Keeping my mouth shut.
I know who a couple are by going thru his old posts and seeing who he helped this month. These asshats arent invisible if you know where to look.
Roy, I for one know what an outstanding member you are and am really sorry to hear that a few have taken advantage of that.
Pay to play folks or find a new game!
Thanks for the kind words. That is all I expect, A word of thanks and for a member to do what they say.
Like Stan said you are and have been a outstanding member here and have
sent gifts my way and knowledge when I ask :cheers: Thank you for being the man you are bud :glasses7:
I know it is possible to loose a boot, but who knows now what the member needed it for. :-\" makes ya think don't it, and it would P.M.O. also .
Wow, just one would get under my skin.... But 3 :tongue9:
You know I guess it doesn't do me any good to try and help other members. All I ask for is postage. I mail out parts on the honor system in response to members needing small parts, usually nothing to big and ask for just postage in one case and 4.00 in another and 10.00 in a third case. Screwed 3 times this month alone! Oh well three more on the ignore list.
I agree 100%. These were small items that if I didn't get paid it wasn't going to hurt me. I just have to believe in the good of mankind and thus the only reason I usually ask for postage or a few bucks is for a character check. Hey most members I have done this with are stand up people. I'm not pissed just disappointed.My grandpa had a saying
No tickie no washie.
In other words you pay before services are rendered or goods shipped.
That being said , most of the folks on here are honest, however if i sell parts, or even give something away and only ask for shipping reimbursement, i ask for the money first. Some people will say thats crappy, but I have also had people want parts and i box them up, take the time to get a shipping price , and never see payment. So i take a page from my grandfather no payment , no parts. Simple as that.
Just my .02
Hope this helps you out

this is a great thread roy! I know that your good as far as the cash, but hopefully some "among" us will get the message. I just wonder where we are all gonna end up with a growing mindset that everyone owes us something. I refuse to be a taker, probably much to my detriment. I just hope all of us that take pride in being good hard working people don't end up in the poor house.

I've sent members parts for free before and then sent a PM to ask if they've received them :wack: I feel your pain & disappointment........
I sent someone a package like 3 weeks ago & have not heard if they received it.......Oh, well :banghead:

Oh I've sent things to a number of members this same way and most all of them send the postage and some send more. It's not about the money, I like to feel like I'm helping someone out. I too have sent parts and not asked for the postage. All someone has to do is ask, if I have it I'll send it. Black bomber said it best, it's a mater of "Personal Pride". This is a dieing trait in a lot of Americans now days. I usually ask for postage or a couple of bucks extra to test a members level of " Personal Pride" 66340sedan, yes I did get your money and this is usually the case. I've had members send me parts on the honor system and I have always paid promptly. I will keep everyone posted on weather or not they come through. I have so much of this little junk that I would like to see members use. The older I get this less I wanna deal with all the parts I have amassed. One of these days your going to see and ad by me for someone to come get all this stuff. I have a 48ft and a 28ft semi trailers full of parts and 3 utility sheds. and several parts cars. Thanks guys for your support.
