Default +.::*SLOW_EM1*::.+is a SCAMMER...

Purchased a itr tranny with obx lsd on oct 31,2011 he sent me pictures of the tranny seemed legit all gears looked great and case had one spot where it was welded on the bottom but he said it didnt leak not one drop of oil so i took his word for it, im verified through paypal and he said he'd ship out the following day(nov 1,2011) and get me a tracking number well the next day passed and i texted him asking if he was able to make it to ups x3 and called twice(no response), he then texted me on (nov4,2011) and said he shipped it and gave me the tracking number, he apologized for not getting back to me right away due to braking his phone at work which is understandable(**** happens) i then get the tranny on November 7,2011 unpack it broken vss, no shift fork or rubber boot as promised i texted him he said he but the stuff in their, there was a hole in the box so again i said oh well **** happens(i have spare parts from my other tranny) i pick up the tranny and realize theirs rattling inside i thought maybe the vss broke inside and theirs a piece making the rattle i then unbolt the case come to find out its pieces of the gears inside the trans, two gears are completely destroyed, ive been calling/texting for the past two days and still not one response, ive filed a claim through paypal they told me to ship the item back and id recieve my refund once it shows he has recieved the item. Austin Christensen ( +.::*SLOW_EM1*::.+)is a bad business man and is not a man of his word i still have yet to hear from him...
his f/s thread http://hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?t=2990499
he emailed me pictures of the tranny the day before I paypal'd him


pictures of the tranny when I took the case off


you can see pieces of the gears on the diff..

Yes it does thank god for paypal just gotta ship the trans back and wait for delivery conformation and they'll refund me back my cash, he finally texted me after two days and said he was busy working graveyard a text only takes a second to send, I'm
holding off on shipping it back due to him saying he'll pay to have it fix soo well see if it's true...

Funny how??? First you text me sayin that you open up the case and everything looked legit then when I get the trans and I opened up the case 3rd gear is destroyed then you backtrack and say Justin Smith(builder of the trans) ****ed you over...umm that doesn't make sense i have the whole conversation on my iPhone I didn't erase not one text and no I haven't fallen off the face of the earth paypal told me to loose contact with you, if your soo worried about the tracking
number why don't you pull your head out of your *** and call paypal or ups for that matter since it was shipped back under the claim number you gave me not only that but I had to give the tracking number to paypal in order to get my refund. Your a joke man learn how to
do business, I've sold plenty of stuff on here and not once have I ever not text someone back or made them wait 2-3 days ****tard

Issue was resolved due to paypal all I had to do was ship him back the trans and once I gave paypal the tracking number I got a full refund and didn't have to pay for shipping..

I try not to do business with people who portray poor grammar. That's a huge red flag in my book.
