Be careful!!!
About 3 years ago, when I was less knowledgeable, I bought a box of really good Ruckstell parts from Bob at a very reasonable price. Upon arrival, I opened the box, was very satisfied with the content, and put it in a back room of my house. A year later, after locating a Ruckstell housing, I realized that the perfect Ruckstell parts are for TT.
So I called Bob and explained that I hadn't realize the difference, totally my mistake, and a year after receipt.
First he couldn't recall selling the parts to me (????). So I offered to send pictures of the box with his return address still on it.
Then he said how could he know that I hadn't swap out the contents of the box. Also, that he was not obligated to do anything, since a year had elapsed.
Technically that is correct, of course. If this had been an EBay transaction I would have understood. But on the Forum, in Model T circles, where things are more about character and principle than making money, different standards apply and I had let my guard down.
With the exception of one other negative experience (with someone who is well respected on the forum), I have had many great interactions with other Model Ters, who I will probably never meet face to face. But I felt a brotherhood and I felt that it was not about the dollar.

I have bought several items from Bob and only have the best to say about him and everything I have purchased from him. Through our seller/buyer relationship, we have a long lasting friendship.

Guys thanks but it's OK
Everyone has a deal gone south but who here would give a full refund a year later and I'm sure it's here in the board archives if anyone cares rehash a deal
Just so everyone knows haven't sold TT Parts in a long time meaning years
Rich? I don't keep records past 60 days if you still feel screwed send me a link to the AD and email me picture's of the parts let's see what we can do
Otherwise let's just leave it

This is the true joy of having the classified section set up in the “forum” format. I too have felt the burn of a “non believer” airing their opinion in public. This is a complication that motivates us regulars to operate with an “above and beyond” type mentality. Nv Bob has sold off a number of items over the last couple of years as he has been switching from T’s to steam... it’s no surprise he doesn’t remember every sale

After several emails over the past week this customer is still waiting to hear from you.

Lots of TT folks here on the classifieds. I'm sure if Rich lists the Ruckstell parts for sale, he will likely recoup his costs and possibly realize a small profit also. I'm sure someone would like to acquire the parts for their TT project. Give it a shot and see what happens. :)

I'm bought from Bob and always been happy and satisfied. Buying parts and not knowing the difference between T and TT is not an excuse. Neither is waiting a year later to find out. Study your needs and order and buy accordingly.

As stated in my opening post, I was wrong (see my opening post). It's the price I pay for being a new-bee.
But, this was never about money.
Telling me that I was possibly swapping out parts was below the belt.
I never received a response to my email of Jan 28th.
I apologize for having integrity, character, and guts.

Terry, PLEASE contact me.
