Re: [MBZ] Trent parts ban

2013-08-25 Thread Hendrik and Fay
Hmmnh, sure cash flow can be a problem but it is my understanding that 
Rusty got you started, so would have had an understanding of the way the 
system works?
Also I think it would have been better if you had kept your customers 
informed as to the situation, not go silent for a couple of months with 
outstanding debts/undelivered parts, particulalry you left Rusty in the 
dark and that's what hurt a lot of people here.
Rusty came on this list and basically apologised on your behalf, why 
should he have done that?
Anyway I think you're first step is to talk to Rusty and then go from 
there, if you want to have any chance of getting trust here, you need to 
satisfy Rusty that the things that happened where beyond your control, 
at the very least you owe Rusty a big apology for tarnishing his reputation.

Plain and simple... I ran out of money. I know that the parts were paid for, 
but I had to float the cost on a daily basis. When a customer pays, it takes 2 
to 3 days for it to get to me. The vendors would not grant me a credit line. 
It's plain and simple. For 2 months I took care of my personal crap ( divorce ) 
and gained financing for this company. I am now set. The money it takes to run 
this business has been my problem from day one. You may order a 30 $ part, 
while the next guy orders a 2000.00 trany. I floated that, I was not prepared.

  For several reasons.
  One, the bimby name is done. Rusty AND Gary's labor of passion is no
 more.
  Two, Rusty's name may have been tarnished a bit by this clown.
  Three, I think this Trent fellow tried. He got so overwhelmed so quick
 he didn't know which end was up and had some kind of melt down.
  Lastly, and the most selfish reason is  sourcing of parts. I guess I
 will try Jabba on my next order. I am a cheap feller though...

Jabba gets me a lot of things within a day or two, max. The last order I placed 
I got the next day.  And he doesn't sell garbage like URO.

You should consider letting him come back.  I think it would be good for

I guess my point was that he will sell you non OE or OEM, but he tell you up 
front or gives you the choice, as opposed to the retailers who send you the URO 
trash for the OEM price when you could get OEM.

And what he told you is not something that Autohauz or any other online 
retailer is going to tell you, mainly because they don't know...

Re: [MBZ] Trent Issue

2013-07-06 Thread Larry T

Rusty -
Congratulations on your successes!  Of course there was never any doubt 
in our minds ;-)


re Trent.  I only just started following this thread - it always amazes 
me when someone enters a thriving business and kills it in such a short 
time.  IMO it comes back to them not having any skin in the game - at 
least from my very small understanding of the deal you and Trent 
Have/had.   I hope it will not affect you financially but fear it will.  
Too bad WorldParts didn't offer to buy the inventory - especially since 
much of it probably came from them ;-)   Just readabout him getting 
clipped for $24K - that can hurt almost everyone ...

months on the phones after the initial training, I have added 62 accounts and 
sold them quite a bit. Keep in mind to become an account you have to buy a 
minimum of 2k a month. The account base they have given me has increased 37 
percent over the same 2 months. It looks like I may keep my job! Keep posting

If he's not planning to send any parts, I'd think it very wise to stop 
listing them.

Good luck on the contact part.

Don't know if you still have any pull with Trent - I tried to access the
catalog online for 91 300D and after clicking on 1991, then Mercedes I
tred to click 300D but when I did I was told there were no parts
available.  I tried 6 or 7 times with the same result. BTW, I sent a
note on the Contact Us page. Thought this might help

Re: [MBZ] TRENT update

2013-07-05 Thread Larry T
i didn't see the email either -- but as far as selling MB parts being 
easy or hard -- I did it for a while as a home business - and I learned 
a LOT about profit margins when I went out of business -- I sold a lot 
of parts to a lot of people - all of my customers came back to me over 
and over - it's al about being nice and treating people as you wish to 
be treated if a part is delayed they need the truth - whenever it 
happened I told the customer why an they never had a problem.


I suspect Trent is having some problems we are not being told about.   
He may not have the cash to buy parts not in inventory - using one order 
to pay for another will always bite you in the butt eventually


The eay things stand now, I don't think I'm willing to risk placing a 
order with him


Thanks -

Where is the email with these obstacles or any returned phone calls?

