Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 10:45 am Post subject: rs john

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

just a quick post to warn you not to buy parts from this person. i bought a part over 2 months ago in good faith and he has stolen my money. i dont wish for people on this site to get taken for a ride so this is just to make people aware and not to trust this person. I have emailed and made contact but he wont send me my money or what i wanted in the first place.
I hope no one else has had this happen to them. I have found passion ford to be a very helpful and friendly and i know this is the exception not the rule thanks for taking time to read the post.

i'm reluctant to get involved with this arguement, as i have never had anything of John at all.

however, what i will say, is that this subject has been brought up before with rsjohn and it was concluded that John has ripped no-one off, just he is a bit slack when it comes to posting items off. Also, those who have had parts from him have generally enjoyed quick posting and shipping of genuine bargain items


now please, let this be the end of the discussion before the haters jump on the bandwagon and start slagging someone they have never met or had any dealings with before

2 months is taking the piss Gracy, regardless of other good service, sorry.

We will be making an official decision about what to do about this when gold members let buyers down very soon, be it banning, or gold membership removal, im as of yet unsure...

Aye, just cause others got their stuff doesn't mean this can be excused IMO.

You have to supply many people and provide good service to become a respected seller.

You only have to rip one person off to become an official rip off merchant.

I have alot of experience of this person and have raised it on numerous times, i am owed alot from this person and have decided to stop trying to get him to resolve it, it happened before he went into prison for putting a bottle over somebodys head, and now he claims to have forgotten about it,

This person is out to rip people of and has little or no conscience at all,

Before people say anything i was quite freindly with this person for some time and used to see him on a regular basis, but sadly his dishonesty ended any form of friendship.

Think I got my back opening rear 1/4's off him for my S2. No complaints from me. They were as described and in the condition he told me they were.

Although I have to say I find the comments above a little worrying

Sorry to see this has happened again........

I must have been one of the lucky ones, as i bought a L8 off him before Christmas, and he posted it out before my cheque had cleared, & for that i was greatful and would use John again.

I hope all gets sorted.
