Only people that might know is either Frogman92 or Tooky.... Sometimes that Tooky character is a llittle shady.. :eek: ... but I'm sure he could recommend a good shop ;)

Well what do you know... I go to check my email today and what do I find but an email from Guy Re-negging on a deal I had set up with him over the past week... Once again Guy's innability to communicate or follow through in this case, messed shit up.. If Guy can not take the time to follow through for me, cancelling a ebay auction with one weeks advanced notice after funneling thousands through his buisness, personally I don't forsee spending any money through Rockford Racecraft ever again....


If you even look at the bidding history for Guy's auction you can see that no one bid on the item until Saturday... 4 days after Guy and I had made the original agreement of sale...

Sorry to hear about that transaction dude. At least you're not out any money for something you didn't get.

So he agrees on a price leaves it on ebay and sells it higher????? :roll:

well not to cause any :agrue: but that stinks......

I am taking mine off to go to A2A you want it, 65 + shipping.

I will leave the 3/8 pipe on it (you can adapt to 3/4 or use 5/8 that way.

Let me know.....

Reason I was interested in the ATR Aux IC unit Guy had up for sale was because it was the larger Aux IC (4 rows spanned almost entire length of radiator opening) and included all the mounting hardware.. Recently bought a unit off of mark larson but it's a little smaller than what'd I'd hoped for..

Is your unit the exact one offered with the ATR kit? with mounting hardware..?? have pics?? If so please send to barkeepbronze@hotmail.com

Thanks steve ;)

For those that are interested... read on below :-?

For those that are interested... read on below :-?

For those that are interested.. Read onward... I find it pretty revolting that one minute guy could care less about breaking our deal... Then when he reads my follow up email he suddenly cares enough about our previous agreement that he wants to buy me a new Aux IC... :roll:

Below is the 1st Reply I sent Guy once I read his email saying he sold the ATR Aux IC unit to another person after our agreement

After the sending the 1st reply I decided to let him know about this thread being that he doesn't find much time to check in on his customer base and all... :lol: Sent him the 2nd email a couple of minutes after the 1st email.

Personally I think trust & respect is how you maintain a good relationship with a small tightly-knit community... So what have we learned today class?? Don't promise people one thing... do another... act like you don't care.. then backpeddle and try to kiss ass when you realize you don't like the response to your own actions... :wink: School is out.. enjoy your week...

Try again Jamie... I've been following this whole thread for several days. At first I figured I'd ignore it, since it seemed to be a lost cause, but then I thought about it some more, and thought I'd try to make it right with you.

What more do you want? I apologized, told you I wasn't trying to screw anyone, and even offered to BUY YOU A NEW COOLER!

All over a stupid used heat exchanger.... You said yourself you could buy brand new for $10 more.

I can't believe it......

It's a principle issue Guy... and breaking your word for $50 profit.... Question is if you would break your word for that ... then what else would you break your word for... If I hadn't sent you a 2nd reply I highly doubt you would have tried to make things right at all....

Yeah you're right it is stupid that you would sell your reputation so short all over a stupid used heat exchanger... That's the reason I find it hard to believe anyone could make decisions like those in a tight-knit community... It's like shooting yourself in the foot...

Should I elaborate further and include your sentiments regarding your thoughts on Chi-town members since you appear to believe that my own beliefs and actions in this matter are influenced by their own??

I understand that most everyone who tries to reach Rockford Racecraft is unsuccessful. That I guess would fall under bad customer service. It could be worse. Not trying to say anything bad against McCoy, but did the whole motor issue get blow out or proportion like this has???? I don't think so. This has gone way to far.

The whole 10 second pass needs to be dropped as well. This was dona a long time ago. Give it up.

I am always going to go to Rockford Racecraft for my tuning and diagnostic needs. I feel very comfortable with Guy's knowledge.

Why do people on this bb always have to make such smartass comments about everything? I don't see other bb's doing that.

I don't want to start any fights. I just wanted to give my opinon on this topic.

Sell Out
I guess it is one of those situations.

It is like that with and service and/or product. There isn't one product made that is gonna make everyone happy - free hookers are nice but they piss the wife off.

Chevy - some like them - others hate 'em.
Ford - well - everyone hates 'em.
McDonalds - Some like the burgers - some don't.

My point - you can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all the people all the time.

You can do the Walmart method of sales - make a lot of money selling a lot of cheap stuff. Or you can do the Coach Leather method of sales and sell a little bit of expensive crap. In the end you still sell the same amount - which way is better???

We all have our opinion of RR. Some are from personal experience. Others are from second hand stories we have heard from people we trust. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few months.

Wasn't intending to start a fight rather to build some trust for the purchases ahead... Reason being that with all the talk being said about the current issues about engines only coming from one side... you hear nothing from the other side.. So in essence you could say it's hard to know what to think of it... Like I said before I've had a pleasant experience with the first $1500 purchase I made.. as well as choosing RR to be the recipient of the buisness from the Baer GP.. This was a choice to be had when I set up the GP with Rick at Baer... I set it up because I wanted to support the community and I thought RR had the communities better interests at heart.
Around the time of the finalization came the whole issue of the sale of the stokes motor.. Hearing one side of the story and not the RR side leads one not to know who to believe.. That being said I felt bad because not knowning who to believe I didn't necessarily want to send buisness to someone who did not have the better interests at heart however, because everything was finalized pretty much if the plug was pulled to select another shop to handle the packaging and shipping then in all notions the GP would have died... Even since then I've still tried to help guy when I hear of people with contact problems.. I usually would talk with them and give them a better phone number and and ask that they don't give it out or post it...

Since the GP I still hadn't heard anything about a resolution in any of the contested matters... So still don't know who to believe entirely.. I figured the Aux IC was an opportunity to make a small purchase from RR to re-affirm my beliefs and previously good experience in RR.. Unfortunately that didn't happen... The thing that really struck me was guys email on monday morning...

It didn't say " I'm sorry.. I accidently sold the IC and didn't cancell the auction.. Here let me find another option for you" ...

Basically his email said "Hey Jamie I sold your IC that I agreed to sell to you for $50 more to someone I don't even know... tough luck.."

There was no mention of any means or attempt to rectify the mix up... just tough luck.... That says to me right there that if he's not willing to offer a solution for a mistake he made on a small purchase.. then how am I supposed to trust RR with a large one?? So I sent him the email replies..
And since guy made no attempt to rectify I though it necessary to post the experience I received... Sorry but I don't make accusations without proof to back it up and that is the only reason the emails were posted.... I don't dick over people that respect me and treat me with the same respect..
Offer of the new Aux IC was an attempt after the fact to basically try and shut me up... I didn't want the New Aux IC though.. Just wanted the used one with mounting hardware and the experience of saying I bought it and had a good transaction again with RR.... That did not happen... Anyways I've said my piece... going to get back to the better threads on syty.net. ;)

Uhh it's way "too far" not "to far"...so its OK that you can reach RR but nobody else can? Even if you spend over $20K? You sir are a moron.
