Well some people may remember him posting about a 4pc Fastback Tail lights 4 sale When I got them all that it was is the reflectors. I contacted him right away and said I was disappointed and would like a refund.
quote
This was his reply I will refund you I honestly thought they were taillights I pulled them off of an 87 GT they were glued in place and I have had them for about 2 years in a closet my appologies
That shows you he knows nothing about Fiero's either, any one can tell what a taillight is, but not him. he totally misrepresented what he had and of course no pics.
All this happened back on Jan. 30th and still nothing but excuses. After his last PM he blocked me from any more PM's so that only shows you he is a dishonest seller. He his so full of crap and I hope no one as sent him any money if you did don't expect anything. He is Full of empty promises and evidently an empty wallet. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH FKING74 Here is a link to the original post https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/030281.html

But you got them for $25.. what did you expect? You still got your money's worth! I tailight set would easily be over $100
Lets put it in easier terms for you. He misrepresented what he was selling. He siad he would refund the money He then came up with every and any excuse you can think of.
Since you are so into this maybe you will send me the money and I will send you this useless crap.
This is my second time being screwed on this forum and yet ppl like you chime in with some foolish comment like this. Maybe you should buy something from him.
Here is a fake scenario but think about it Matt. I have 4 shifter cables sitting in my garage. I have no clue what they are for So How about if I said they were for a Getrag 5spd and sold them to you for lets say $50 and yet they were for the 4spd or Izuzu? Now I give you that good price but sell you the wrong cables, is it fair for me to tell you "WELL TO BAD YOU GOT A GOOD DEAL AND THEY LOOK NICE" Would that be alright? Maybe you ought to think before you type.
Plain and simple any one who has ever owned a Fiero or has seen one. Knows these are not taillights.
And besides I got the last set of taillights that are on my car now for $40.00 so there are deals to be had out there.

I was going to buy these 4 pc taillights from him but i refused to til he could get pics up.....basically you can look at any fastback fiero pic on this wonderful site and see that what he has isn't the complete package. So i don't understand how he can say "that is the complete piece to my understanding that was the whole light assembly"
glad i didn't buy but sucks to be you ....i hope you get your money back and just be thankful it wasn't for 100-200 bucks.
best of luck

It must be just me but, i would NEVER buy a 'set' of tail lights without seeing them, specially for 10 bucks! I mean come on, even if I knew they were the whole assembly I still would have to at least see some closeup pics first! For $10 they could be FUBAR.. I say you are LUCKY he sent you anything at all and that you only spent 25 bucks

Exoticse I hope Archie does open the package soon because you got a set of Fastback taillights from me that I got in a salvage yard and a wiring harness and I told you that the outer lens was broken on one of the taillights before I got them for you I think you got them for $65 shipped then you sent me an extra $10 for my trouble because I got you the parts for what they cost me at the salvage yard and you paid me before I went and got the parts I think Joe thinks that I am buying the parts for people then waiting for them to pay me

