I do not offer a $1000 renesis rebuild. Get your facts straight before you make more of an *** out of yourself.
Had you bothered to check, you'd find I have one of the best reputations in north america for rotary engine builds, more so than many "professional, high end" shops. I often sell parts to some of the larger engine building shops as well.
Open mouth, insert foot. Next?

floppin, what's your problem? RR has been doing engine rebuilds for many years. You can google him on the various forums. No one complains about his work.

G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY is wrong for agreeing on a price then not sticking to his word. From the other posts about G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY in this section it sounds like he's busting his *** to get things done right. Hopefully deals like this one w/RR will not keep happening, as it's not a good way to do business.

I have had nothing but good deals with Patrick(I am too lazy to type his damned username!) in the past and now he is mad at me for expressing my opinion on this one. He's so mad he refuses to sell anything to me even though our PM conversation was me discussing business practices and ethics and he refusing to accept responsibility. It's unfortunate that he started out with the support of many around here and now he wants to take my objectivity, and probably that of many others, personally.
Patrick - you seem like a good guy. Take the information however you want, but realize there is only one way that will keep the 8 community behind you - which it definitely seems to be. **** happens. When it does we have a choice - and the best bet is to correct what we can and move on. Doing so usually makes issues like this "water under the bridge", as it were.

Well, I can understand where you are coming from however..
1. He is not a "Business" man, he is a guy who occasionally parts out cars on the side.
2. Your a business owner right? So you can always get parts you need, apparently this individual needs the stuff more than you do. Your not buying it to fix your own vehicle.
3. If you where offered more money for something you still had in your posession with no payment made on it wouldnt you want to take the offer for more money?
Just my 2 cents.. Gr3ddy has ALWAYS been fair to me. He always gives me a good deal, has always held onto parts until I could pay him for them and has even let me take parts I needed and pay him later when I was able to. He has been holding a few things for me right now actually, including a starter Im sure he could have sold by now, that he has been holding for at least 2 months if not more. He also overnighted an alternator to me at his cost when I was in a pinch. I also think its unfair all his GG threads got removed so people who dont know him coulld at least make a comparison before judging.

apparently the forum considers him to be a business since they won't allow posting any more FS ads here without a vendor agreement
he had a PM tiff recently with me too ok maybe that's not so unusual in my case
however, I don't have anything negative to say about the guy, he's always tried to help me out but we just never connected

Pink: RR rebuilds engines out of his garage for a profit
Gr3ddy sells (LOTS) of parts out of his garage / basement for a profit.
They might not own businesses, but they are conducting business. Why is this so hard for some to comprehend?

This thread tells me more about other members than G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY 
A DEAL IS A DEAL
IF YOU MAKE A DEAL WITH SOMEONE THEN HONOR IT
Having said that, IF G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY, stated if he can find someone willing to pay more money he would sell to them and not RR AND RR accepts the terms then it is OK. But that does not appear to have been part of the deal agreed upon between the two.

Ok but you dont have to be a vendor to have a GG thread so why is it fair that it got deleted? Im most certainly not a vendor and there have been 2 GG threads about me. I have been to PAtricks house and he buy no means has a set up or the profits to be at a vendor status IMO... Has anyone cleary told him what vendor fees he would have to pay?
Like I said, I can understand where the op is coming from. At the same time, comparing it to an ebay transaction, a seller on ebay can choose to cancel there auction at any time. Businesses give rain checks etc...

WTF is with this guy? ^
GM makes great trucks, they have always made dogshit quality cars with exception to the corvette and some cadillacs which are specially engineered. Not putting off on your car, but go somewhere else to brag about it (or complain, after a few issues crop up).
