The worst vendor ever......

I wanted to share this with you the AMG C Class Community
I think all of you know about my other ride and how important it is to me
About 18 months ago this vendor on Internet Brands RX7 board named FDNewbie offered a GB for a replica of the RX7 Spirit R Key (Last Year) of the car in a red finish. I really wanted it real bad. I immediatley placed an order for two. 18 months go by. No regular updates, no emails, just a lot of pissed off people that gave him their money.
Anyways he has the product finished and realeases pictures and requests shipping information.

Because I left negative feedback a few months ago on the boards I-Trader System the vendor decided to refund my money without asking me. Thats right he has the finished product in his hand, lets me know he is ready to ship, gets my shipping confirmation, and then he pulls the plug, excludes me and another guy who did the same thing. Only to have the last laugh. Its unbelivable!!!
remember this board is also owned by Internet brands and the RX7 board moderators have been silent on this while intentionally deleting posts that criticize the GB vendor.

Read it here....

Come on, Moosie. What does this really have to do with a C32 or C55?

No trying to be a hard a$$ or anything but, this thread belongs elsewhere.

It's the price we pay for drive an extinct animal that has a street value in the teens. In fact, that is the age of the people buying these cars and coming into the forum now; teens.

I read through your post here and looked at the other forum. I am not seeing how anyone here would ever encounter that vendor, unless they own the same combination of cars you do.

Sorry to bury the thread here. Best fit I could find.