You hit it right Rick. I talked to Trent's brother tonite. He got shafted for 
24k. Me. A few more bucks. My customers got the big shaft and for that I 
apologize. I probably should have just shut Bimby down. Hindsight is 20/20. 
Once again I apologize for this, I will endorse Gary because he does care for 
older Mercedes, but I will not agree that he has my knowledge of the car in 
general. My issues with him are over, I have moved on. I miss all my customers 
but as I said 4 months ago I had to take care of me. I have, and will continue 
to answer anyone's email.

So what did Trent's brother say the problem is?  If he has a $24k nut in the 
game he must have some idea of the guy's story.  And must have Had some 
confidence in the guy.

Apology accepted, but it's not your fault.

Nah. Should've sold it to me. I'd've put Mao to work on the web and phones and 
then he couldn't complain about not having work anymore. :D

Wise decision, especially in light of the coming changes in the health care

  The local detective says he has left voicemails on TF's cell phone but
 no response.  He figures that might be why TF has shut down the 800 #,
 nervous things are closing in.  Says he has been busy chasing dopers the
 last coupla days but has not forgotten about this guy, will let me know
 what sorts out.

At this point, giving him a break is long past.  He's overstayed his 
family-emergency-personal-issues time-frame.  If this isn't shady 
shenanigans, he should have communicated with us in the last 3 weeks. 
His last message to the list was June 13 and said:


I am still here, don't like all the negative, if you think selling MB 
parts is easy, your wrong. Rusty spoiled you, I will be sending all of 
you an email explaining what my obstacles are to overcome. And yes Tom 
was with Rusty, he sent me a message yesterday. This list is like a 
family, I am sorry I am letting you down.



Where is the email with these obstacles or any returned phone calls? 
I haven't seen or heard anything of the sort, and until I do, he's not 
deserving of any breaks.  Sorry.

Rusty had no parts.  Neither does Gary or anyone else.  All these
businesses are drop ship, often from all the same places.  There is no way
for the small guy to stock such a huge number of parts.  This is what
worldpac is, a huge importer and distributor of parts.  And there are many
other businesses that do the same.

There are exceptions, like AutohausAZ I think... they import some things
themselves, which is why they're so cheap. At least thats how it used to
be, not sure now.

2013-06-20 Thread Dieselhead
This is not about pro or anti Gary, you stated he is a good man, I 
disagreed based on how he behaves towards others.
We cut him plenty of slack when he was having his melt down and gave 
him more than one chance to calm down and play nice.

He didn't so got got the boot.
Now that he is in a position to quietly have the last laugh, he once 
again shows his true nature of vindictiveness.
Instead of professionally using this opportunity to gain market 
share in the parts biz, he slanders people and businesses, 
essentially destroying the buymbparts.biz brand name and in my view, 
by doing that, dirtying his own name as well.
Sure he might be good at getting the right part from a warehouse to 
your house and if that is what is most important to people that is 
up to them.

Rusty had no parts.  Neither does Gary or anyone else.  All these
businesses are drop ship, often from all the same places.  There is no way
for the small guy to stock such a huge number of parts.  This is what
worldpac is, a huge importer and distributor of parts.  And there are many
other businesses that do the same.

There are exceptions, like AutohausAZ I think... they import some things
themselves, which is why they're so cheap. At least thats how it used to
be, not sure now.

crapped upon by Rusty's replacement, and Rusty is not to be blamed for that. 
I also know that most of us have old cars (the newer ones, too) that 
occasionally need parts supplied in an honest, timely and dependable manner.


Can't we all just get along, enjoy each other's camaraderie and continue 
to learn and gain from our very diverse experiences without any bickering 
and the tendency to cut one another occasionally?  Having grown up in a 
very large family, though, and having been married for 56 years (+ 4 years

Basically he has accused Trent of being a crook based on a few 
complaints on internet forums, plus also put a pretty big slur on Rusty.

fundamental of its decline.  Gary founded banned that way and lived to
that creedo, most did not like that.  That is not off his rocker in
the least.  Check the archives in richarde's basement.

be sickening. All of you who are guilty of this should be ashamed of
yourself. You continued to kick a man who was already down. You believe
one sided stories that don't completely add up.

I guess I really don't care what happened in the past.  Let's all just let
it go.  If Jabba can supply the parts you need at a good price and in a
timely manner then who really cares what his opinions are?

Most of us shop at Walmart here in the USA.  Most of us agree they have
done some bad things.  Some of us just plain can't afford to shop anywhere
that doesn't provide the best price no matter what has happened.  Rusty is
gone, Trent is gone, I have dealt with Gary when he worked with Rusty with
nothing but excellent service and he seems to be the guy that can do the
job.  Do we have a better choice other than to ask him to curtail his
personal feelings on the list and allow him the chance to provide us with a
convenience we miss?

