Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

I hate these "***** sessions", but...he got his money refunded and just kept my new parts, instead of returning them, as promised. I am out over $200!
I sold him new PUI seat covers, at a low price, and he didn't like them--after a shop tried to install them. I contacted PUI and of course they wanted to see them before doing anything.
So I did him a favor and returned his money immediately without getting the covers first. He said he needed it real bad. He promised to send the covers to PUI. It's been two months. Lots of PMs and every time he has a new "deal" for me.
1. Now he wants to keep the covers and fix them, instead of returning.
2. Then he wanted them at my cost.
3. Then he wanted them at $100 below my cost.
OK...I agreed to each of his "deals", because I hate to drag this on forever.
4. Well, it's been a couple more weeks and he just doesn't pay.
I hope no one else get's caught up in one of his "deals".
NOTE: I have pics of the work his shop did---really bad. They charged him $150 (we pay $300-400 for good bucket cover installs)

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

Yeah, that definiely sucks. Some people are just plain worthless. I would say he should give you what he paid for them. Will make sure to remember him.:devil:

Sorry to Hear about That, Not Every one on Here is who they Pretend to Be...........

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

Sorry as well, but most around are good folks...

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

Issue is we have had several complaints about this user. No one other then Frank would post it. Frank has gone above and beyond in this situation and still got screwed over.
I hate that it happened, but look forward to bryans explanation of why he feels he should keep the item and the money publicly. Usually I would just off a user for whats gone on here.. I was hoping Bryan would step up and do right in this case..

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

I never posted anything about him since no money ever traded hands. However, he has shown very poor salemanship on this board. Enough to insure that I will NEVER do business with him, even if it's free parts and was my neighbor...

1. My issue with bryanschevyparts was when he was selling a set of buddy buckets. They were in ok shape and his final asking price was $300-325. Hart_Rod was looking for seats only and I was looking for a frame. So within the thread we all agreed to split the cost of the seats, pay for shipping with our own FEDEX account and bryan could keep the center seat and resell, thus making more money than he would have selling them whole. Then all of the sudden the entire thread was gone, erased. Once we finally contacted him he stated that "it was becoming to much of a hassle to ship and he's tired of dealing with the issue". This is after he told us he would ship, thankfully we never sent him money...

2. He then makes a post on the parts board telling us that he posted his seats on Ebay, no link or shortcut. Then continues to brag how he got $800 for them...

I suggest to avoid at all costs, he's one of the few board members that I will never do business with.

I would post the link but it was erased as well....

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

i see bryanschevyparts in the parts forum alot..

i hate hearing about bad deals because this site is the only place on the internet that i feel safe giving somebody money and believing that they will send it..

and i believe the same goes for most other people on this board.

hopefully this gets worked out

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

my bad... he's still selling them...

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

I won't pile on, since MSGROSS explained what happened to him and I. I've had a lot of great transactions on this board and 99.99% of the people on here have outstanding character (UnderHaulin, ILIKE72s' just to mention a few). I won't let one person's lack of character and now credibility, ruin my experience with this board. Bryan, best of luck to you, just remember, you can only burn so many bridges.

I Had a Similar experience with a Thread being erased, I wish we had some System to Keep that from Happening...............

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

As do I. The issue is if we eliminate the possibility of deleting threads, then edits etc are not able to be done by members. One thing to keep in mind is, even though a user deletes a thread or even edits one.. it is not gone. Admins have the ability to view all deletes.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

I don't know all the details with each of these deals, but................. I drove up there to Mn and baught a cab from Bryan. It was just as nice as he said it was. He told me about the shanannigans a couple of the members tried pulling on the buddy buckets buy thing. It sounds like to me that they were trying to steal them from him and trying to get away with it. Now don't go flaming me here, I'm not naming names or anything. Not like I can, I only heard one side of the story and it isn't my buisness. But I can say that I have seen the same board member he mentioned banderently low balling guys in the parts section all the time. Again, I don't know all the detailsin these situations, but I think there is more to the story than what is brought out here, maybe not by the first poster, I can't remember what reasoning Bryan had for that deal. I met him, he is a nice honest guy. He told me everything about the cab before I left town and I even baught a door from him as well. But like I said, I don't know all details. I just don't want to see a good board member vanished over BS. Just my 2 cents. I hope you guys can get whatever handled on the upholstery, and maybe the other dudes can forget about the buddy seat split deal.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

There are two sides of the story. Maybe you should get both before calling BS. PM sent.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

I realize there are 2 sides of the story hence my post said there are 2 sides of the story. I don't need to get both sides of the story because I really don't want to be in the missle of it. But I got your PM and I repiled as well. No hard feelings, and I said shannigans and in the end of my post and called BS at the end. I didn't call you out, just gave my experience with this board member because this thread will turn into a dog pile soon. These type of threads usually do. I just gave my 2 cents to maybe salvage any chance this user may have of trying to ammend something with the original poster. But IDK. Hope it gets worked out.

No worries Ryan, we're good. I too, hope this gets resolved and I apologize for stealing PICKMUP's thread.

