I would hesitate to deal with this guy. I have been talking to him through PM's, texting and phone calls since Thursday about a vehicle he had for sale. He lives south of Jackson and I live in Fenton. Its about an hour and a half from his house to mine. Which is a decent drive if I was to drive all the way there then back. So through the discussions back an forth I asked him to meet me. So here is a run down of the time line on how this went.

Through PM's and texting on Thursday and Friday he sent me some more pics and I asked some basic questions about it. He quickly responded to all texts and PM's. I sent him a text on Saturday and he said he would be available all day on Sunday for me to look at it. I sent him a text about 4pm to ask him if noon would work on Sunday and if he could meet me half way. He responded about a half hour later with "were at the Michigan Renaissance festival in Holly..will text later". I don't know if he has ever looked at a map or not but Holly is right next to Fenton. He literally drove past my house to go there. I responded by telling him "no problem...are you driving it now?" He then told me he was driving it and if was near there its 2hours form his door all freeway. I the told him I am right next to holly and was wondering if he could stop by for me too look at it since he was up this way. He did not respond at all on Saturday.

Sunday morning he sent me a text informing me that the key way on the p/s pump stripped and he would take $1300 for it like that. I told him no problem I could fix it and asked if he still could meet me half way. He then sent me back a text to tell me he was going to take it to get it fixed this morning. I told him to not worry about fixing it because I could. He didn't answer back so I called him about 11am. During the phone conversation he told me that he should be done fixing it shortly and he had to pick his wife and kids up from church at noon. We agreed to meet half way and he would call me back after he picked them up.

Still no response from him at 12:30 so I called him with no answer and left a message. He never responded so through out the day I had called him and sent him a couple more text's and PM's. I still have not heard from him at all but just seen he posted that He traded the vehicle off.

So just to give everyone a fair waring be careful of this guy wasting a lot of your time.

Every negative feedback I have isn't from selling someone something ..its from not selling them because I can choose not to...which if I didn't sell the item to u then there was no transaction.


Am I a unfair seller? Yes ...am I a biased seller? yes... will I only sell if it benefits me? Yes .......will this thread affect me? No.....

I hate dealing with people that sell shit right out from under you. I knew a kid that had a decent 89 Chevy 2500 pickup that he was gonna sell me for $300 because he thought the motor seized up. I went and looked at it and with some tweaking around and a jump start I got it to start right up and it ran and drove perfect. Told him I'd be back in the morning with the $300 and offered him $50 for the time being so I know he'd keep it for me. He said don't worry about it will be here for you in the morning. Next day tried calling him all throughout the day and he ignored me. Eventually I showed up at his house (because I kinda knew him already) and he said he was sorry but the neighbor came over and offered $400 for it so he sold it. I told him I would have given him $500 or $600 cash if he would have called me and told me. He said he felt like a dumbass.
Was also my mistake for getting it to run in the first place. For $300 it was worth it if it didn't run.

It sounds like he had a Craigslist education(no answer, no show, back out unexplained). If the deal falls through because he is being an utter schmuck, he deserves every bit of bad feedback with no ability for retaliatory feedback. It is sad that some people act without integrity and we have need for feedback at all. Thanks to the moderators for their invaluable work in this issue and others to make this site work for all of us

Easy here........For who and what he might be, don't bring his kids into this. You wouldn't like that either.


Im saying yes he may be shady....But Talking shit about his wife...kids...sexuality...military service...threats doesnt make u better then him...Sure dont buy from him but at the same time why sink to that level?
Most of u have nothing to say but babble just to keep talking.

Kids are off limits here. His wife should be also, unless she posts on here then it's game on.

Your sexuality and how you handle your business is fair game. If he got called out for being a pita to deal with, too fuckin bad. What goes around comes around and apparently it seems to be making full circle.


His military record is not being made fun of, only questioned.

what's your point cumguzzler?

dude's shady and being called out on it, and then in return acting like a douchenozzle in return.

He simply needs to say you guys know what, I acted like a douche on multiple accounts and for tha tI am sorry. Instead he is taking the arrogant doucher route and only burying himself.

Nobody has threatened him, bullied him, or done a damn thing that is illegal.
