Rusty had no parts.  Neither does Gary or anyone else.  All these
businesses are drop ship, often from all the same places.  There is no way
for the small guy to stock such a huge number of parts.  This is what
worldpac is, a huge importer and distributor of parts.  And there are many
other businesses that do the same.

There are exceptions, like AutohausAZ I think... they import some things
themselves, which is why they're so cheap. At least thats how it used to
be, not sure now.

Casting aspersions on banned? 

That's a surprise; I got the impression that banned was nothing so gentle as 
casting...

Perhaps dousing one another in aspersions might be a better way of explaining 
my understanding ;)

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match

This is not about pro or anti Gary, you stated he is a good man, I 
disagreed based on how he behaves towards others.
We cut him plenty of slack when he was having his melt down and gave 
him more than one chance to calm down and play nice.

He didn't so got got the boot.
Now that he is in a position to quietly have the last laugh, he once 
again shows his true nature of vindictiveness.
Instead of professionally using this opportunity to gain market 
share in the parts biz, he slanders people and businesses, 
essentially destroying the buymbparts.biz brand name and in my view, 
by doing that, dirtying his own name as well.
Sure he might be good at getting the right part from a warehouse to 
your house and if that is what is most important to people that is 
up to them.

I can understand your desire for more proof Hendrick.  But this is a pretty
ugly road to go down and certainly doesn't belong here.

What happened in the past is the past.  Its was ugly.  It created a lot of
bad feelings.  It was bad for business, bad for our community, and bad for
many individuals.  None of us will know all the sides of the story and the
details of what happened.  And many of you wouldn't want to hear it.  And
boy how things have changed since then.

My point is simple:  don't believe everything that you've been told from
one side.  You don't believe everything from the extreme right or left talk
radio, do you? (hint: you shouldn't)

Looks like we have more pro-gary folks than anti-gary at this point.  The
anti-gary folks are holding on to a one-sided story In the end and some
hurt feelings about being called some names  Doesn't everyone just want a
reliable source of good parts?  The pro-gary folks are enjoying good
service, good parts, and good knowledge.  Sounds like the kind of guy who
should be part of this group, no?

I understand the loyalty to Rusty in the past.  He did a lot for many of
us, hosted parties, helped establish the sense of community we have here
(or, whats left of it now).  Now Rusty is no longer here for us in that
role due to a business decision that we can all understand.  It was the
right time to move on.  The need for loyalty has past.  In fact, shouldn't
someone be questioning how it is that Rusty came to make a deal with Trent
at all?

I know if I were selling a business, I'd be looking for an agreement that
protected my interests.  And the buyer should do the same.  Check the
books, reputation, relationships, etc.

Something doesn't add to up to me.  I've seen several mentions of Trent
selling for amazingly low prices... genuine parts for more than 40% off of
list.  (which isn't possible, unless you happen to own a Mercedes Benz
Sounded too good to be true.

[MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match

they can probably be retrieved by Rusty.  Retrieval from Chicago might be

anywhere
that doesn't provide the best price no matter what has happened.  Rusty 
is
gone, Trent is gone, I have dealt with Gary when he worked with Rusty 
with
nothing but excellent service and he seems to be the guy that can do 
the

job.  Do we have a better choice other than to ask him to curtail his
personal feelings on the list and allow him the chance to provide us 
with

a
convenience we miss?

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match

[Gerry Archer]

The Gary/Jabba problem can be divided into three parts; retail business 
matters, other business matters, and social.


RETAIL BUSINESS:  Gary seems to have a good track record in selling parts to 
list members.  I would buy parts from him.


OTHER BUSINESS:  Gary does not have a good track record.

SOCIAL:  Gary comes from NYC where his "strong" personality is either 
overlooked or acceptable.  However, it grates on the sensibilities of many 
list members from other parts of the country and from foreign countries.


If Gary should seek to rejoin this list which is both social and DIY, then 
the list owner should institute an iron-clad rule:  "no personal attacks", 
and let him rejoin IMO.


My 2 cents,
Gerry

From: "Jaime Kopchinski" 

I can understand your desire for more proof Hendrick.  But this is a pretty
ugly road to go down and certainly doesn't belong here.

