For what it’s worth I feel I should say something about my dealings with BBOY.
I contacted him when he listed a lot of E9 parts for sale. After several exchange of Private messages and emails we agreed on prices for among other things , couple of fenders and when I accepted his offer and asked how to pay him, he backed out saying “ they are not for sale and I decided to hold on to them for a while longer”. Furthermore , before we reached the agreed upon price several things during our discussion didn’t make sense and honestly made me feel uncomfortable. That is when I reached out to Markos and he put my mind at ease saying he had received parts he had purchased from BBOy.
Ultimately we never did any business with each other
I hold no ill feeling toward BBoy . But It seems to me like he has taken this forum for grant it. He seems to forget that this forum makes it so easy for all enthusiasts to connect with each other remotely and exchange information, educate , buy , sell parts, cars and get advice. Some people could also make money doing their business here! Nothing wrong with that. We have active members as far as Australia. Many professional people like Chris Macha , Markos , and other experts spend time away from their business, family and more just to further their interest by helping this community. They don’t make a dime doing it! They do it purely for their love of these beautiful E9s!
It should go without saying that mutual respect takes time to build. One should examine his or her action and/ or reaction when it come to dealing through a forum like this for a long run. Members , rightfully, tend to build an image of the characters of other forum members they interact, or do business with.
I hope BBOy takes my comments in such a way that would help him improve his interactions with others and make better impression!
I certainly wish him all the best !
