Re: Some people are just plan ungrateful.

Just happened to see this, thought I'd give my side of the story. I posted a WTB ad and Ken replied. Said he had what I neededo, which he did. He said to send him what I thought was fair which I did, the $40. That $40 was to cover a used ECM and a used 350 PROM. I told Ken that I needed to the ECM because mine was bad causing my CEL to stay on and not fire my mixture control solenoid on my electronic qjet. I needed to get the ECM so I could fix the light, get the truck smogged and finish getting it titled in my name. Silly me I figured he understood what I was trying to do and it was a timely issue because I'm on a temporary registration. I did ask if he had other smog parts. I didnt really need anything else but since these mid 80s smog trucks are getting hard to find parts I thought I'd take what I could find. He did say the ECM was from a 86 and the other parts he thought was a 85 or 86. Well they turned out to be 1981 and the only thing I could use from the parts I got were the 1986 ECM and the PROM.

This is where is gets interesting. He tells me he had them boxed and ready to ship out. I send a couple messages asking if they were shipped and he replied he had company over the weekend and didn't ship them. At this time a priority package would have arrived if he had shipped them when he said he was going to. Ok, you had company so when should I expect them? Was almost 2 weeks before they arrived. Within that time I learned reman ECM's were available at the autoparts for $75 and I could have had it next day. But I already put money out on one and wasn't in the position to spend more. In the mean time of going back and forth with Ken asking when he is going to ship my parts he then starts the name calling. I was respectful the entire time but did get on him for not shipping when he said, not returning pm's, ect. I dont feel anything I said justified being called a a$$. I still have the emails to back my case.

Ken, you helped me with the parts I needed but then got all high and mighty because you dropped the ball and I called you on it. Now you are on here further trying to smear my name? What does that say about you Ken? I called you on your mistake and now I'm the bad guy. You accused me of being like all the other "a$$'s" on this page but the fact is you are not taking accountability for your mistakes.