What happened in the past is the past.  Its was ugly.  It created a lot of
bad feelings.  It was bad for business, bad for our community, and bad for
many individuals.  None of us will know all the sides of the story and the
details of what happened.  And many of you wouldn't want to hear it.  And
boy how things have changed since then.

My point is simple:  don't believe everything that you've been told from
one side.  You don't believe everything from the extreme right or left 
talk

radio, do you? (hint: you shouldn't)

Looks like we have more pro-gary folks than anti-gary at this point.  The
anti-gary folks are holding on to a one-sided story In the end and some
hurt feelings about being called some names  Doesn't everyone just want a
reliable source of good parts?  The pro-gary folks are enjoying good
service, good parts, and good knowledge.  Sounds like the kind of guy who
should be part of this group, no?

I understand the loyalty to Rusty in the past.  He did a lot for many of
us, hosted parties, helped establish the sense of community we have here
(or, whats left of it now).  Now Rusty is no longer here for us in that
role due to a business decision that we can all understand.  It was the
right time to move on.  The need for loyalty has past.  In fact, shouldn't
someone be questioning how it is that Rusty came to make a deal with Trent
at all?

I know if I were selling a business, I'd be looking for an agreement that
protected my interests.  And the buyer should do the same.  Check the
books, reputation, relationships, etc.

Something doesn't add to up to me.  I've seen several mentions of Trent
selling for amazingly low prices... genuine parts for more than 40% off of
list.  (which isn't possible, unless you happen to own a Mercedes Benz
Sounded too good to be true.

That's what a supposed honest businessman has done, accusing someone of

The fact is that I stand to gain nothing from this whereas it is in Garys
interest to discredit his opposition, whether he has proof or just heard

few stories does not seem to matter.
Are these the actions of a professional and supposed good man?
Sure Gary might be good at what he does, heck he even himself says so, so
it must be true. Perhaps that is a cultural difference but up here if you
start going on about how good you are people will think you're a bit of a
wally.
I know a few people who will happily spend a few hours telling you how
good they are and that makes for fascinating conversation.

I don't know the details of the divorce but I do know it spilt over into
this list and it turned pretty ugly. And no I can't understand his 
actions,

what did this list have to do with the split?
If I was in his shoes and wanted to sell car parts to owners I would not
be abusing my customers, instead be dealing with the situation privately,
basically I think he threw a big tantrum in public, sure it might not 
have

been the best part of his life but sometimes you just got walk away and
cool off for a while.

The question here is not who started the list or what have you not, the
point here is that Gary is not a good man, he is bitter individual who is
hell bent on revenge.
Of course sure I am making a terrible mistake and Gary is the good guy
wanting to warn people about the evils of dealing with other parts 
vendors.
Yeah right, this is the moment he has been hoping would come along and 
now

he is making the most of it, if he was such a good guy why would he say:

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match

[Mountain Man]

Search Fiorini in Sterling, IL on one of the directory search sites.
Fiorini owns Sterling, essentially - seems like a big name in
Sterling.  I used dexknows and did not see any Trent listed directly.
Perhaps someone could do the search and make some calls trying to
locate Trent - pose as a friend concerned for his well-being or
somesuch.  Perhaps we might find $$?  Perhaps we might find what
happened to Trent?

Sounds like Rusty might still be in a position to repossess if he doesn't keep 
getting money for it.
I can't see how it could be the same business, as I don't think Kaleb has the 
time that Rusty had been putting into it.
I'd have offered to take it off Rusty's hands, but I'm pretty much totally 
without cash right now.

All I can remember is one of us, probably me, posted a Rockauto price on a Uro

wanted about $80 and Rock wanted about $20 plus $15 shipping or something. I'm 
99% sure he never offered to sell below cost on this list.

I agree.  Maybe it is none of our business but it seems to me that if I was
financing a business to a guy that would not return my calls I would be on
his doorstep wanting to know why.  Rusty said to contact him if there was a
problem but we don't hear too much.

Perhaps, Rusty can repo it as Trent will unlikely make his payments? Does it 
work that way?

Oops... clicked send too fast.

Anyway, how did Trent offer to sell parts below dealer cost!?  What

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match

[Jaime Kopchinski]

I can understand your desire for more proof Hendrick.  But this is a pretty
ugly road to go down and certainly doesn't belong here.

