this is kinda news to me, i've done ALOT of selling w/ him, and actually, its gone both ways, i've bought off of him, and he's bought off of me, never ever had a problem!!

Yes, that's him, races or not and wherever they might be it is more than enough time to at least reply, he chose not to, but have enough time to post in other threads or start his own. He had excellent feedback 'till now.

I bought off him before. He did take a while to get it out though. Claimed it was shipped a week and a half earlier, I check the shipping label and it was sent the day after I asked about it.

Post on his facebook or something.

true that. ive met bob a few times , the first being the casino meet last fall. sold him a set of wheels and he said he would send me a check since i left CT before he did, it did take like 2 weeks to get the check lol , but i got it. i even went to his house to buy some parts , but i had just lost my job so i had to backout. hopefully this gets taken care of.

I got busy with my racing tour and job... ask any members that know my life... everything has been shipped or refunded. Ever since my series signed its new sponsor I have had multiple appearences every week and a guy got fired at work forcing me into 12+ hour days... my internet is also gone and I can only check things from my phone... again im sorry and none of this is anyones problems.. maybe in november when racing season is over i can sell the rest of my parts...

For everyone involved. Once you confirmed your refund or received your items please let us know so that we can restore hypnoticracing's account to full access.

Well, in my case he had a 6-7 week break with various unanswered pm's while he posted in other threads, if he is that busy he would not respond before sending the money either. Racing for a living will not excuse anybody from sending stuff payed for, like said before paypal refunded me, anybody want to gamble for more than a month and a half go right ahead. Having only a phone is not an excuse either all my threads, posts, build, buy, sell I do it from the phone, wonderful little thing. Anybody can have situations but they should be dealt with accordingly.

I've dealt with him on several occasions on getting parts. Never had an issue. I know this must suck to have to get the refund and stuff through paypal and not your parts, but honestly stuff happens in life you can't control. Shit happens, honest mistake.

He is still a good seller, just a few hickups down the road... Can anyone on here HONESTLY say that they have NEVER shipped something late, or have to be reminded to ship something.

The guy from NH parting out a EAP in orange? I picked him up at Dulles and took him down to buy a truck he found online.

that reminds me that hypnotic owes me a refund check for a badass turbo kit i paid $6000 for and never got! where's my money man?!?!

you know im just kidding. everybody has something happen at some point or another that gets them so busy that they dont have time for some things. its easy enough to communicate on forums while you are on the go but actually getting up to the post office during regular hours can be a pain. i know this from personal experience. this is why ive taken a major step back from the selling side of the BST area of this site. i work night shift and work a minimum of 60 hours a week with minimum of 12 hours a day when i work from 7pm to 7am and i am dog tired every single day that i work and every day i dont work i am working on someone's car or driving a few hundred miles to get parts for the cars that im working on. or hell sometimes you might get yourself locked up for a month or two. been there done that and it wasnt a picnic.

im just trying to say cut the guy some slack. i get on this site maybe 2 or 3 times a week from my pc at home and the rest of the time im here on my phone when i take a quick break at work or while im working elsewhere. just because you have the time to whip out the phone and make a post on here does not mean you have the time to drive up to the post office. granted he didnt reply to pm's but maybe he just didnt want to give up on the sale just yet and was hoping for more time.

ive bought from him before and he came through for me with no problem. just saying.

I can see why Mother Focus is frustrated. It is a long time without communication and then to not get the parts at the end. I've been waiting two months for a set of hoses to come in on an order that I placed and I'm getting zero communication from the vendor.

But, still. S*it happens. It isn't like he kept your money and moved to Istanbul. Let it slide, man.

I wouldn't open this thread for nothing. Did you already open a dispute with paypal? My refund was done by paypal not him, that means they cover it until they can get to his funds... Yes I got my money back but will you let it slide because he was "racing", busy or many people had bought from him?
