That reminds me. You already said you were coming to pic it up 2 different times. I took 2 vacation days for that. I have the emails and I can show what vacation days I took. You sent $150 because I told you I would cover you for a few bucks if shipping was more than you expected. I meant $50-$75 not $200 or more. You need to admit you were trying scamm me for extra shipping money, to get the engine cheaper. Jokes on me.

No reply from Nova imagine that !!!!! He has probably re sold it to someone else already you are being way too genorous with this idiot HighBody.

I guess everyone was right you engines were not worth $1500 and only a $1000. Nova the clock is ticking what ya gonna do TICK TOCK TICK TOCK. Be a 1/2 man at least that is a better deal than you would get from a lot of people, were waiting.............

nova- im pissed, your pissed we can both agree on it..

now lets just settle this... ill come get the engine, you keep what i sent you, 1150$..

you dont need to see me or interact with me in any way... ill call when im close, just put it in the front lawn or some where i can access it and ill get it...

done deal... we both dont want to make this a huge issue your 12 hours away and almost 700 miles 1 way... im willing to eat that too.

lets just get this over with

The first shipper was a small time, one guy out fit. He told me on the phone to leave it and it would get there. I call a week later to see if everything went OK. Shipper refused to take it with him on the trip. I then had to haul it on a furniture dolly down a big hill in wet grass and back up a big hill. By myself in the rain. (gate was locked) I called him and told him what I went through. He seamed very unconcerned. I told him I would send the $150 and he could arrange transport and pay for it on his end. He wanted no part of that. He then said" just send my $1150 back".  2 half days of work 120 miles. Countless emails and phone calls, to I don't know how many shipping company's. That's when I told him your engine is here, figure it out yourself. I then told him it was in my way and in a week I would start charging him $10 a day. He was tyring to get over on me for shipping, so he could get the engine for what he first offered me and I refused. Take me to court, or come get the engine. That's all I will say about it.......

Ok, that sounds something like reasonable, depending what person you are... I know you were probably pissed having driven 60 miles to be told "not for $150..."

Personally, when I've shipped stuff sold on fleabay, I occasionally make between $1-$2 on the shipping, most of the time I don't make a penny or am out a few quarters, but on rare occasions, I've dropped $15 or more because it went oversize or was just heavier on their scales than mine. I just pony up and pay it, and forget about it. I can understand you being a bit pissed, but after I'd have driven 60 miles to the depot, I'd very likely have dropped another $100 to ship it there and then, rather than drive back with it in my trunk all over again - but I don't now how much extra they wanted...

I imagine you have learnt something from this - that engines are a PITA to ship unless you have a dock or a contract with a freight company, and that when you sell somet, your responsibility doesn't end when you cash the check.

On the same point, personally, I've had a lot of luck with R&L for shipping big stuff.

My thoughts here is that you are someone who could basically say "yes, I'm relativly new to this, and I didn't do as much homework as I should have before entering into a business deal" (which I believe you legally did, once the check was put into your bank)...

YOU are the one who can make this right (by refunding the $1K or shipping the motor at a small loss) - and gain some respect...

Or you can hope this guy will just go away...

so send me 1000$ and ill eat the 150$ money i sent you for shipping

Wow; all this drama is makin me kinda skiddish about selling my 1275 when my new motor comes from MM.

I have no idea what the money part of this argument is worth in dollars and cents but....IF Novashawn still wants to sell the engine and....IF HighBody still wants to buy the engine, why not just suck it up, split the difference in the cost of shipping, conclude this pi$$ing contest and call it a day. Or why not get in your cars and meet somewhere between Goldsboro, NC and Woodstock, Ct. like say Baltimore and make the make the transaction in person. Hell, time it so you can go see the Orioles loose a ballgame at Camden Yards while there and split an order of hot dogs. Whatever you do, just get on with it or chalk it up to a total misunderstanding, settle the deal and walk away like men. 

Tell them how much you sent for shipping and tell them what I did to try and ship it for that. You know why you dont have your engine.

all im asking for is my money back... i dont understand why you couldent just send my money and why your making us both juump through hoops

So far I've gotten that NS recieved money for the engines and money for shipping, and came to an agreement on price.  Stated that he couldn't ship the engines for the amount of money recieved for shipping.  Stated that the buyer wanted to send the difference on the amount owed on shipping.  Also stated he didn't refuse to ship. So be a man of your word.....ship the stuff and get reimbursed for the difference owed.   

How much sh!t could novashawn ship if novashawn would ship sh!t.  

Spitz,

I love how you started a new slang phrase. That's funny.

What did I do?

I am not even going to address the officer cox hang up you have for the 5th time but I do know who you are classicshack.com you are a deadbeat and in less than a year you have managed to be disliked by not only me but several people in the Mini world. Maybe you don't give a rats ass but as they say what goes around comes around and when things go S***ty for you in life just think about the two engines you sold and how you left these people hanging and maybe you will realize why S*** happens.

HighBody I wish you well with this piece of crap but honestly you should not have dealt with him knowing his background (I presume) from Sept 09.

I love that " prices are holding" thred. Your a tool.

We agreed on a price. Im not a shipping company. I would be happy to go to court over this. I have all the emails too?

I started charging him storage on july 16 after I hauled it 120 miles round trip to a shiper that saw it and refuse to send it, for what he was willing to pay. One week he wants me to sell it and give him his money back the next week he's comming to get it. 

We agreed on a sale price and a price for shipping.  I have the emails confirming this.  Money was then sent over to you in the form of a certified bank check, which I have a copy of, incliding your signature endorsing the check on the back.  At the point of cashing the check you agreed fully to the terms and conditions we had talked about.  If you did not intend to keep this agreement you were not legally allowed to cash that check.  That is theft.  I have contacted an attorney and will be filing a complaint for money owed.  I most definitely do not owe you any money for storage or holding since if was your responsibility to get the motor to me on receipt of the check, which again,  you cashed, stating agreement to the terms.  At this point I will not be contacting you again.  I will expect either a certified check sent by certified mail or it can be sorted out by a magistrate of the courts of North Carolina.  If it is necessary for us to go to court I have asked the courts to grant me not only the money sent to you for the motor and shipping but also the court fees totally $80, travel expenses for me to get there and back, and compensation for my time out of work.  I had hoped this could be worked out without going to these extremes and still do have these hopes.

Thank you,

Matt

Why would I pay for shipping?...not my engine and don't know the "buyer".

Don't be a wetcooper about it, ... give the guy his money back.

March 3rd? That's what, 25 weeks, @ $70/wk? Wow...

You are crazy to have not got it yet - by whatever means - especially when being raped on the 'holding fee' but if that is a genuine and correct price, it doesn't exactly come as a suprise given who you purchased it from....
