Well with that truth may applying and your factual observations, please do carry on with your bliss.

Well I guess my "factual observations" were hitting a little to close to home, and that's why it was removed (used no cussing or anything), but that's OK, carry on...silly me

saxman657 - Curious to know if you have been able to conclude a satisfactory transaction with the vendor in question - either received the carburetor or a refund. The reason is that I am in the midst of dealing with the same vendor on an early V8 item priced somewhat higher than the Model A piece you have been dealing with. I became concerned about my dealings well before seeing your post. I would have liked to PM you, but do not have enough posts to qualify (this is also my first experience with FB Swap Meet). To avoid stirring up more controversy it is probably best for you to PM me. Thanks!

What is the fair market value of that ?

I have seen prices for a B carb between $100-$200. He originally set the price at $200 and I offered $150, which he agreed to. Price was right in the ball park and the pictures he sent showed a good looking carb, so I thought it to be a very reasonable deal.

Great advice - thank you very much!

I get where you’re coming from, and I’ve learned a hard lesson. But at the same time, if there is a POS trying to screw vintage car owners out of money, I think the word needs to go out to other members on this site. Certainly this is a dispute, but hard to dispute with an SOB that doesn’t have the common courtesy to reply.

I understand several of you thinking I’m a bit quick on the draw. I’ll just say that I’d be fine with month’s delivery time if the seller would just reply to my queries. All I hear is crickets. My apologies to those that think the forum is an inappropriate place to post this. But my point has been made about this seller so no one else ends up in this predicament, and I have received some valuable tips from a couple of you.

For those that provided advice, thank you.

I have PM’d him numerous times. No response.

I would suggest that you send a personal note to Ryan and explain the circumstances.

Point taken and I am very glad the trend on Tom was put back up. Tom is in my thoughts and prayers.

This trend is the land of deleted posts and CLICK BATE. So so SAD