03-13-2006 05:52 PM
Frank I have been more than patient and am starting to get mad at this point. I want my money and I want it this week. I will give it until Friday if I don't have it I will be forced to post on the Forum about this matter. I hate to have to resort to this but you leave me no choice. It has been over 1 month and still nothing. you post to people saying you will get them parts from junk yard and only charge your cost. Yet you can't get me the monies that is owed me. I don't want any extra I just want what I paid you.
Thanks Joe ----- Original Message ----- I hope you can get it this week I am still waiting on several guys to send me money and as soon as I get it I will stick it in an envelope and send it to you and I understand about things being tight I have been out of work since Dec I really am sorry this is taking so long I really expected these guys to be sending $$ soon and I am expecting some from a buyer off ebay that guy owes me $65 another on here owes me $50 and 2 others on here owe me $20 if you know anyone that wants a 120mph gauge cluster let me know and I will sell it to them for $45 shipped and give you $35 of it because this is taking so long to give you a refund
Frank ----- Original Message ----- Hi Frank Wondering if I can expect my money this week? Things re getting real tight here and I certainly could use it.
Thanks Joe
----- Original Message ----- I appreciate your understanding and as soon as I get some cash (should be anyday now) I will give you a total of $30 because you have had to wait so long. And thanks for the advise
Frank ----- Original Message ----- I am in the same boat as you are Frank. Lost my job 2 months ago and still looking for work. So I am hurting for money also. I know what it is like, when you get it just let me know when you send it.
Thanks Joe
BTW, you should start selling on Ebay, if you go to the Junk Yard here are some good items. Some of These you can fit in your pocket too. Horn Paddles, always good for $30-$40 bucks> Front emblems, 88 Formula or coupe the PONTIAC on the rear bumper Shifter knobs, Battery Shield (Plastic one), Lugnut covers, door sill plates that say Pontiac. Interior pieces in Excellent shape, just about anything. 87-88 Headlight set-up with wire harness. 5spd getrag shifter and select cables. That's just a few things, but Ebay is where you will get the most money, not on Pennocks.
----- Original Message ----- I am working on getting your money for a refund I dont have a job at the molment and I am making all my money by selling parts I am expecting money anyday now or some parts and I will send you a refund as soon as I get the money sorry its taking so long
Frank ----- Original Message ----- Hi Frank Can you just send me a Refund since this is taking so long
Thanks Joe Norton
----- Original Message ----- have any use for a 120mph gage cluster? if so I will send it to you in place of the tail lights I am still working on tracking you a set down going to look at some more salvage yards tomorrow no luck yet though ----- Original Message ----- Thanks Frank I was so loking forward to them. I have done the same thing with parts before, thought I had the right part and it was totally wrong.
Thanks Joe ----- Original Message ----- I will refund you I honestly thought they were taillights I pulled them off of an 87 GT they were glued in place and I have had them for about 2 years in a closet my appologies ----- Original Message ----- Frank I recieved the pieces today. I am really disappointed. These aren't taillights, they are nothing but the reflectors/inserts for the taillights. These are Taillights https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/030280.html
What you sent isn't useable for anything, the back's aren't even with them. But these are just totally useless for anything. Your post said Taillights and that is not true.
I would like a refund as these aren't what you said they were. And I even sent extra $$ so you wouldn't spend anything out of pocket on shipping so you even made an extra $6.60 on the shipping
Thanks Joe ----- Original Message ----- recived your M/O today and sent out the package today also should be there in 2 days ----- Original Message ----- Hi Frank I will send the M/O out tomorrow
Thanks Joe ----- Original Message ----- how would I figure shipping? how about I set a flat rate of $15 shipped so I dont have to mess with trying to figure shipping? I dont have a paypal account send m/o to Frank King 1134 N.W. Oak Ave Lawton,Ok 73507

No. You're the one who messed up. The burden should be on you. Why should he trust you, yet again, when you didn't do the right thing in the first place? He's already said that they were useless for his purposes. What's he going to do? Take back his money then keep the "lights"? I doubt it. I think that you at least owe him the benefit of the doubt. Eh?
[This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 03-15-2006).]
get a job at McD's, give the man his money back, and learn how to use a period or two in your posts.
you said that all he needs to do is send back the tail lights for a refund. yet in the PMs you yourself posted for all of us to read, there is no reference to you telling him to send them back before a refundwill be given. all i get from the whole thing is a lot of excuses that you dont have $20 to send him. you saying that all he had to do was send back the lights just sounds like another excuse. i gaurentee you that you could easily spare the money you owe him in one week by cutting out stupid crap you buy. do you smoke cigerettes? drive your car around to places other than potential places of employment? buy food you dont need? my point is, you can cut corners to repay your debt. no excuses.

What doesn't make sense is that carolinajoe used a quote from fking that said "i honestly thought they were the taillights since got them from an 87" but yet it seems that he sold another set of taillights to exotise on the forum
could you not tell that they were different since you said the others had a crack in the outer lense? it doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that you ripped the first person off that would send you money.
and i would not send you the product back either til i get my money back because then he will be out the money and the product.

We have no beef ( hehe unless Archie tells me i got a box of rocks hehe) I was just alarmed when i saw the headline and remembered that Archie had not opened the package yet.
I pretty much try to give people the benefit of the doubt,.... until they screw up.
If as expected i got what i paid for,..you sir will get a thumbs up from me.

Did you all actually see where I was telling him how to sell and go on Ebay. I actually felt sorry for him and tried to help him learn how to sell stuff and make some money. Sent extra for shipping so he didn't have spend any extra. He called me on the phone and said he would have the money too.
quote
I think Joe thinks that I am buying the parts for people then waiting for them to pay me
No I was just waiting for you to pay me. And, I couldn't understand why you are telling people you will get them parts they need for what ever it cost you. I just thought that was plain stupid, especially for someone who is crying poverty, yet you have time to drive to the junk yard and pull parts for free.
I would never send the crap back to you without you sending cash first.
You got me once, but certainly not twice. In all your PM's you say you don't have the cash, but yet you have enough nerve to tell me now, to send them back to you.Then I will get refund. Man, you really are full of it aren't you?
Get a job because you really suck at selling Fiero parts.
And BTW take my Address out of your post, I don't appreciate that.
This one will be written off as a lesson learned. Will I stop trusting, doubt it as that is my nature.
I just wanted to warn others incase they were thinking of buying from him. Better to be forewarned before anything bad goes down.
[This message has been edited by carolinajoe (edited 03-16-2006).]
Well, I read this post and was going to stay out of it, then this caught my eye.

