Do NOT buy from 86ruguy!!! UPDATED - Dave Paid Me Back
Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2009 3:35 pm
Dave (86ruguy - David Stach legobrick92@yahoo.com) ripped me off and I warn all of you not to do business with him!
He's a liar and he stole $385 from me and it appears as if he has no intentions of giving it back. He thinks he's gotten away scott free, but this is not over with yet. I'm going to call the police as paypal suggested and have them contact paypal so I can get his address and I can go from there. Paypal is giving him 180 days to come up with the money before it goes to collections. Which is bullshit, he doesn't deserve 180 days after he's already had my money for over 2 months, since april 2nd 2009.
He's the story.
Dave was selling a few things on this forum, including a set of hella supertones (loud horns). I wanted them so I offered him a price shipped and he said he'd do it for that price but he would meet me locally so he didn't have to pay for shipping. I met him, bought the horns and as we were talking about subarus I mentioned that I was looking for an EJ22T for my car and he said a friend of his was actually selling one for $350. Great!
Dave called the guy up and confirmed he still had the engine and would sell it for $350. Dave said he lived up in Port Orchard, WA which is probably an hour and 20 mins from my house. Dave lives up in lakewood or tacoma area somewhere so it's much closer to him. He said he could pick up the engine for me and even deliver it to my house since he works 20 mins from my house. Awesome!
So I gave him $385 to give to his friend and pick up my motor. Several days go by and I contact him asking about it and he tells me his friend has gone out of town because his aunt died and he should be back in a week. Understandable. Except, a week goes by and I ask him again if he's talked to the guy and he says he's been busy and the guy's not answering or something.
Anyways, to cut if a bit short, I keep trying to get him to go get my engine and he keeps making up excuses and half the time his phone is disconnected. So then I finally told him to give me my money back and I'll find another engine. So then he says, OK I'll try one more time to contact my friend and get your motor and if I can't get a hold of him I'll give you your money back but it'll take a few days to transfer from his acount.
That's when I started looking on craigslist for a different motor while I waited to get my money back. Sure enough, I found one right off the bat and it was in Port Orchard.....for $350....odd. So I emailed the guy and asked him if his name was Mark (Dave told me his friend's name was Mark) and if he knew Dave and asked him what was going on. He writes back telling me his name was indeed Mark and he was the guy who had the motor and he knew Dave...sort of. Actually he didn't really know him, he had only sold him something once or bought something from him, I can't remember.
Mark tells me Dave did contact him saying he had the money and was going to come get the engine but that was a long time ago and he hadn't heard from him in weeks and that's why he put it on craigslist.
So I asked Mark if he had gone out of town due to a death in the family and Mark says no such thing ever happened and he's been home the whole time!
Now I'm getting furious. Dave is obviously lieing to me and keeping my money.
I pm'd Dave on here and confronted him with the facts from Mark and then he tells me the child support people took it out of his acount the moment he got it from paypal.
Why the hell would you lie to me then? Asshole.
I didn't know whether I should believe that BS or not. I gave him some slack to come up with my money. I didn't hear from him for quite some time after that. I tried contacting him on the forum, tried calling his cell and it was disconnected. He stopped posting on the forum at the same time and I haven't seen him since.
So I filed a paypal claim against him and not 1 hour after starting the dispute, he responds to it saying he just got his internet back and he can give me some of my money but not all of it.
That was the last I heard from him. On May 12th, 2009. 6 weeks ago.
He never bothered to keep in touch with me. Only time I ever heard from him was if I contacted him and that was a maybe.
He's a shady character, he stole my money, doesn't even have the respect or courtesy to keep me updated on how he's going to get my money back to me. And now he's just dissappeared off the face of the earth.
I'm going to get my money back one way or another!
Avoid Dave at all costs.