What happened in the past is the past.  Its was ugly.  It created a lot of
bad feelings.  It was bad for business, bad for our community, and bad for
many individuals.  None of us will know all the sides of the story and the
details of what happened.  And many of you wouldn't want to hear it.  And
boy how things have changed since then.

My point is simple:  don't believe everything that you've been told from
one side.  You don't believe everything from the extreme right or left talk
radio, do you? (hint: you shouldn't)

Looks like we have more pro-gary folks than anti-gary at this point.  The
anti-gary folks are holding on to a one-sided story In the end and some
hurt feelings about being called some names  Doesn't everyone just want a
reliable source of good parts?  The pro-gary folks are enjoying good
service, good parts, and good knowledge.  Sounds like the kind of guy who
should be part of this group, no?

I understand the loyalty to Rusty in the past.  He did a lot for many of
us, hosted parties, helped establish the sense of community we have here
(or, whats left of it now).  Now Rusty is no longer here for us in that
role due to a business decision that we can all understand.  It was the
right time to move on.  The need for loyalty has past.  In fact, shouldn't
someone be questioning how it is that Rusty came to make a deal with Trent
at all?

I know if I were selling a business, I'd be looking for an agreement that
protected my interests.  And the buyer should do the same.  Check the
books, reputation, relationships, etc.

Something doesn't add to up to me.  I've seen several mentions of Trent
selling for amazingly low prices... genuine parts for more than 40% off of
list.  (which isn't possible, unless you happen to own a Mercedes Benz
Sounded too good to be true.

I guess I really don't care what happened in the past.  Let's all just let
it go.  If Jabba can supply the parts you need at a good price and in a
timely manner then who really cares what his opinions are?

Most of us shop at Walmart here in the USA.  Most of us agree they have
done some bad things.  Some of us just plain can't afford to shop anywhere
that doesn't provide the best price no matter what has happened.  Rusty is
gone, Trent is gone, I have dealt with Gary when he worked with Rusty with
nothing but excellent service and he seems to be the guy that can do the
job.  Do we have a better choice other than to ask him to curtail his
personal feelings on the list and allow him the chance to provide us with a
convenience we miss?

All getting along is a difficult thing. Why should Rusty get along with

Personally, I have no gripe with Gary as he has never wronged me. He may 
be a bit wacky, but when it comes to selling car parts he appears to be 
principled. He also seems to be quite knowledgable with respect to older 
cars. He also claims to not sell China crap. I respect that.

Well you make some interesting points, but we are talking about car

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match

[Michael Canfield]

I guess I really don't care what happened in the past.  Let's all just let
it go.  If Jabba can supply the parts you need at a good price and in a
timely manner then who really cares what his opinions are?

Most of us shop at Walmart here in the USA.  Most of us agree they have
done some bad things.  Some of us just plain can't afford to shop anywhere
that doesn't provide the best price no matter what has happened.  Rusty is
gone, Trent is gone, I have dealt with Gary when he worked with Rusty with
nothing but excellent service and he seems to be the guy that can do the
job.  Do we have a better choice other than to ask him to curtail his
personal feelings on the list and allow him the chance to provide us with a
convenience we miss?

Dan, Gary did actually come up with the name buyMBparts, the company however, 
he had nothing to do with. It was operating as Wholesale Parts, Inc. for 2

Perhaps but the point I was making is that Jabba might be trying to look 
all professional and such but a pro doesn't accuse others of illegal 
activities unless there is some sort of proof.
Basically he has accused Trent of being a crook based on a few 
complaints on internet forums, plus also put a pretty big slur on Rusty.
My way of thinking is that I would not want to deal with such a 
character, even if he had the best price and service, or even offered 
free shipping to Oz.
Perhaps when Okiebenzparts.com gets up and going that great guy and good 
friend Kaleb will do me great deal on a new muffler.

I don't know what happened in the past, either.  'Don't even remember 
hearing so much (nor anything of substance) about it at the time - 'don't 
even know when "it" was.  'Must have been irrelevant for my needs then and 
certainly is now.  I do remember that Gary has always been very pleasant 
with me and has given me good service.  I do know, too, that we've been 
crapped upon by Rusty's replacement, and Rusty is not to be blamed for that. 
I also know that most of us have old cars (the newer ones, too) that 
occasionally need parts supplied in an honest, timely and dependable manner.