Same here, sorry for hijacking.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

Just to add a little credibility. I personally have never bought or sold anything to or from Bryan. I did have a chance to meet him in person as irode along the trip with dieselwrencher. He had a great first impression and was very enthusiastic and honest guy. His hospitality when we arrived was sensational. We all get caught up in bad deals at some point, and we just have to shrug them off and call it water under the bridge.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

The admins have the ability to view and restore if they wanted. :smoke:

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

hopefully this is a misunderstanding and will be worked out between the two.

as far as price negotiations/what ever you want to call it, i believe negotiation is part of game. if a part is FS for 40.00 shipped and you offer 30.00 shipped the seller can accept or deny, i would not consider the prospective buyer to be considered cheap, or trying to lowball someone. if a seller posts an ad, he/she should expect all kinds of offers/trades etc. if the seller cannot handle this kind of activity, then they need to list in the ad as such (will not ship, no trades. prices are firm, not seperating etc.)

Sorry for the threadjack Frank.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

after 6 years I am aware of how it works ;) but thanks.. we do not restore threads unless there is a legal reason to do so.

I am glad to see folks stepping up for bryan as well. After getting complaint after complaint, for many weeks, its nice to see some good. If thats the case, then perhaps he will step up and fix the issues at hand. I

hey pickmup i would love to see the pictures of the botched install for my shops "wall of install shame"

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

It is my understanding that negotiations are not part of the site. If my faded memory is correct...A FS price is fixed and we are not to try and renegotiate the price or make negative comments about the price. The above Buddy Bucket deal to me would be the exception to the rule as they were trying to split up the seats verses negotiating the price down. Just a thought? Not trying to hi-jack the thread but wanting to make a point about selling. I wish all could be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Tis the season you know?

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

I have dealt with bryan before....I bought a new glove box emblem from him.....I paid for it and it did take a long time to get it, but it was a very nice item.....PICKMUP, I hope you get your money for your items back....It's a shame that a person would take advantage of your kindness by returning his money before getting your covers first....That sir is a stand up way of doing business.....I just hope it doesn't bite you.....

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

I'm new to the board but not playing with trucks! The first time I delt with Bryan I bought over 800 dollars of parts all for a fair price. I have met him in person and he did not give me any kind of vibe that he was trying to hustle me? I got the feeling he is hooked on these trucks like most of us. I still am buying parts from him now as I work on my latest project. Hope your seat deai gets resolved to your sasitifaction before this thread gets personal. I thought I should let others know that I had a positive experience.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

I have been reading all of the posts that have been posted to this thread and I can't but feel really disapointed . I started rebuilding my truck's a couple of years ago, and was pleased when I found this forum for myself and others to talk, buy, sell, ect. I have had very few unpleasant experiences on this board. Most everyone that I have had conversations or transactions with, have been great and I feel they would say the same about me. As for this post, people name-calling (half of them don't know me and I have never dealt with before), and people saying I have built a bad reputation, I can only say that they are wrong. I bought the seat covers with the expectation that they were quality. I thought this because I was told that they were. When I recievied them, paid to have them installed and they looked horrible, I was not mad, I did not call him names or bad mouth him. When I talked to Frank and sent multiple pics to let him know the situation, he agreed. He agreed that they were crap, he agreed that it was the covers that were poor quality and not the install. Anyone with a brain knows the paying a good price doesn't nessesarlly mean poor workmanship. If this were the case, paying decent money for the seat covers would mean I would have recievied something decent. Frank agreed to a refund, but there was still the fact that I paid money to have crap installed on my seats and would have to pay more money to have them taken off. I have probably drug my feet a little making a decision on what I do at this point, because now I have money put into something. Frank claims that we had a number of little deals set up, and thats not true. Frank was throwing ideas at me to close the deal. A deal I didn't create, he did. I never said yes to any of these little deals. I am so sick and tired of the situation. When this all started and I realized what I paid for, I was dissapointed but I just figured thats the way it goes sometimes. When I read this post I was pissed for the first time in the whole situation. He can recreate everything in his own words, but the bottom line is.... they are his words. He can twist them to make them say anything he wants. As for everyone jumping in and throwing logs on the fire, it is easy to pick a side when you only have one side to choose from. None of you heard the other side of the story and had no problem talking s$@*. I want this done with and can't believe how far it's been taken. I have no problem paying Frank the amount that we agreed on. i will pay him tomorrow. I would really appreciate if frank would post the pics of the covers so that everyone that seems to know me and think I am shady can really see what we all have been talking about. I am really interested to see if everyone that puts time, money, and hard work into their truck projects would be happy with what I am stuck with. I will be on here first thing tomorrow ( Sat, Dec 6) and hope that we can settle this finally and move on.
MSGROSS/hartrod...............the buddy buckets were never for sale separate and I never agreed to the deal that was proposed ( to part them out). I had them listed how I wanted to sell them and when nobody was interested in them as one piece I pulled the listing because I was being bombarded with questions and people wanting more pics. I couldn't keep up and didn't have the time. Are we done yet ???

