My free tool gave away

[Richard Cranium]

It seams that every 3 weeks or so I post a free tool, I am thinning the herd. This time I have a Plvmb #2034 tappet adj. wrench. The pat. date cast into it is July 9th 1935. I would like this to go to some one whom has or wants a Plvmb collection. Not to see it on evil bay next week. So here is the deal. If you want this post that you are the first to ask for it here so every one knows it is spoken for. Then PM me your info so I can mail it to you. I would like just shipping for this...Here is a pic. Thanks Richard

 

[tweety420]

I want it..

 

[Richard Cranium]

Tweety, you did not send me an P.M. with your info...Richard

 

[drivesitfar]

Richard: nice guesture and i'm not interested in this one and it might be gone anyway, but do you or anybody know what it is or how it's used?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Yes, you used it to adj. the Tappets, or lifter on the motor. You would put a socket on it that fit the rocker arm and then loosen the nut and turn the knob on top which moved a flat blade screwdriver to make the adj. and then tighten down the nut again...

 

[Hemlock]

Would like to have that for the valves on air cooled VW engines!

 

[Richard Cranium]

Hemlock, Being you don't care what brand. I also have a snap-on V21A tappet adj. wrench that I will give to you, All I am asking for is the postage be repaid. I have you address already, But I don't normally mail stuff out until Fridays.. Let me know if this works for you...Rich

This is my last one. Sorry for any one else wanting one. But if you do, let me know. If some one backs out I will keep everyone in mind...Rich

 

[Richard Cranium]

It has been 3 days now, and no reply from Tweety420, even though he was online tonight. So I guess he has flaked out on me. So this is up for grabs again.

 

[tweety420]

Im sorry, i though i sent the pm. I was having problems with my internet that night. I will send you pm right now.

 

[Richard Cranium]

ok, then they both are claimed and both people has sent me their info. I will send these out on friday

 

[Hemlock]

Came in today, thanks! Looking forward to using it. Always so much easier with the right tool...

 

[Richard Cranium]

Thank you Hemlock, You are the only one to pay out of the two, It has been two weeks and all I got was a pm from tweety telling me he got the tool I sent. Rich

 

[Richard Cranium]

After 3 Weeks is it time to call some one a DEAD BEAT. Come on man, all I asked for was my shipping back, I gave the tool away. I guess I was right when I said he had flaked out on me. ****

 

[ScottsGT]

Amazing......

Can't even cover the cost of shipping. I guess it's part of our entitlement society these days.

 

[ev88f]

Wow what a scumbag...guess he got what he wanted.

 

[signcrafter]

Looks like he hasn't been on in a while. Got his email or home address? We can all email him or write letters to him calling him out.

 

[Garage Junky]

wow.

 

[TAMPAGT07]

Don't be a "Wenzel" , tweety420.... Send Richard some of your dope money..... Never ever do business with someone who has 420 in their username.......

 

[HICKS]

How much was shipping? I'll help out if you would like.

 

[Smokeshow69]

Any other PLVMB or proto tools that need a new home?? I am a collector but use them gently!

Next time limit your freebies to people who have 100+ posts.

 

[snowpro90]

"Wow" is right! Sorry to hear this.

 

[Loscaldazar]

Next time limit your freebies to people who have 100+ posts.

I think 7,727+ posts would be better

(note, at time of writing this, Zeke had 7,726 posts).

 

[Richard Cranium]

The postage is less than 9.00, it is just the feeling of getting screwed. I should of known he was a flake when he didn't get back to me until after I had posted it up again to be given away. Thanks for the offer to help, but it is not the money, And Yes I sent he a email also plus P.M.s .Richie

Just felt I needed to let people know, next time it may be hundreds.

 

[Richard Cranium]

tampagt07, 420 is legal in Washington State.
This is NOT my jeep. Just a pic.

Concur. The only buyers that have bailed after committing to purchase some of the tools I advertise in the GJ classifieds were junior members.

[bobbycos]

next make postage prepaid on "freebies"

that'll "weed" out the deadbeats

 

[toomanytoyzz]

It's probably better that he didn't get it. He'd probably just turn it into a bowl to smoke his weed in.

 

[Hemlock]

Sad way to respond to such a cool offer.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Good on you Richard, sorry to see you got screwed over by Whashisname.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I have mailed a lot of stuff out before I got paid, It just upsets me. I have another pile of stuff to get rid of, and one bad apple had dampened my spirit. Oh well, like I said I wanted to make the GJ people aware of a possible DEAD BEAT. Have a great day..****

 

[Zeke]

It's probably better that he didn't get it. He'd probably just turn it into a bowl to smoke his weed in.

That's the thing, he did get it.

 

[mrborohachi]

has anyone tried these tappet adj. wrenches on 90's hondas or 80's toyotas? Snap On used to have the 10 & 12mm ones with the knob being a black schrewdriver hard handle, now they are branded Blue Point.

 

[ChevyEFI]

If he stated he would pay the postage and you mailed it USPS, turn his *** into them. I don't know that it would be a tangible defined act of fraud, but he deserves it.

 

[toomanytoyzz]

That's the thing, he did get it.

Oh wow!! Sorry, but I didn't read the entire thread. Thought he offered it to this ****** and he backed out for a free item.

This dude is a special breed of a$$hole. We need to get his cell # and send him 1500 texts letting him know of his character.

Send him an email through his avatar.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I emailed tweety again today asking for the postage. I see lots of people has looked up his profile. I was the second person to look at his profile when I sent him the tool. ****

 

[TAMPAGT07]

It reads:

tweety420 has not made any friends yet

No kidding!

So I take it most of us are not potheads....

 

[ClineWrench]

So heres the thing. I don't want the spirit of your idea to be killed RC. I think what you've done is beyond spectacular. Its also a good way to help the younger "just starting" mechanics.

Having said that, whats the shipping, I'll pay it.

Hopefully in the future, recipients will understand its not a FREE item, its for the cost of the shipping.

 

[Richard Cranium]

cline, I made it clear, If you read this from the beginning you will know. I have had several offers from people willing to pay or help, It isn't the money it is getting screwed that bothers me. I shipped it in a small flat rate box for it was less than 9.00, so it is not breaking the bank. I just felt that I owned it to GJ to let people know, I would hate to hear some one sent him hundreds of dollars of stuff and got stiffed. Rich.