Can't we all just "get along," enjoy each other's camaraderie and continue 
to learn and gain from our very diverse experiences without any bickering 
and the tendency to "cut" one another occasionally?  Having grown up in a 
very large family, though, and having been married for 56 years (+ 4 years 
"together" before that), I know how things can get a bit "testy" 
occasionally, but we still love each other and would not really hurt each 
other.

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match

[Hendrik and Fay]

Well Trent may be acting illegally and he may be a less than honest 
business man, based on what I have read from others experiences.
However does this give give Gary the right to accuse him of an planned 
scheme to steal and also imply that Rusty has had a part in that?
That's what a supposed honest businessman has done, accusing someone of 
improper and or illegal dealings without proof. Is this slander?


The fact is that I stand to gain nothing from this whereas it is in 
Garys interest to discredit his opposition, whether he has proof or just 
heard a few stories does not seem to matter.

Are these the actions of a professional and supposed good man?
Sure Gary might be good at what he does, heck he even himself says so, 
so it must be true. Perhaps that is a cultural difference but up here if 
you start going on about how good you are people will think you're a bit 
of a wally.
I know a few people who will happily spend a few hours telling you how 
good they are and that makes for fascinating conversation.


I don't know the details of the divorce but I do know it spilt over into 
this list and it turned pretty ugly. And no I can't understand his 
actions, what did this list have to do with the split?
If I was in his shoes and wanted to sell car parts to owners I would not 
be abusing my customers, instead be dealing with the situation 
privately, basically I think he threw a big tantrum in public, sure it 
might not have been the best part of his life but sometimes you just got 
walk away and cool off for a while.


The question here is not who started the list or what have you not, the 
point here is that Gary is not a good man, he is bitter individual who 
is hell bent on revenge.
Of course sure I am making a terrible mistake and Gary is the good guy 
wanting to warn people about the evils of dealing with other parts vendors.
Yeah right, this is the moment he has been hoping would come along and 
now he is making the most of it, if he was such a good guy why would he say:
"i founded buymbparts 15 years ago and have watched it get more and more 
viciously crooked till it has reached the point where it is at now. even 
though i've had nothing to do with this company for many years now, 
these are sad days for me. i feel sort of like a parent whose child has 
run away from home and now i see him on the nightly news evolved into a 
hardened criminal"


Now that is strong stuff, he does not seem to care about destroying 
someone else or their livelihood (including the reputation of Rusty 
Cullens). What proof does he have of these "viciously crooked" things? I 
think the only thing he has is his believe that Rusty did the dirty on 
him, which we where all supposed to agree with and when some didn't he 
turned on us in a heart beat but no I got that wrong, Gary is a good guy 
and we are all vicious crooks evolving into hardened criminals.


If Gary is a good man he should have thought a lot harder about what he 
writes in public and how he treats people, especially those he has 
issues with.
And I do not follow your logic, we should not have kicked Gary even 
though he was happy enough to kick back and now that it is his turn to 
do some kicking, he certainly wasted no time putting on the pointy boots.
I see what he wrote on MBworld as a major kicking, perhaps Trent 
deserves it but my view is that a few kicks where aimed at Rusty as 
well, who is feeling very bad right now but no that's right Gary is the 
golden child and Rusty is the mean one.


Anyway we are all entitled to our view of the world, you reckon he is a 
good bloke who got done over, I reckon he has a mean streak that comes 
out now and then to play.
What everyone else thinks is up to them but I do remember we gave him a 
fair chance on here to calm down and play nice but that did not happen.


Basically that is what I see, you're welcome to prove me wrong and tell 
us exactly what makes Gary such a good man, I don't see it right now but 
I do not have closed mind either.


Hendrik
who would love to say that Gary is a good bloke but needs more proof of 
this and no the ability to organise shipment of parts from A to B does 
not constitute good guy status

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match

[Jaime Kopchinski]

I find it very difficult to not respond to your comments Hendrik, as they
are quite strong.

