You haven't read Melissa's Story in the archives I presume. Do a search on Melissa's story or something like that, or just a search on Parts Place on find the story. It's an amazing and humerous thread (except to Melissa ) The gist of the story is that Melissa took her van to Parts Place and complained that the engine was making noise and no one could fix it. They offered her like $200 for the van which she naively accepted. Later Parts Place fixed the noise, a sticky lifter or something simple, then called her up and offer to sell her the van back for $3000 or something like that, because she told them she really liked the van and hated to part with it. In the thread the Parts Place owner offers his defense, and then is basically trashed by the list. I don't shop there, but make up your own mind. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com |
