@914xprs (aka Terry)
I definitely did not mean to start a bashing thread on you and apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused you. I only inquired if others had heard from you recently, and I posted right away when I did hear back.
There is definitely some mixup though on the lenses, and from my eyes it's partly porbmw's fault...
@porbmw:
You referred to how you posted that you paid for the lenses in post #5 above. It took me several reads to find the part where it said you paypal'd for them already. If you managed your posts to not look like they were part of an earlier quote it would have saved me from paying for something that you already purchased. If you reply to something, don't type in the part that is surrounded by the QUOTE tags, or your reply will look like part of the quote and no one will see it.
@914xprs
In all of my communications with you I referred to the lenses as euro/french because you described them in this ad at the top as euro lenses and then someone else explained that they were french. So that is what I inquired about and paid for. If porbmw is getting them, then I will need a refund. Sorry if this causes you any more grief Terry. If porbmw has backed out of the deal (not 100% clear on what he did or didn't do with stopping payments) then I'll still be happy to take them. Let me know either way.
thanks,
dug

You are absolutely right.
I should have replied correctly. Frankly, I'm hoping THIS reply is done in the correct manner. I am computer illiterate. Hopeless. I can type and that is about it. I am unfamiliar with this format on these threads, and I expect I will screw up more than once before I get the hang of it.
My apologies for burying the Reply advising 914xprs and the 914World that I'd sent payment.
I had thought the item would then be deleted from the listing...it wasn't, and I probably should have noted that to Terry.
History.
I do wish to still acquire them....so would appreciate if Terry would reimburse you on that one.
TO TERRY
I don't want this in any way to get into a pissing contest. We all scramble thru the day to get thru it....and hopefully get some time and money to spend on our personal hobbies..which in my case and presumably yours happens to be little mid engined cars (old ones) made by Porsche.
Your emails and responses were all courteous, and prompt. You did ME a favor by agreeing to ship the windshield, which I am sure is a PITA.
Canuck gettin the better of me, I had a beer over lunch, to figure out what to say. Pardon any screw ups from here on in.
I did NOT mean it to be a favor to me that you cash a personal cheque (that's how we Canucks spell it). I meant it to be a means of you not having to absorb those bloody paypal fees. Things usually are tight. I'd MUCH rather having one of us benefit, than some corporate entitey.
In the end, you probably spent more money on gas than the fees would have cost, so my regrets.
When you responded to inquires from Hawaii ragarding parts that hadn't been sent, and didn't respond to euro lens clarification and the like, little alarm bells started ringing.
If you'd keep in mind (not necessarily having been there, I just have been screwed big time of ebay purchases...and had NO security re any monies I'd sent to you) so I PMed you....and without any response called my beloved U.S. Bank, the one that charges 30 bucks for every stop payment, whether successful or not...and asked that they stop payment. Never done before and hopefully never 'gain. Didn't know status and had to take whatever steps available to CMA....cuz we're talking a few hundred bucks. DID send you a PM....and had to wait the fallout.
So
Do NOT intend to piss in your cornflakes.
I am a 14er going back to the 70s...for me, and for my now 20 year old
Want to keep this fun, for me, my child, you, et al....
Want to be straight up. Am straight up.
I screw up daily. Just axe my kids.
I am assuming you'll get in touch;
Sorry for any misunderstandings...that's the beauty/disadvantage of cyberworld. We've never met, you don't know me from @#$@#$ ./
I'm at 604 264 8386 weekdays.
If you need to get in touch, please call me during the week (no sense in involving my wife in this ....."rolling eyes icon").
I'm grateful for the offer (which I accepted to buy and have shipped the windshield.) Obviously the personal cheque (sic check) was a fiasco. Please notify "dug" re the lenses....
And re the windshield...IF you are alright with it, I'll do a Paypal this time, with your estimate of paypal fees included, and you can send the entire package. If not, then the lenses only, with no hard feelings.
"Git er done".
This is a tough enough arena without the drama.
Take care.
BTW. I reference you re roof issues.....I hear you on that, literally and figuratively. Roof job last summer, still not done right.
TO 914World
Good group. l I really appreciate the props to Terry/family....
Have a lot of laughs/entertainment reading the banter...not going to ruin that with this minor misadventure.
I'm a done!
Thanks.
Paul
