I'd like to share my story about my dealings with Mifbody member Gregs_gsxr.
Here is a link to the original thread:
http://www.mifbody.com/vbulletin/sho...154#post861154
I contacted Greg about an LS2 block and set of new 243 casting LS6 heads he had listed for sale.
We made a deal, I paid him with Paypal and I arranged to have a friend pick them up as he worked 10 minutes from Greg’s location. Greg gave me his friend’s number and said his friend would meet up with my buddy to make the exchange. Everything went smoothly and I met up with my friend that night. The block and heads were all in individual black plastic bags. I put everything in the back of my truck and took them to work on Monday.
I got to work Monday and took the heads out of the bags and was enraged to see that both heads were damaged on the deck surface when they were advertised as new.
I contacted Greg and sent him the above pictures. His response was "I looked at these before I even posted the ad for my buddy, they never looked like that, if there was a problem at delivery, it should have came up then"
In which I said that “because neither 1 of us where there when the exchange was made. I just pulled them out of the bags today when I got to work”
When I asked him for compensation to get the heads decked his response was "Mike, It really isn't up to me, like I said I posted for a buddy of mine, you paid him directly."
Nowhere did Greg ever say these items weren’t his or he was selling them for a friend.
This is where it gets good. After initially contacting Greg I went back and looked at his original thread. I took a screen shot of the wording in the thread.
As you can see he lists the heads as new and doesn’t mention they aren’t his.
He also had a few distant pictures of the heads where I think you could tell they were already damaged.
The next morning I went back to look at the thread and inspect the pictures more carefully and he had edited his post rewording a lot of stuff and removing the pictures showing the deck surface of the heads....

I also mentioned to him that he never said they weren’t his and he was selling for a friend and his response was "Its in the thread some place that its posted for a buddy". Which we know is a 100% lie as he only added that into the thread with his edit after the issues were brought up.
I still haven’t received anything from Greg or his "buddy". He had no problem listing them and selling them as if they were his but now wants no part in making things right.
You all can decide for yourselves who you think was right or wrong but I won’t be dealing with Greg again and I encourage you all to do the same.
