I had a pretty good friend bring his '96 F-250 diesel (over 136K miles) to my shop after it was in an accident.  I could have totaled it but he didn't want it totaled so I kept the bill low enough the insurance would pay for it. (mistake #1) I repaired it then when I delivered it here is a list of things he said worked before the accident : 1)rear passenger window worked (found rusted out track) 2) dome light worked (found no bulb, apparently they disappear after an accident) 3) now dome light doesn't go out (found a rusted out plunger switch in the door) 4) rear door lock didn't work (found it pushed down in the door) 5) driver door switches fell into door (found news paper stuffed under it to keep it up, then replaced it with fresh paper) He also blamed me for his bald tires. There was more but thats all i could think of.

  I traded a 7.5 flipdown Audiovox TV, ac/dc power converter, new in the box Infinity 6X9's- 330 watts, and a new in the package 4-gauge wiring kit for a supposedly new in the box mini dirtbike with BarterMaster21.
   Let's just say he got more than his monies worth. I started the bike, it ran for 5 minutes, and never ran after that. He told me he was going to get me a go-cart, but after 3 weeks of no news, I bashed him on the site and he pretty much ran off with me getting nothing.
   I'm not so nice now when it comes to doing business on here. Besides the gun, I haven't tried to sell anything on here anymore. I'm not mad though, I'm Gangster like that...I slipped, he gripped!!

Are you a regular gangster or an OG ??

So let me get this straight......... This member sold a swamp buggy to another member. The buggy didnt start off the trailer went she delivery it. She just had the buggy repaired (head gasket)...... The member that bought the buggy found water in the oil. He call her and was told to call the tech that worked on the buggy. The tech claims that she overheated the engine and warp the head before selling it to the other member. Now she doesnt want to refund the money back to the other member. if this is true, looks like a good small claim court should handle the problem.