All getting along is a difficult thing. Why should Rusty get along with someone 
who will not return 17K of his money? Why should we get along with a Trent who 
has stolen from us?

Personally, I have no gripe with Gary as he has never wronged me. He may be a 
bit wacky, but when it comes to selling car parts he appears to be principled. 
He also seems to be quite knowledgable with respect to older cars. He also 
claims to not sell China crap. I respect that.

I can understand your desire for more proof Hendrick.  But this is a pretty
ugly road to go down and certainly doesn't belong here.

What happened in the past is the past.  Its was ugly.  It created a lot of
bad feelings.  It was bad for business, bad for our community, and bad for
many individuals.  None of us will know all the sides of the story and the
details of what happened.  And many of you wouldn't want to hear it.  And
boy how things have changed since then.

My point is simple:  don't believe everything that you've been told from
one side.  You don't believe everything from the extreme right or left talk
radio, do you? (hint: you shouldn't)

Looks like we have more pro-gary folks than anti-gary at this point.  The
anti-gary folks are holding on to a one-sided story In the end and some
hurt feelings about being called some names  Doesn't everyone just want a
reliable source of good parts?  The pro-gary folks are enjoying good
service, good parts, and good knowledge.  Sounds like the kind of guy who
should be part of this group, no?

I understand the loyalty to Rusty in the past.  He did a lot for many of
us, hosted parties, helped establish the sense of community we have here
(or, whats left of it now).  Now Rusty is no longer here for us in that
role due to a business decision that we can all understand.  It was the
right time to move on.  The need for loyalty has past.  In fact, shouldn't
someone be questioning how it is that Rusty came to make a deal with Trent
at all?

I know if I were selling a business, I'd be looking for an agreement that

 That's what a supposed honest businessman has done, accusing someone of
 improper and or illegal dealings without proof. Is this slander?

 The fact is that I stand to gain nothing from this whereas it is in Garys
 interest to discredit his opposition, whether he has proof or just heard a
 few stories does not seem to matter.
 Are these the actions of a professional and supposed good man?
 Sure Gary might be good at what he does, heck he even himself says so, so
 it must be true. Perhaps that is a cultural difference but up here if you
 start going on about how good you are people will think you're a bit of a
 wally.
 I know a few people who will happily spend a few hours telling you how
 good they are and that makes for fascinating conversation.

 I don't know the details of the divorce but I do know it spilt over into
 this list and it turned pretty ugly. And no I can't understand his actions,
 what did this list have to do with the split?
 If I was in his shoes and wanted to sell car parts to owners I would not
 be abusing my customers, instead be dealing with the situation privately,
 basically I think he threw a big tantrum in public, sure it might not have
 been the best part of his life but sometimes you just got walk away and
 cool off for a while.

 The question here is not who started the list or what have you not, the
 point here is that Gary is not a good man, he is bitter individual who is
 hell bent on revenge.
 Of course sure I am making a terrible mistake and Gary is the good guy
 wanting to warn people about the evils of dealing with other parts vendors.
 Yeah right, this is the moment he has been hoping would come along and now
 he is making the most of it, if he was such a good guy why would he say:

 i founded buymbparts 15 years ago and have watched it get more and more
 viciously crooked till it has reached the point where it is at now. even
 though i've had nothing to do with this company for many years now, these
 are sad days for me. i feel sort of like a parent whose child has run away
 from home and now i see him on the nightly news evolved into a hardened
 criminal

 Now that is strong stuff, he does not seem to care about destroying
 someone else or their livelihood (including the reputation of Rusty
 Cullens). What proof does he have of these viciously crooked things? I
 think the only thing he has is his believe that Rusty did the dirty on him,
 which we where all supposed to agree with and when some didn't he turned on
 us in a heart beat but no I got that wrong, Gary is a good guy and we are
 all vicious crooks evolving into hardened criminals.

All I can remember is one of us, probably me, posted a Rockauto price on a Uro

wanted about $80 and Rock wanted about $20 plus $15 shipping or something. I'm

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match

2013-06-19 Thread Gerry Archer
The Gary/Jabba problem can be divided into three parts; retail business 
matters, other business matters, and social.


RETAIL BUSINESS:  Gary seems to have a good track record in selling parts to 
list members.  I would buy parts from him.


