Re: [MBZ] Trent parts ban
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.

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.

Re: [MBZ] Trent Issue
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 ...

Re: [MBZ] TRENT update
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 - LarryT On 7/3/2013 1:51 PM, Benz Hogs wrote: At this point, giving him a break is long past.

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?

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.

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match
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.

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match
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. Hendrik who is not that vindictive HEAR HEAR!

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match
Well you make some interesting points, but we are talking about car parts not the guy marrying your daughter, so I am sort of of the mind that if he can deliver the car parts I need with minimal drama and good service, then his past or current trash talk and whatever is mostly irrelevant. He might be whack, but if he delivers stuff I pay for, and provides some value-add to the selection thereof, he is miles (kilometers) better than a thief. But then again I don't have any strong opinions about whatever happened in the past, whoever's version of it, but to each his own... I do understand some might be offended or angry or not in tune with the noise. I have corresponded with our local Sheriff dept guys, they are of the opinion that the Sterling IL po-pos should be dealing with the guy since that is where the problem resides, but since they won't one of them said he would give them a call and try to light a fire under them. It was also a point of discussion that wire fraud (taking your money over the phone/net, not refunding, etc.) is a federal interstate crime but the feds probably don't care, they have bigger fish to fry. --R On 6/18/13 8:33 PM, Hendrik and Fay wrote: Dunno, the way he was talking over at MBworld put me off, stuff like I am the best parts vendor, blah blah blah There is being confident in your abilities and aiming to be the best but as far as declarations of being best, that is done by others. Plus he was not shy in sinking the slipper into Trent, without knowing anything about what is going on. Not a lawyer but Trent could have grounds to sue for slander. Basically I think Jabba is trying to behave but I can still sense a bitter and angry man lurking somewhere in the great mass.

My way of thinking is that I would not want to deal with such a character, even if he had the best price and service, or even offered free shipping to Oz.

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.

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.

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match
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, Gerry ...

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match
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.

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match
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 activities unless there is some sort of proof. 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 character, even if he had the best price and service, or even offered free shipping to Oz. Perhaps when Okiebenzparts.com gets up and going that great guy and good friend Kaleb will do me great deal on a new muffler.

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match
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.

Kaleb wrote: I always liked Gary but I think he is still off his rocket a bit. He was talking about how he founded buymbparts 15 years ago. Bs. 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.

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match
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 On 19/06/13 12:25, Jaime Kopchinski wrote: I find it very difficult to not respond to your comments Hendrik, as they are quite strong.
