Campfire Dave Milbrand

It's been about a year since I ordered a V8-spec T5 bellhousing off E-Bay from him, and it cost me $150. At the time, I had 2 different styles of V6 T5 bellhousings on hand.
Took me 10 months to get around to opening the box he shipped it in, only to find he cheated me, sending me yet another V6-spec piece of worthless junk, not worth $5.
Never again will I wait to open a delivery, but even so, an honest man would not have done this.
Every time I thought of this for the past 2 months it has made me too angry to type civilly.
Plus I had been advertising something I didn't have, making me look bad. I couldn't get $150 for it even then, but now that I find I don't have the V8 version I paid for, I can't even get $5 for it.
Don't trust this seller. Put him out of business permanently.

Re: Campfire Dave Milbrand

That sucks, but why wait so long before opening the box and inspecting what you bought? Could have been an honest mistake, who knows.

This is me and good old Dave Milbrand's conversation via eBay messages:

Never was born with a silver spoon. Just stayed focused on helping people and started a business with the same infrastructure. Picked up a contract with a global company and upheld those standards, which led me to being Certified by my States Governor's Office. Which in turn opened the door for an opportunity to a Government Contract. Then I became Disabled in my rise. But this vehicle helped me humble myself even more and I want to leave it to my son who just joined the Navy 2 yrs ago.

Oh yeah and not a speck of rust on it at all? You Really splurged to buy an $89 box that you expect to be rust free Ha good one L cheapo you get what you pay for stupid. Next time you want to get something done don't whine like a little bitch I could've sent you a rust free one but when you come across like a little bitch whining that you demand your money back you get pissed on I don't take care of people like you take care of good customers not little bitches

Re: Campfire Dave Milbrand

Thank-you Battmann and Thank-youThirdGen.Org!
The support that I have gotten from you was very influencial. The Ebay Seller: Campfire Dave Milbrand issued me a full refund and I recieved it via Ebay. I just wanted to personally thank all of you. The phone calls that some of you made to this gentleman carried weight and I guess it caused him to have a change of heart.

I hope to be back on the road soon!