OTHER BUSINESS:  Gary does not have a good track record.

SOCIAL:  Gary comes from NYC where his strong personality is either 
overlooked or acceptable.  However, it grates on the sensibilities of many 
list members from other parts of the country and from foreign countries.


If Gary should seek to rejoin this list which is both social and DIY, then 
the list owner should institute an iron-clad rule:  no personal attacks, 
and let him rejoin IMO.


My 2 cents,

I can understand your desire for more proof Hendrick.  But this is a pretty
ugly road to go down and certainly doesn't belong here.

What happened in the past is the past.  Its was ugly.  It created a lot of
bad feelings.  It was bad for business, bad for our community, and bad for
many individuals.  None of us will know all the sides of the story and the
details of what happened.  And many of you wouldn't want to hear it.  And
boy how things have changed since then.

My point is simple:  don't believe everything that you've been told from
one side.  You don't believe everything from the extreme right or left 
talk

radio, do you? (hint: you shouldn't)

Looks like we have more pro-gary folks than anti-gary at this point.  The
anti-gary folks are holding on to a one-sided story In the end and some
hurt feelings about being called some names  Doesn't everyone just want a
reliable source of good parts?  The pro-gary folks are enjoying good
service, good parts, and good knowledge.  Sounds like the kind of guy who
should be part of this group, no?

I understand the loyalty to Rusty in the past.  He did a lot for many of
us, hosted parties, helped establish the sense of community we have here
(or, whats left of it now).  Now Rusty is no longer here for us in that
role due to a business decision that we can all understand.  It was the
right time to move on.  The need for loyalty has past.  In fact, shouldn't
someone be questioning how it is that Rusty came to make a deal with Trent
at all?

I know if I were selling a business, I'd be looking for an agreement that
protected my interests.  And the buyer should do the same.  Check the
books, reputation, relationships, etc.

Something doesn't add to up to me.  I've seen several mentions of Trent
selling for amazingly low prices... genuine parts for more than 40% off of
list.  (which isn't possible, unless you happen to own a Mercedes Benz

2013-06-19 Thread Hendrik and Fay
This is not about pro or anti Gary, you stated he is a good man, I 
disagreed based on how he behaves towards others.
We cut him plenty of slack when he was having his melt down and gave him 
more than one chance to calm down and play nice.

He didn't so got got the boot.
Now that he is in a position to quietly have the last laugh, he once 
again shows his true nature of vindictiveness.
Instead of professionally using this opportunity to gain market share in 
the parts biz, he slanders people and businesses, essentially destroying 
the buymbparts.biz brand name and in my view, by doing that, dirtying 
his own name as well.
Sure he might be good at getting the right part from a warehouse to your 
house and if that is what is most important to people that is up to them.

Perhaps but the point I was making is that Jabba might be trying to look 
all professional and such but a pro doesn't accuse others of illegal

Basically he has accused Trent of being a crook based on a few 
complaints on internet forums, plus also put a pretty big slur on Rusty.
My way of thinking is that I would not want to deal with such a

Basically he has accused Trent of being a crook based on a few

2013-06-18 Thread Jaime Kopchinski
I find it very difficult to not respond to your comments Hendrik, as they
are quite strong.

Just a few basics:
 - I think we can all agree that Trent has taken several people's money and
not delivered anything.  Its been going on long enough for him to try to
make this right.  I can't imagine any excuse that would clear this at this
point, as nice as that would be.  And I can't imagine anyone here would
disagree with this.  I think its safe to say it:  hes a crook.
- I believe Gary is the best in the business.  I buy a lot of parts and
I've tried a lot of places.  Hes the only one that actually cares about
what he sells and delivers as promised.
- Gary has had his lively hood destroyed by a messy divorce.  While he
acted in a way that offended many, I can understand his actions.  Put
yourself in his shoes.
- I'm certainly not looking to start a debate about who did what and who
started what, but consider this:  Rusty, Gary, and Richard together played
a significant role in creating this community and creating a successful
online parts business.  Anyone who knows the three for a long time would
agree:  None of them could have accomplished anything without the each
other.

I find the endless flow of destructive words by many of you against Gary to
be sickening.  All of you who are guilty of this should be ashamed of
yourself.  You continued to kick a man who was already down.  You believe
one sided stories that don't completely add up.

Everyone needs to stop and really think about whats going on here.  You're
making a terrible mistake.

