Is it not MY choice to send the money to you if you post items for sale? Absent what you believe I should do, your assertion was that I MUST inspect block and heads first and you refused payment. Mind you...this inspection revelation of yours didn't come until the 4th week after you posted the items for sale. If I want to pay you in full for something you have....and you refuse my money due to YOUR OWN PERSONAL FEELINGS, YOUR REFUSAL OF MY OFFER PAYING YOU IN FULL WAS CONTINGENT ON INSPECTING THE BLOCK FIRST. THAT CONTINGENCY YOU CHOSE SHOULD AT LEAST ACCOMMODATE A BUYER REASONABLE TIME TO INSPECT THE BLOCK AND HEADS...If your block and heads I found uncceptable...I am out on the money I sent...SIMPLE! I offered you the money for items you had as-is..why Doug? You said you needed the money for your engine build and I in good faith offered to send it ASAP in order for you to get that build going. Aside Doug, why send pics on Sunday then reply within minutes saying I would buy it yet AGAIN! (see the pattern here?).....How hard is that to understand? I offered to pay 9 days ago...I repeat (yet) again because I don't think common sense is a flower that grows in your garden....I offered to send you the FULL amount last week...I made 5 separate indications over the past 5 weeks that I wanted both and NEVER swayed. Another question...have you ever sold someone something here with or without pics? If so, they sent you payment correct? Did you require them to drive 3 hours to where you were to inspect or did you just mail it to them? Sans mailing the block/heads, why was sending you the money unacceptable? Why other than seeing the block different regarding this sale, yet acceptable for hundreds of other parts you've listed here?

You're right...the block isn't mine...yet I replied consistently and without delay to your PM's and emails, yet refuse payment and sell it the day before I agreed to pick up. Is your business model obtuse or that of a simpleton or lacking somewhere else? I don't mean to sound like a [censored]...but you really aren't the sharpest tool in the shed if that's how you do business with others.

A member here posted a wanted ad for an original Th400 dipstick and tube. I saw it and realized I had one and posted I would take $140 for it and we agreed. However...another member saw his post and my reply and he offered me 3 times the $140 via PM that day.
I don't have payment from member A...and member B offers me 3 times the $140. Well Doug...using your "modicum of business theory" that the engine and heads weren't mine...just as the dipstick and tube weren't his...I was honest about it and didn't screw a member over although I didn't have the money. How did I handle this? I honored my word of $140 and waited for the money to arrive. That is how you treat people.

I passed up a 428 4 bolt and 455 4 bolt over the past month making good on my word to buy it from you...that is why I am venting...and that's why I am pissed.

With that...Caveat Emptor....
