i agree ive only been on the forum for under a month but to hear fellow coupe lovers are cheating each other is sad to think we cant help each other out without stabbing eachother in the bk i think its childish i work my ass off as a 21 year old to keep my car and to think if i was to barter or buy off a member and then screw me over well just puts me off evan looking in that part of the forum at all but again we can only blame ourselfs

Don't be put off by MrC's experience. The wankers are very much in the minority on here. I've bought and paid up front for items (thanks Sparco and Bockers, amongst others), collected and paid (thanks JBT, 007, amongst others) and even had the offer to collect the item, and drop the money through the letter box (thanks 007)!

This Forum is quite impressive, you just need to look at how many ex-coupé owners stay around. Having said that of course, there's always the possibility of being bit. Nothing is ever sure in life, but I feel pretty confident dealing with the guys/girls on here.

Very true the words of Mr Roadking! smile Other than this little instident I've had no problems buying or selling from/to my fellow fccuk members (you know who you are!). At the end of the day this situation is my fualt and I will deal with this in my own way (I weight 112kg and do kick-boxing and I know where he lives). smile

I Think you need to hear both sides of the story befor members start jummping to conclusion and slagging them off and looking for fights...

I spoke to Danny him self today due to the fact he couldnt get incontact with me with payment of parts he wanted. I can honistly say his a decent chap and i will continue doing busines With him.

Im saying give members a chance to explian there selfs befor posting it across the forum rooom there is ALWAYS two sides of the story!

If you have waited long enough, just name him.If he has a decent excuse he doesn't have to bother.

If anyone has problems with non payment / receipt of goods they need to contact a Mod/admin with as much detail as poss to try and get the issue resolved ASAP.

ive brought parts from members before and always been fine. its like anything there will always be a few.

for example ive brought stuff off ebay no problems, apart from once where i got ripped off.

still think that if they wont reply to you then they are surely in the wrong

i dont agree if someone is ovoiding u wen thay owe you money,it normaly means ther side of the story doesnt exist why u seem to think if u havent heard both sides of the story u should BE LEANIENT, i prefer the case of guilty until proven inocent rather than the inocent until proven guilty. peaple who forget or have money issues still have no excuse as wen thay make the deal would know these things and should not buy the part if thay cant afford it, and should also send the money no longer than within the day after the purchase and why some of you week minded fools feel we shud wait a month or two to find out wat is the problem id rather say ther problems SHUD be NAMED AND SHAMED AND BLAMED ON THE FORUM.

i hope i dont upset anyone with this but if i do WELL thats life as frankie would say

@ Mods: As this seems to be an issue in here I suggest it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a look at the feedback system that is used in the German Forum.
This is how the 'author-content' looks like over there.
At the bottom you'll see the positive and negative feedback displayed.
Clicking on this brings you to the posts that done made to give the feedback.
This allows any potential buyer to check out the person he's buying from, or to contact any previous customers.

I'd be VERY tempted to get 'the boys' together and pay him a visit...what you do when you get there is up to you of course wink

Let the mods sort it, but tell your partners you are getting 'the boys' together and pay him a visit. Then come down to Plymouth an I'll have organised Midgits, hookers and balloons and everything we can Paaaaar-taay!
Nibbles too!

Has all been said before but nothing happens other than people getting bumped. Something should be implemented as current system offers no confidence.
