Thread: May need a helper in Columbus, OH

Im going to take the opportunity to post here as I can kinda see the train coming down the tunnel on this one though I sincerely hope I am wrong.

Fibercation.com, GR8racingfool has an excellent and long standing reputation in our community, not just in character but also in the work he does. He does not post such things as this without reason. We are an extremely close knit community. We are perhaps not as large as other automotive comminities but we do help one another out.

Im sure you are aware that most people buying stuff on line or anywhere else for that matter like to have some assurance that if something goes wrong or something is not as advertised that we like to have some recourse in which to resolve that matter. Methods such as credit cards and PayPal offer those venues.

I can tell you straight up that I dont buy without such safety nets in place unless I know the person personally. Heck I take PayPal in my business. Yeah, it costs a little in fees but it gives the customer the assurance they have means to take action and that they have an advocate if something should go wrong. Heck, most of us are accustomed to having those fees added to the price of our purchases. So please understand that GR8racingfool is just trying to protect himself. Checks and Money Orders dont offer any buffer should it be needed.

I truly hope this situation turns out for the best. Perhaps you could post up some of your work, there might be some interested in starting with some small stuff. If you would like to sell here by all means contact one of the Admins here and we can certainly talk with you in what all is required.

I for one would be interested in seeing some of your work. I know that it would go a long way in perhaps generating some interest here in our community. Since you are new perhaps you could post up some of the feed back you have received about your work or any references. Anything that would reassure everyone that you have a well estabilished reputation. We welcome you here, just understand that were are extremely protective of one another. I have been a part of other automotive forums for different cars in which there was no sense of any type of bond between the members and I much prefer being a part of this community and knowing that if for some reason I needed help that there would be no shortage of members willing to help out in anyway they could.

The vendors we have here have spent a LONG time building and establishing solid reputations in all sorts of areas dealing with our vehicles and it is my hope that this situation works out and that you too start down that same path of building a quality and solid reputation. We have such high quality vendors with such stellar reputations that I often think they have spoiled us in that we are a little skittish of anything less. They treat us in the community well and we do all we can to show our appreciation and I hope that you want to be a part of that but also observe the same standards.

i live in ohio proly an hour from columbus, let us know how it turns out if its bad i let the local boards kno if they dont already. good luck