Just a few basics:
 - I think we can all agree that Trent has taken several people's money and
not delivered anything.  Its been going on long enough for him to try to
make this right.  I can't imagine any excuse that would clear this at this
point, as nice as that would be.  And I can't imagine anyone here would
disagree with this.  I think its safe to say it:  hes a crook.
- I believe Gary is the best in the business.  I buy a lot of parts and
I've tried a lot of places.  Hes the only one that actually cares about
what he sells and delivers as promised.
- Gary has had his lively hood destroyed by a messy "divorce".  While he
acted in a way that offended many, I can understand his actions.  Put
yourself in his shoes.
- I'm certainly not looking to start a debate about who did what and who
started what, but consider this:  Rusty, Gary, and Richard together played
a significant role in creating this community and creating a successful
online parts business.  Anyone who knows the three for a long time would
agree:  None of them could have accomplished anything without the each
other.

I find the endless flow of destructive words by many of you against Gary to
be sickening.  All of you who are guilty of this should be ashamed of
yourself.  You continued to kick a man who was already down.  You believe
one sided stories that don't completely add up.

Everyone needs to stop and really think about whats going on here.  You're
making a terrible mistake.

And Hendrick:  its a shame you're so vocal about something which you hold
little or no stake in.  I hope you sleep well tonight, thinking about the
effects of your comments on the livelihood of a good man.

Completely disgusted,
Jaime

Perhaps but the point I was making is that Jabba might be trying to look 
all professional and such but a pro doesn't accuse others of illegal 
activities unless there is some sort of proof.
Basically he has accused Trent of being a crook based on a few 
complaints on internet forums, plus also put a pretty big slur on Rusty.
My way of thinking is that I would not want to deal with such a 
character, even if he had the best price and service, or even offered 
free shipping to Oz.
Perhaps when Okiebenzparts.com gets up and going that great guy and good

Re: [MBZ] Trent vesus Jabba death match

[Hendrik and Fay]

Dunno, the way he was talking over at MBworld put me off, stuff like "I 
am the best parts vendor, blah blah blah"
There is being confident in your abilities and aiming to be the best but 
as far as declarations of being best, that is done by others.
Plus he was not shy in sinking the slipper into Trent, without knowing 
anything about what is going on.

Not a lawyer but Trent could have grounds to sue for slander.
Basically I think Jabba is trying to behave but I can still sense a 
bitter and angry man lurking somewhere in the great mass.
Far as I am concerned he showed his level of commitment to us by 
basically taking a big dump on his potential customers here. Was there 
ever an apology offered?

Guess he is that good he can afford to crap an a few customers.
However end of the day it's up to Kaleb as it doesn't affect me, I have 
my little parts dealers over here and as always shipping kills the deal.
Speaking of which, don't you people have bricks and mortar Euro parts 
stores over there? I have two here, which technically are trade only but 
I have a business number to show, which is all they care about.

who has included Gary Hursts post on MBworld below, FYI


you may not be so fortunate. i'm thinking this is buymbparts.biz is a 
ponzi scheme. basically, a few orders are shipped to "prove" that it is 
a legit business so more money can be brought in. after 3 months, there 
is maybe 100,000 dollars in outstanding orders, but that money will not 
be in the bank as the flood of chargebacks is expected by the schemers. 
so maybe there is 5.000 in the bank for the bank to collect from and 
everyone else will be left with a loss.


in other words, your bank may not pay you if they cannot recover the 
money from the account it was deposited into when you purchased from 
buymbparts.biz. there may not be any money left, so my advice is try to 
get what you can ASAP


i founded buymbparts 15 years ago and have watched it get more and more 
viciously crooked till it has reached the point where it is at now. even 
though i've had nothing to do with this company for many years now, 
these are sad days for me. i feel sort of like a parent whose child has 
run away from home and now i see him on the nightly news evolved into a 
hardened criminal


i know for a fact that there are honest, conscientious and competent 
parts vendors out there as i am one myself. i personally believe i'm the 
best one out there and many agree with me, but maybe you do not and 
ought to buy from someone else. but why would you ever buy from an 
outfit such as buymbparts.biz? is trent part of the mercedes community ? 
does he have any track record at all inmercedesparts 
? 
can you find any public record at all about him other than he gets 
arrested for drunk driving? why does he look so much better than some 
email from nigeria?


it boggles the mind how easily he/they has been able to pull this con 
off. hopefully your bank will pay you off even if the money is not there 
anymore.
