To anyone considering buying, selling or trading with Eric read this:
Incident #1 involved little g(craig) sold eric a tranny that G had gotten used from a person on another board. Craig eventually realized he had little use for the tranny so sold it to eric with an agreed upon price of $350...they met up & eric said he was short on money & would pay him when he got paid & gave him $100 of the $350 owed. Craig, like most people, took him on his word & handed over the tranny in hopes of getting the remaining $250. Days went by with no $ to be found. Weeks went by with craig contacting eric with excuse after excuse why he hadnt given him the money. In the meantime Eric installs the tranny(mind you he did an auto to manual tranny conversion using Craigs tranny) he finally gets it installed & within a week he realizes theres a problem with the tranny. He decides hes not going to pay craig for the tranny at this point & blames Craig for selling him a bad tranny so now craig is out of a tranny & $250 for trusting someone.
Incident #2 another member on here Chummma apparently lent 2 rims/DR's to eric to use temporarily...Eric preceeds to beat the tires down to the cord. In the meantime C asked eric repeatedly to bring the rims/tires to him up at one of his clubs meets which was ~15 miles away. Eric never brough them. And now Chummma & a good portion of CI isnt very happy with him to say the least.
Incident #3 mine comes last since it involves the first two parties parts
I traded for erics converted 98 a few months back obviously with minimal hopes of it even running/moving when i first got it considering it would be a project car. I went to erics house & looked the car over real quick...didnt look horrible but knew it would need a good amount of work just by looking at it. Eric AAA's it up to my house at which time it has Chumma's rims/tires on it which at the time I didn't know the story nor did I know they were chummma's, eric just said "my friends". Anywayz when eric brought the car he also didnt pack up the muffler with the car...not a big deal I told him I'd come down & pick up the muffler & the auto tranny he still had knowing that craigs old tranny was somehow broken. After looking over the car I noticed the large near footlong crack in the bellhousing of the tranny which I suspect wasnt there when eric put it in the car so I'll assume that when Craig handed it over the tranny didnt have a large crack in it seeing that anyone other then maybe Stevie wonder couldve spotted it in a second of looking at it. I bugged eric about the rims/tires that were origonally on the car knowing I had to give these rims/tires back to someone...thats when eric told me they were chummmas and that he had my rims
. I told eric "ok np I'll work it out with chummma since I know him" So I pm Ch & find out that eric was supposed to have given these rims/tires back months ago & that Chummma didnt have my rims/tires. Fast foward I IM eric telling him what Chummma had told me & that I would like my Muffler, Tranny, rims/tires...eric tells me he put the muffler on his own vehicle, but i can have the tranny/tires. So I go to pick up the Tranny/tires/rims at a minimum.
Come to find out he had my camaro rims/tires on his car as well. So We take the rims/tires off of his car & I throw the tranny in my trunk. He agrees that once he gets paid he'll get a new muffler for himself & I'll get the muffler that I was supposed to get in the first place.
Now here I am another month later & eric tells me he was rearended meaning that muffler is pretty much trashed, I don't know if chummma ever got his rims/tires back that I gave back to eric to handle & Craig is out a tranny & $250.
Bottom line be careful when dealing with him.
