It's too bad that Shadow essentially threw away one of the best internet families over pocket change. He had many, many chances to just come clean. That's the problem with compulsive liars - they actually start believing the BS that comes out of their mouths.

I am always amazed at the integrity of everyone here. What is it about these cars that attracts honest hard-working people to them? :)

At least Vinnie got lame excuses. I'd prefer that to total silence and no communication from the seller.

And your seller will be losing classifieds access as well.

Here's a little story that took place in early 2009;

I was looking for some complete, uncut fuel lines for a V8 Bird/Cougar. Vinnie found some, we agreed to wait till my payday then I would send him the money. In that waiting period, I had a couple of days off of work for a minor surgery, and Nicole decided to take me out of town the day after the outpatient visit to go eat at a nice place. On the way there, I saw my Sport that's in my sig. Long story short, I wrote a check that I was barely able to cover...at the expense of Vinnie and those fuel lines. I left him holding the bag, and understandably, he was mad. I could tell through the PM's and the conversations we had....but to his credit, he did later business with me. Vinnie is a class act...I'm waiting for the day that I can repay his kindness and consideration for the debacle over those fuel lines...I feel like I still owe him.

As far as the subject of this thread goes, he knew what Vinnie was going to do with those little wheels and tires, yet he sent absolute junk anyway (not in a timely manner, either) and now he won't refund the money. It sure has been quieter here since he's not posted. I kind of like it, not reading his opinions of Chevy, LS engines, or this or that in everyone's threads. And...I hope karma is especially unkind to him and others like that.

So Vinnie...I feel like I owe ya, even though it was a few years ago now...whatever you need, if/when I find it, consider it yours. :)

It really sucks you're still having to put up with this from him Vinnie! I did at least get my money back from him after putting up with pretty much the same excuses he's been giving you. One thing he's proven his self good at is excuses and not accepting blame.

Is it too late to give him a negative feed back? If I had done it in the first place Vinnie might not have had to go through all this. Sorry Vinnie, I guess I was trying to be nice and dropped the ball. My thread got burried and of course he rejoined under a different name so I guess there's a chance it still could've gotten missed. But if it's not too late I'll leave it under both names to try and save someone else the same fate. Of course if he's smart he'll stay away on his own.

Don't ban him, then he will just come back in a year or two with a different email, and do the same thing. Leaving him banned from the classifieds is the only way to go.

If you post it, post in the same thread Vinnie did. I'm planning a consolidation of the Feedback forum, and each user will have 1 thread, and not a dozen different ones.

If it's the thread he first started then I guess I already did. I had posted the link to my thread in there as well. If everyone would use the feedback score in the upper right hand side for good or bad feedback, (myself included), you wouldn't need to go through all that. I was trying to be nice before but since he pulled the same thing again I thought I should see if it was too late to put it on there or not.

Chuck, how about just locking the feedback area in the ad section so no one can post in it anymore? That way they have to use the correct feedback area?

....IF they would use it in the first place.

Banning shadow would not have any effect, as he'd just come back under a new name (like he has already done). No, it's better to have Vinnie's post with his real name, so people will know not to deal with him (if they bother checking the feedback before buying)

I too back in 2009 needed some parts that Vinnie had for sale in the classifieds knowing that I didn't have enough to pay for them right that minute I talked to Vinnie and we agreed for me to make payments until they were paid for, I paid them off and Vinnie sent my parts. Everything with Vinnie has been a good experience and even right now we are in a deal where I am holding parts for him and he's making payments to me. This really burns my ass to see him get ripped off, and not just because its Vinnie.. I'd still be pissed if it was anyone else here.

I would add to that name the first one on the old account he had...

and honestly....as soon as we figured out who he was under a new name, it would get real ugly for him around here...

It really HAS been quiet without him. His mom must have put him in a time out or something.
