent was.

I hate to say anything negative, but I guess we need to look out for each other since it's so easy to rip people off with e-commerce.

Again, consistency is the secret to building a business. Do you want to pay $40 for some sunvisors and then get stiffed on the $1200 engine you try to buy next? It's a crap shoot...

I guess you are right and I was lucky. I never would have guessed there was a problem with this seller from my experience. I didn't know anything was up till I saw almost a whole pages of items for sale and the moderator had suspended the the guys account. Really a shame some of you had a bad experience.

I bought some parts from Danny and they were fine. I think he is related to Charles Hunter who I've also purchased parts from. I might have just gotten lucky but I've purchased three things from him and his dad (if Charles is his dad).

the site is still "validating" his new effort. same IP as before.

Just a quick update... the member Jennys914 is most likely Danny/Florence/whatever name he's using today. This member was claiming to be in Washington, NJ... just a short distance from Danny/Flo/whatever in Pennsylvania.

He/she/it is no longer posting on 914world and ads have been removed. Please do not send this person money.