And Hendrick:  its a shame you're so vocal about something which you hold
little or no stake in.  I hope you sleep well tonight, thinking about the
effects of your comments on the livelihood of a good man.

Completely disgusted,
Jaime

Find the archives.
My memory recalls the story of bimby to be that much of the concept
and foundation of online benz parts was not in either Rusty or
Richarde experience.  Gary is the innovator, essentially.  Rusty
(parts biz) and Richarde (online coding) were the vehicles.  Find the
archives in Richarde's basement.

There is nothing about what Gary ever did that should gather a comment
such as off his rocker - that is totally specious and off his
rocker is the fundamentally acceptable manner of the forum in which
the fun was experienced.  Banned is by definition a place where abuse
is expected.  If a person cannot stand the format - banned is not the
place for them.  Abuse at banned is down about 99% which is a
fundamental of its decline.  Gary founded banned that way and lived to
that creedo, most did not like that.  That is not off his rocker in
the least.  Check the archives in richarde's basement.

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match

2013-06-18 Thread Hendrik and Fay
Well Trent may be acting illegally and he may be a less than honest 
business man, based on what I have read from others experiences.
However does this give give Gary the right to accuse him of an planned 
scheme to steal and also imply that Rusty has had a part in that?
That's what a supposed honest businessman has done, accusing someone of 
improper and or illegal dealings without proof. Is this slander?


The fact is that I stand to gain nothing from this whereas it is in 
Garys interest to discredit his opposition, whether he has proof or just 
heard a few stories does not seem to matter.

Are these the actions of a professional and supposed good man?
Sure Gary might be good at what he does, heck he even himself says so, 
so it must be true. Perhaps that is a cultural difference but up here if 
you start going on about how good you are people will think you're a bit 
of a wally.
I know a few people who will happily spend a few hours telling you how 
good they are and that makes for fascinating conversation.


I don't know the details of the divorce but I do know it spilt over into 
this list and it turned pretty ugly. And no I can't understand his 
actions, what did this list have to do with the split?
If I was in his shoes and wanted to sell car parts to owners I would not 
be abusing my customers, instead be dealing with the situation 
privately, basically I think he threw a big tantrum in public, sure it 
might not have been the best part of his life but sometimes you just got 
walk away and cool off for a while.


The question here is not who started the list or what have you not, the 
point here is that Gary is not a good man, he is bitter individual who 
is hell bent on revenge.
Of course sure I am making a terrible mistake and Gary is the good guy 
wanting to warn people about the evils of dealing with other parts vendors.
Yeah right, this is the moment he has been hoping would come along and 
now he is making the most of it, if he was such a good guy why would he say:
i founded buymbparts 15 years ago and have watched it get more and more 
viciously crooked till it has reached the point where it is at now. even 
though i've had nothing to do with this company for many years now, 
these are sad days for me. i feel sort of like a parent whose child has 
run away from home and now i see him on the nightly news evolved into a 
hardened criminal


Now that is strong stuff, he does not seem to care about destroying 
someone else or their livelihood (including the reputation of Rusty 
Cullens). What proof does he have of these viciously crooked things? I 
think the only thing he has is his believe that Rusty did the dirty on 
him, which we where all supposed to agree with and when some didn't he 
turned on us in a heart beat but no I got that wrong, Gary is a good guy 
and we are all vicious crooks evolving into hardened criminals.


If Gary is a good man he should have thought a lot harder about what he 
writes in public and how he treats people, especially those he has 
issues with.
And I do not follow your logic, we should not have kicked Gary even 
though he was happy enough to kick back and now that it is his turn to 
do some kicking, he certainly wasted no time putting on the pointy boots.
I see what he wrote on MBworld as a major kicking, perhaps Trent 
deserves it but my view is that a few kicks where aimed at Rusty as 
well, who is feeling very bad right now but no that's right Gary is the 
golden child and Rusty is the mean one.


Anyway we are all entitled to our view of the world, you reckon he is a 
good bloke who got done over, I reckon he has a mean streak that comes 
out now and then to play.
What everyone else thinks is up to them but I do remember we gave him a 
fair chance on here to calm down and play nice but that did not happen.


Basically that is what I see, you're welcome to prove me wrong and tell 
us exactly what makes Gary such a good man, I don't see it right now but 
I do not have closed mind either.


Hendrik
who would love to say that Gary is a good bloke but needs more proof of 
this and no the ability to organise shipment of parts from A to B does 
not constitute good guy status
