I made a deal with bluefordpinto in November on a steering column, set a price, exchanged addresses, and I thought the deal was done. Good o' stupid me shipped him the steering column before I received payment. He emailed me saying the column arrived and that he was exceptionally happy because the paint matched and that all he would have to do is bolt it in. Great for him but I still haven't received payment for the column and it is now the end of March. After several emails and PM's asking for payment, my requests have been ignored. So now I'm out a good steering column and about $16 in shipping costs. It is partially my fault for shipping before receiving payment but I recommend to all of the honest pinto owners here not to do business with bluefordpinto. If by chance he wants to correct the situation and pay for the column as agreed, this thread will disappear.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, not going to happen.

OK Bluefordpinto,
I have been in this same situation B4.
Pay-UP and all is forgiven....
Do not let this get out of hand.
If you have a "your side" of the story?
Lets hear it with out getting RUDE!!!
We know sometime money gets tight.
I personally would hate to loose a member over a few bucks.

turbo, and pintony, yes there is a "my side to the story" the steering column was not for my car, it was for a former friend of mine who said he sent you the money order, and then skipped town, im sorry you havent received payment yet, as for that, i guess i will have to eat the cost, and send you the $70 my idiot friend owes you, because it will be alot easier for me to go to him and break his legs, instead of you, so turbo, ill have it sent to you right away, and once again i appologize for the inconvieniance ...just for shits and kicks, whats your address again? once again terribly sorry. :sorry:

bluefordpinto: PM Sent

I can relate to the story 77. A ebay auction that i won but when payment time came around i ran out of money... :look: Soo i emailed him to let him know of the situation and he said fine. I recieved the part a few days later without paying and good feedback. :surprised: I then told him that i got the part and said that id still only be able to pay when i could. He said "whoops , my bad! "
I dont think i could have slept thinking that i wasnt going to pay him. I finally payed when i could a week later.

Hope you get your Cash! .... Come on blue...!

I just received a PM from bluefordpinto saying that he is sending the money Saturday. He is covering his so called friends backside by stepping up. Thank You bluefordpinto.

Man, I feel for you 77turbowagon, I know when I first read this post I didn't make mention of my dealings with this person (blefordpinto or FREIND) but I was contacted by him or her about a full set of Ign. & Locks with keys. As it turns out the box I had put everything in got burried and it slipped my mind. For once "Short Term Memory Loss" paid off!!!

any update on this situation?

p84 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 23, 2007, 07:51:10 AM »

I think this site should have a "POOP" list. I reciently have restored a 78 and bought many parts off this site. I can't say enough about all the great people I've come in contact with. Whats so hard about being honest, if you buy a part, PAY FOR IT. No bull---t excusess about a "I bought it for a friend" or any thing else. I go to car shows and brag about how great the site and the people are on it. So, its a great place, lets have a "POOP" list, and ignore the dishonest basta--s, and live happily ever pinto. P84 has spoken.

No update and expect the situation to go unchanged.

Thanks p84 for your comment and I agree that we need a "poop" list.

turbowagonman · « **Reply #17 on:** July 23, 2007, 06:02:33 PM »

Well think about it.......with just this one post about bluefordpinto being so bad even if he looks on this site at all do you think he would have the cohnoes to even post? I know if I did see a recent post from him I would slam the he!! out of him on that post!
All of us "Pinto People" stick together because we all have car's that are just not around anymore

and when someone pulls one over on a fellow Pinto Person we get even. That's just not cool!!!!

Mean People SUK

also to be considered... easy to change user name/email address and pretend he's a new member... or just contact someone direct for a part they are offering without using his FordPinto user name. Perhaps his real name and the city/state he resides in should be posted. I would hate to offer something for sale and have this person offer to by it. Would be a little harsh to post his home address and phone # and that should be avoided. However, I think we should all have the oppertunty to avoid this person if at all possible.

bob55 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 23, 2007, 09:50:22 PM »

I agree with you about needing an additional way to verify if someone's a deadbeat or just a plain a*****e, and like you said it's easy to contact someone outside of the message board, and just email and say "A friend of mine says you have......" The klondikes are few and far between, but it only takes one to really leave a sour taste!

He came back the first time to attempt to defend himself because I found him on MySpace and told him he ought to take a look at the site again. Maybe I should try again?

I was thinking of doing the same thing last night as I was looking at his myspace account.

bob55 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 24, 2007, 09:51:20 PM »

It can't hurt to give it a try.....I did something of the sort a few years back when I got ripped off. I'd sent payment for parts, first he had a family emergency, then a storm, then his car was broken into on the way to UPS.....it took over a year, but I finally got cash back in the mail, 100%.

douglasskemp · « **Reply #23 on:** July 25, 2007, 12:45:52 PM »

77turbowagon,
Did you want me to contact him through MySpace, or would you prefer to do it yourself? I will wait to hear from you before I do anything since this really is between the two of you. Realize of course that I have no problem being a moderator of sorts if you deem it necessary.

Well I'm not to fimilar at all with myspace and I'm sure it's not dailup friendly. I've pretty much accepted that I'm not going to see a dime from this guy so if you want to go ahead. I really do appreciate all of y'alls support on this matter. To bad it couldn't be resolved but I believe this guy has already made up his mind that he isn't going to pay up no matter how much he's nagged about it.
Thanks guy for the Support.

FYI, I just sent a message. Waiting for response. Will post if/when I get one.