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

I don't know the details of the "buddy seat deal," but I do know that Bryan provided honest, great service to me. I have been buying stuff online for quite some time via ebay. My ebay ID is rmsmithsantacruz. I have dealt with over 1000 people online. (See my feedback) http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...=p3911.c0.m198

My point in this is that compared to all of my dealings on ebay, Bryan has come across as one of the most honorable of the people with whom I have dealt online. He could have easily taken my money and never sent my item; but he didn't. Furthermore, based on my many correspondenses with him in regards to our transaction, I had no reservations about sending him my money, or fears of not getting my product. I have dealt with many people and I can smell a rat a mile a way. Bryan, my brothers, is not one of those people whom cannot be trusted. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

But like I said, I do not know what has gone on with the deal on which this thread is based, but I can honestly envison Bryan as being a stand-up kind of person. With honest, open communication, I know it can be resolved. I hope this all gets worked out.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

If that was the case then a simple "sorry, but they aren't being seperated" statement would have been nice. What did we get? We got no response for a day or two and a deleted thread, this was after you pm'd us and asked us to make you an offer. You can't deny any of that.

Then we find another posting selling them again...

Then another posting in the parts board stating that you put them on ebay, with no link... and then bragging that you sold them for $800... this after a few people showed interest in paying your asking price... what happened to that thread? DELETED... again..

As I stated, all I was dissapointed in was the way it was all handled. If someone won't ship then state, "NO SHIPPING", if they won't negotiate then state "PRICE FIRM" and if they won't part something then "WILL NOT PART" will suffice. I can't see how anyone would be upset with any of those responses...

I hold no hard feelings against you, and wish you the best with your sales.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

I knew the whole, story.. both sides.. as did Josh. In the end you have the seats, and the money. Thats screwing someone over no matter how you look at it. It does not matter though, as you know the truth inside :)

This has gone as far as you have allowed it to. This mediation that we are stuck in with you all has been going on for weeks. Had you sent him the money or the covers, you would not be in this situation at all. If you have no problem paying him, then why in the heck have we been stuck in the middle of this for over a month? Please, do whats right... As far as not keeping up and not having time, then why are you still selling? I hope you do send out the parts you have going now in a timely manner.

we likely would be done with this if a few things did not happen.
1. we did not get multiple complaints on your selling that had to be dealth with.
2. threads were not deleted and restarted (it is a scamming practice) though it is your prerogative to do so if you wish
3. this whole seat deal was done months ago, instead of wasting my and Josh's time and energy with it.. when you say now you have no issue paying.
4. If I would stop getting forwarded PMs from folks where you have been PMn them ASKING them to post here about your dealings. You sent out all those messages, you continued this on.

After seeing that, knowing the other "shady" deals, and knowing how long this had been going on with Frank. I really would recommend you look up QBQ and read it.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

pm sent to frank =pics of the seats .

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

Just for the record, I have paid for the seats. I paid for them in the very beginning. Frank refunded my money when they were bad. I don't like the insinuation that I have some grand plan to get things for free and don't pay for things. I have said that I am willing to pay for the covers and be done with it. I don't know why you would encourage people to take things out of context by posting bits and pieces of a thread, except to create drama. I am sure Frank has read this and I want him to know I want to conclude this. pics=money

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

I figured I would go head and post them for Frank.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

Frank.you have paypal thanks Bryan

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

ugggg, those are crappy fitting/ installed.....i know nothing of this story, untill now.....and i see both sides.... bryan is out money cause he paid to have them installed, and is gonna have to pay more to have them un-installed......and frank is out money cause he refunded you, and you kept the $$ and the covers... my thoughts are this, frank did what was right and PROMPTLY refunded you the $$ with the expectation of getting the crappy covers back, and/or the manufacture would get them back...i understand the situation, and your beef should be between the manufacture, not frank....id see if i could recoupe your $$ lost for all the installs/un-installs becaue of their covers.....and if they refuse, frank should drop their products...... just my thoughts....

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

i have sent Frank his money back.

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

you did good, now both of ya'll need to contact the manufacure, and get compensated for ya'll time/$$.....im not flameing either of ya'll, you guys both did good..

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

Thanks Liz & Josh for all your time on this issue.
Here is a link to some nice CST buckets with the same PUI covers for comparison. Good shops do good work! http://ads.auctionads.com/pagead/lin...3AIT&viewitem=
...and here are a few more pics of the install on Bryan's seats.
I accepted Bryan's "Deal" of $156 payment (My cost was $229).
If anyone ever doesn't like a part they get from me, I will always refund their money. If you get a part that you think isn't built right, contact the manufacturer and see if they can make it right/better.
I contacted PUI immediately and provided the pics. They questioned the install because of all those being sold and used. I even offered to provide them with a full set of seats and new repro foams to use to re-evaluate their covers. I did not want to post this thread...Bryan did!

Re: Bad Deal with bryanschevyparts---
 

if you guys look close at the pics in franks link ,that is what i should have received .notice the EXTRA pieces that cover the hinge area !! then compare the pics of the seat covers i have...you be the judge??