Well guys, i really do not want to get in the middle of your dispute, but i said i would give my opinion on this after i had the contents of the box checked.
Well that has been done and Archie tells me the contents are exactly as they should be.
Frank (fking74) delivered exactly what he promised to me and in the condition discussed. With that in mind, i have to say my dealings with him have been 100 % satisfied and above board.
Additionally i found Frank to be very willing to help with very little gain to himself. I would do business with him again. I do however think fking74 does need to make good on the reimbursment to carolinajoe for the apparent mistake.

I sold the other lights to exoticse weeks AFTER I sold those to Joe just because I happen to find them at the salvage yard and he needed them and Joe already found another set so buzz off and mind your own business
If you wanna private message me and tell me to mind my own business the least you can do is post it here for everyone to see. And i will NEVER believe that someone thought that this was a complete taillight assembly.

Well fking74 took the opportunity to shoot me a PM, and basically told me that he doesn't owe Joe anything until he gets the parts back. (This, even though he messed up -or misrepresented, take your pick- what he was selling in the first place.) So, Joe gets screwed the first time, then is supposed to trust fking74 to do the right thing when he gets the parts back? Sure. That'll work.
Snow will fly in hell before this guy gets any of *my* money.
Edit - Jeez... Looks like he's PMing everybody. I know somebody else who did that and got banned for spamming.
[This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 03-16-2006).]
That's ridiculous... He's never getting any of my money, I'll tell you that much. He farked up and won't make good on it. Besides the fact that it's only $35, which tells me that he just doesn't feel like making good on it, he jst wants to be an ass because Joe called him out.
I call BS on this guy...

Hmmm. You sell someone something they didn't expect, acknowledge that you accidentally misrepresented it, then don't return the money first (the right thing to do in my book). He took a chance (paid first) and didn't get what he expected. Now you need to take the chance and refund the money first. It's not like Joe is going to keep the lights when he gets the money. This isn't like returning jeans to old navy. What a joke.

739 views and he has not gotten his ratings bar yet.
So he should get lynched cause he has one problem with one person on the forum? Thats just lame, all i see here is a misunderstanding... and as to a refund when parts are not sent back? If i was the one with the cash and had just gotten bashed in a forum, i would not send the cash back until I have the parts...cause whats to say you send cash back and the person who feels victomized thinks they should just keep them as a way of 'getting back' at the other? +25 bucks seems like a decent price for what you recieved...unless you want some scratched faded peeling set...at least from what ive seen them go for here, and on ebay

After all this did you think that I was expecting to see a dime out of you? You are like one Hamburger Short of a Happy Meal. So I guess you have screwed others then huh???? What a way to go through Life, I feel real, real sorry for you.

Dex did you see what we were talking about and the picture?? Here is the difference Taillight
Not Taillight
They weren't Taillights, got it now?? I can't be any clearer than that. As far as your other comment, I though do have a reputation to upkeep and have screwed no one. Sorry if I seem PO'd but when anyone insinuates that I would screw someone over something as minuscule as this, makes my feathers get ruffled. I also did not bash him until I posted here and if you look and read the PM's this started way back, infact in January. Also if you read this post you would see where he keeps saying he has NO cash. Yet you would expect me to send the items back to him?? And then what?? Huh?? If he has had no cash in 2 months what makes you think he would have it after I sent them back.
I guess Frank is challenging the forum members to getting him banned. Wonder why he is saying he can't be banned?? Kind of strange that a couple of people posted that they left feedback yet none are showing up??

OH MY GOD!! i never knew what a taillight looked like!!! Thank you SOO much, i was so confused as to what that was stuck to the back of my car... I still dont see how you get 4 pieces from that tail light unless it is taken apart...and ill save you some time and say , yes I have taken my own GT tail lights apart...but to order something with no pic with a questionable description...just not too smart...
If the dude has no money, he has no money...what the hell do you want him to do, stop paying his bills so he can pay you back your 25 bucks?
Yeah they were misrepresented, but seriously.... didnt you wonder at all why they were in 4 pieces? and further more..."oh its close enough to what im looking for" kinda attitude with no pics, is just asking to get screwed over...
I dont think it was Fkings purpose to Scam you, if he did I would think hed try for something more then 25 bucks...this is a misunderstanding between you 2, someone else stated that Fking sent them exactly what was agreed on...

Not Exactly. He has Joe's money. He had no problem jacking this obligation. He can get a 2nd job. Hock his computer. Go borrow it. It was his screwup-his misrepresentation. He needs to make it right. Or, we can all defend the poor little guy till his ego tells him:
"it's ok. I'm free and clear. FREE MONEY!! See--- some of them understand and support me for screwing this buyer over. All I gotta do is say--Hey-I don't have it. You're screwed."
Let him try that with his other bills.
Anytime I see him here or anywhere else, try to sell as much as a lockwasher, I'll link to this thread.
