+1 on this. They are unless when it comes to things like this. I would think it would be mail fraud, but not by their definition.

That's a bummer Bill, and I think you did the right thing by posting it. I ship cams regularly and have never been taken by a Model A guy. That's not to say I've never been shorted, just never by an A guy.

[Bill Stipe]

Thanks everyone for being so understanding, This is not the first time I have every been shorted ether and it won't break me but its just the principle of dishonesty that upsets me and maybe its because I myself would not treat anyone that way.
Well lets all hope for a great new year and no more snow for me wheres the warm weather? I think Jim Brierley needs to ship some from CA!! At least 55 to 60 degrees!

Just saw this. I will have to take a ride. He has millions of parts, full original Ford Dealer Service Tool boxes and just an unbelievable amount of Model A stuff.

Bill,

I am glad you posted. When I deal with some I don't recognize on fordbarn or HAMB I do a search on their name and look at the type of posts they have made. I am glad to know if I search on this guys's name your post will come up.

His neighbors houses all look neat and well kept. I'm surprised they haven't taken up a collection to buy him out and get rid of him.

Is there any one on the FB that will not take a Bank Check, Im not talking a personal check but one that is prepaid for and made out to the seller by the bank.
I ask this because a Barner just said he would not take a bank check only a money order and befor i could say ok ill send you a money order he sold the part to another person. Is there something i dont know about a bank check.
I have goten a lot of items off the barn and never had anyone till now refuse a bank check.
With all the problems with the USPS i would rather have a bank check. T.

Fake "bank checks" are now a favorite way for Nigerian (and other) scammers to rip you off. They are printed to look official. They are nothing but wallpaper.

The Nigerians make out the check for too much money and have you wire the excess to them. Then when the check eventually bounces (could take weeks) you are stuck with bad check fees and you are out the money you sent to them.

So now people are reluctant to take them.

Bill thanks for the alert. Hopefully someone that lives close by will alert him to this post and out of sheer embarrassment he will be shamed into paying his debt with interest and an apology.
Good luck my friend, Wayne

I wouldn't. It is very easy for payment to be stopped even after it has been deposited and credited to your account. I sold a an aluminum intake and two model 94 carbs with linkage to a guy in Florida a couple of years ago. The excuse was that somebody had hacked his bank account. By the time that I finally got my money, I wished that I had just kept the parts. I was just breaking even and lost money on the shipping . It was a part that had sit on a shelf in one of my storage buildings for a few years. The guy wanted the parts and I mostly sold them to help him out . Most good deeds don't go unpunished , so Deb says. I mostly just keep my stuff

[Mikeinnj]

File a lean on his house. When he goes to sell it he will not be able to until he pays the lein.

Bill,

I'm sorry that had a dealing with Russ. I can't think of anyone that has a good dealing with Russ. I know for a fact he has cheated Tams out of some money. From the story I heard from Eric at A's and more is that Joe stopped by Russ's house to get his money and Russ told him to leave or he would send the dogs out. Joe opened his coat revealing a shiny noise maker and Russ ended up giving him his money. He has swindled many people out of model A's and parts, and even offered to "restore" my fathers late '31 pickup. I heard one story of him getting screwed off Ebay actually. I don't remember how much money it was, but I chuckled. I don't trust him ,and if I saw him on my parents property I would shoot first and ask questions later. Again, I am sorry to hear that you had such a misdealing form such a prick.

The only thing is he has SO MUCH GOOD STUFF. He wouldn't part with it, and everything is worth thousands. And the stuff that was restored, but never picked up. It's still there.
In my case I wanted my rear hubs done. He quoted me $400 and 2 weeks. I called a few times to see how things were going. After a few calls, he will not answer. Then I left messages, let me pick up what is done. 10 months later I got 4 messages within an hour form him saying (then screaming) that it was done, and if I did not pick it up by 4 p.m. it's going in the scrap. He charged me $1,400.
A week later he calls to chat.

[Reds34]

He has so much good stuff because he steals it from people.
