This guy has not been active for almost a month on this site.

He sent me some parts and some extras that I did not ask for and I even offered to return them.

He did not send one part, which was the sway bar bushing and clamp and two bolts for a driver's side 200SX.

He sent me the sway bar connecter to the control arm. I offered to send back this part and the others that I did not ask for and he declined that and claimed he would send me the part I asked for in the thread and many times via PM.

Be wary, he is a little fucking liar in my book until something changes.

He did not steal from me but he is a liar, so fuck him.

Get 'em Kyle!

I almost got some foglights from him.. Good thing I didn't..

More and more often whenever I see people with a join date that is a few months ago, I highly doubt I trust them or listen to them. The longer you have been here, typically, the more trustworthy you are. That is just how this community is. Self-preservation at its finest.

Seriously, something has to be done about members joining just to sell items. Don't think it'll end either if it keeps going at this rate.

Kyle, I have been following that line of thought for a while. I only do business with folks that have been on our forum(s) for a very long time. That may suck for the newbies, but they are the ones with something to prove. The longer you have been here, and are active, the more confidence I have in doing business with you via long-distance. Common sense or bias, it is what it is.

I would support a post count or time-frame metric to deter this kind of naked opportunism at the expense of real members. That sucks man because sway bar hardware is kind of a bitch to replace.

Generally new guys have to meet me up in person or demonstrate a long history somewhere else. The last big risk I took was my turbo kit from a guy with a good history on g20.net and it worked out but he had a few heads vouching for him.

I agree with this. Why don't we do this?

because it can mean that older people who arnt as internet savy who genuinly have good/rare parts to sell dont come on to sell said items.. or you end up with people spamming to get there post count up...

So we continue to allow masses of young scammers come on and dip out because an old guy might show up with a genuine VET or N1 engine? I don't agree.

Older people tend to join and lurk. They also have the patience to do things the right way.

Kyle works very hard on his car and in participating here. I hate to see good members get burned. We all do.
