Jeff,

If you wanted the real story I wish you would have called me. Now you have created a mess bacause Mike Carnahan tried to go in to Mike Kratchmers post and fix it. Mike Carnahan was afraid to make a post about his car for sale because of the posts he made last week and the abuse he took, so Mike Kratchmer made one this morning without us knowing about it and it was stated wrong. Mike Carnahan saw the post after Kratchmer told Carnahan he made it. Kratchmer gave Carnahan his password to yenko.net so he could change the original post about me not being there, etc.

The point Kratchmer was trying to make, was to let people know that the car was for sale on ebay. He screwed that one up, by saying something that didn't make sense. I am not sure where any wrong doing was made on Ebay, as far as anyone here or elsewhere running up the price on the car. I made Mike an offer as did Mike Kratchmer. I don't see anything illegal or deceitful about that. The used car price for a 2001 Z28 retail is $19,500, the reserve on this car is $20,500. The BUY IT NOW price is $23,000. Anyone trying to make money on this car here is pretty far fetched.

I am going to redo the post like it should have been said. Kratchmer didn't think his post would do anything but tip people off to a car for sale on Ebay. Again, a first time poster that didn't know that there was a section here referencing "For Sale" cars.

Seriously look at the facts here and tell me someone is trying to deceipt someone about the car, lie about the car to make it worth more (if anything this post might bring the saleable value down) or run up an Ebay price by placing the first two offers well under the reserve.

I do commend you on your effort to get to the bottom of stuff, but finding a scam here you didn't. I had a long good talk with the guy that sold me the Motion stuff on Ebay that gave you my info on Hugger66. I wasn't aware that it was such top secret info. I don't use it here because I want people to know who I am when I make a post. As did Mike Carnahan when he made the posts last week. I wish you guys would treat first time posters with a little bit of respect. If they dont know the rules and regulations of this site . . . pull them aside and tell them privately, instead of nationally embarressing them.

You can't get me to run away from this site guys. I have been a Chevy Enthusiast for 20 plus years. These cars are my hobby as they are yours. Make fun of me if it makes you feel good. I have had many people my whole life mess with me because of my name . . . Matty, Mattress, Murphy's Oil Soap, etc. Make fun of me because I am Polish or whatever, I have heard them all; But, like I said last week, I will only get fired up once here and I already used that card.

And yes, the beers are on me, that is an Irish problem I have . . . [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
