Thumbs up www.********.us helpful for finding difficult to find parts

Hey guys,

I recently (less than a day ago) posted a thread about how I broke a fitting on one of my accumulators and asked where to find the part. A member (the post was deleted? so i dont remember who said it but thanks again) pointed me towards www.********.us . I emailed them and got a response within the hour. I really appreciate being able to find the small mechanical parts like that and just wanted to let you guys know its a good source for those hard to find items.

About the post that pointed me towards the site getting deleted, I don't know if it was deleted by the user or by an admin but I was searching through all the sites under the "Marketplace" for awhile and would probably still be looking if no one had posted the site or if I had checked the thread after the post was deleted.

You may not find much of his posts because he comes in to this forum under several aliases and spams. He's been banned several times.

While he has given SOME helpful advice to people, he has also been a firemouth and attacked several members including the hosts of this forum(myself included), the webmaster and posted obscene pictures in other parts of this site. He's cocky enough to think he knows more on w126 than the entire forum combined.

Now, how much did this guy Rex pay you to write this thread up? Its almost too funny to read this thread as its everything what Rex would have wanted to write up himself.. and has tried and failed. I am pretty sure he asked you to write this thread up either way. Pretty sad

If you're in CA, I find it hard to believe that you would want to (definitely not have to) source ubiquitous parts in Michigan.

In any event, from the way the individual in question (aka "resident board troll") has carried himself around here it is plainly evident that the person has a pathologic mental condition, and I would advocate not giving him any business on principle. I cannot state this strongly enough. He has been nothing but antagonistic to everything this community stands for, not to mention quite abusive and insulting to many members - except to syphon off business (down to plagiarizing the site name), of course.

In short, "the helpful member" who pointed you to that website was none other than one of the many schizophrenic personalities of the board troll, re-directing you to his own online store, run by his alter ego. The likely reason you received a prompt reply is that the guy apparently is a semi-professional internet stalker tearing down some wrecks in his back yard, and not a car mechanic at all.

My point is that if you enjoy this community and what it represents, it should be unthinkable to abuse the liberty this board provides to sing the praises of the terrorist troll who has pledged to destroy that very resource. Let that marinade for a moment, support this community, and buy your Benz parts local.

This thread is being monitored by attorneys of Stellar Enterprise. We have also notified the administrator of these violations on 8/21/2006.

Thank you.
Thank you, I could not have made my point more clearly myself.

I guess the response time of 35 minutes speaks for itself. And of course there is nothing pathologic at all about having threads monitored by a legal firm, let me assure you (at least it finally explains the exhaustive use of the plural form). Nor is there anything in the TOS regarding making a yard sale of one's mental capacities, or lack thereof. So, carry on.

Speaking of yard sale, and to answer your question: I have never done, nor will I ever do, any business with spamworld.r.us.

Before I go for my hourly consultation of the TOS, let me consult the ignore feature so if you don't hear from me or my stellar legal team again, that is probably why.

Guys,

I snapped the fitting and went out for the whole day going place to place looking for a part that would have fit. When I wasn't able to find it, I decided to post a thread on here. I didn't get any replies, except for one that pointed me towards *******.us and they had the part. I don't know about any of the drama surrounding this, but I just wanted to share my experience. If you look at any of my other posts, you'll know I don't get paid to write them or start trouble with anyone. Even though it's insulting for you guys to accuse me of those things, I still support this forum and will continue to frequent it.

Just for future refferences, there are many other sources to buy from and more often than not much cheaper that his prices which he has quoted in the past on the forum and his asking prices for some stuff on ebay.

Each time he comes back here as a bottom-dweller. He knows he's not invited to join this forum and apparently seems to be a lawsuit going on (according to his forum) between this site and his.

This message is hidden because www_benzworld_us is on your ignore list.
Probably his best post ever, IMO.

Looking back at that thread, you were directed to the site by the spammer himself. He's been banned and is no longer welcomed to participate in this forum. He seems to have a problem grasping that concept. From now on, any mention of sellc will be removed unless its in the off topic section of this site. No mention of sellc or their agents will be allowed as its considered spam. Proceed any business deals with them at your own risk.
