Re: A little problem with "A-P" member
Just to follow up on this from my perspective. This user came to my house, inspected the parts, and agreed to take them. He gave me cash, and took the parts. In my mind, at this point, it's like any Craigslist deal - someone comes and looks at the parts, and agrees to take them for an agreed price. Deal done and everybody is happy. I then get a message two weeks later that the parts won't work for him and he wants a refund. Because this isn't CL, and I try to look out for fellow truck guys, I offered a full refund if he wanted to return the parts. Apparently that's not good enough and he wants me to pay return shipping as well (even though I never shipped the parts to him). At this point, it's not a money issue at all for me - I don't make a living doing this - it's pure principle. In all my years of selling, I've never had someone come in person to buy something, then weeks later demand return shipping when they decide they don't want it. Stuff like this is why I've decided I'm just going to give away parts I don't need, like I've already done with several other board members.

Re: A little problem with "A-P" member
A-P, You didn't know that the Center Link was Year Specific other wise you wouldn't have Advertised it as fitting for a 68 truck like you did. Some parts can fit other years but then you have to understand about the parts other parts & items that make it all work. You advertised a 68 Center Link which happens to need 5/8" threads inner tie rods. What you sold me was a Center Link for a 71-72 C10 truck that uses a 11/16" threaded inner tie rods. LOOKING AT ONE CENTER LINK AND LOOKING AT ANOTHER CENTER LINK BOTH LOOK THE SAME, Its when you hookup all the other parts that go with it it is then you know what fits and what don't fit. I guess you didn't read my reply when I ask you does it "Positively" fit the 68 C10's and from the next post you came back with $50 hows that sound LMK. That in it self is admitting you had a part for a 68 C10 you thought. Your comment about the CraigsList thing well that's a place that gets away with ripping people off. You on the other hand belong to a Site/Forum that Strives its self in knowing and giving out the right answers. Bottom line here is you sold a part that does not work with a 68 C10, It was & is used for a 71-72 C10. You maybe made a honest mistake in really not knowing what your truck had on it when you stated it came off of your 68 C10 so it should fit any others 68 C10's BUT THE REALITY IS YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SELLING & WHAT YOU SOLD ME WASN'T THE RIGHT FITMENT FOR A 68 C10. I have taken it to some Auto Parts stores and had a 68 Tie Rod put on and guess what It Doesn't Fit. YOU WASN'T BEING HONEST IN WHAT YOU SOLD. MAN UP TO THE PROBLEM YOU CREATED. I have seen & read others having this same kind of problems & the original seller made it right in what ever cost it took.

You show up don't match it up with what you need and take the wrong part home you should cover return costs and you should also get your cash back when its returned. If he took it off a 68 its a damn good assumption it fits 68 trucks. I think in the end as knowledgeable as you are on the part as you state above you actually didn't know what you were buying. Even after seeing it, not checking it and knowing the thread sizes as you state above you took it anyway so don't lay all the blame on him. Your half owner in this problem as you call it. |

Re: A little problem with "A-P" member
Ok I see that you asked him if it was a "positively 68" part, but it seems that he never replied that it was "positively" a 68 part or not so accusing him of selling parts without knowing what he actually had is a little harsh. He never said if it WAS or WAS NOT for a 68, only that he had originally purchased them for a 68. So in his mind he may have thought that it was for a 68 as well. The part didn't fit so in my opinion I would ship it back to the seller at my cost and have him send you your $50 in the mail at his cost.

Let's look at this from another point of view. I'm cruising through a pick-pull auto wrecking yard and find a 68 C10. COOL! I need this center link. I pull it and go home. Later I discover that it doesn't work, because some previous owner put the wrong one on. I then take it back for refund/exchange. Do I stomp and throw a fit because they won't pay me for my gas? My local yard won't even give me cash back! Only store credit for future purchase. I think this was an honest misunderstanding. Nobody stole your horse. I would list it for sale, and move on. Have you proven for sure that it is 71-72 if you re-sell it to someone else? If you think you have been defrauded, go to small claims court. |

Re: A little problem with "A-P" member
Wow No comment Dude. Bottom line is I am out of around a $100 bill from someone that lied to me & any other board member or registered user that was following his Thread. But later he did say he didn't know what the part happened to really be for, I guess in some of you guys eyes that's OK, I don't see it that way. People used to Shake Hands on a Deal and that was it & that was your word. He is lucky he doesn't live in the Eighteen Hundreds, they hung Horse Thief's.
