John Witt in Ovid MI.
Paid him for a block and he went dark. Just curious if someone knows if something happened to him.
Thanks

He seems to do that a lot. Some people have had no issues, while others- well, they ended up like you for a long time. He has about the worst business acumen I've ever seen.

He was just on FB this week trying to screw somebody.

All you have to do is read his posts to know to avoid him.

Ask some of his victims how they feel about him.

That would be great. Thank you very much.
He can be a little tough to communicate with but we were in regular contact via text, until two weeks ago. We were on track for shipping and then ... no more responses and now his phone wont receive texts or calls. Just seemed odd. I know shipping a block is not easy so I have been (and will continue to be) patient. He has been cool with everything so far, I just figured something might have happened to him with the lack of recent contact.
In answer to your 2nd post, He has a 455 block & crank for me.
Thanks again.

Its going to Maryland. He has all the details, he even helped me set up the freight deal. All he needs to do is drop it off. He has had issues with phone & email in the past but has always surfaced eventually. I've just been unable to call or send texts to him these past two weeks, I just keep getting a Verizon message. Thats why I was checking to see if anyone knew him and if something had happened to him.
Thanks for chiming in!

See that's bullshit. Lame *** sellers have people stand up for them. Not saying that's you W-32. You suck as a seller or whatever and play everyone differently according to your attitude that day or whatever. That is F Ed up. Step up. These posts always have people stepping up for whatever fool. Look out for each other. Chumps should be called out. Period.

Totally agree, what happened to treating people like you want to be treated. Really makes me wonder why he gets support from otherwise good people on this site, really comes down to credibility.

Thank you for your efforts. They are greatly appreciated!
He texted me this morning but again, I am unable to send him a text or call him. I called Verizon and explained what is happening and they said it sounds like he blocked my number based on the automated msg I get. I would guess this was by accident considering his response this morning. I believe his intentions are good, its just a simple mix up with his phone issues and the possibility he blocked my number accidentally. If you could, please let him know I am unable to respond.
Thanks again Oldolds88

You may try sending him a PM. I wouldn't get my hopes up though. Dude's really strange in my opinion.

He may be a totally honest guy but I agree he is one strange dude. This day and time it is hard to believe anybody could have as much trouble with emails and text as he does. I think what he has is a failure to communicate.

Ok, that meme has to go.

That's Jackie Gleason playing Buford T. Justice in Smoky and the Bandit, and his most famous line was "What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law."

The line "What we've got here is failure to communicate" is Strother Martin's character of the Captain in Cool Hand Luke.

If he is the late Chris's brother, they are certainly not alike.

I have to disagree with the Buford comment.
"When I get home, I'm gonna smack yo momma because there is NO WAY you came from my loins!" is more recognizable.

"He ain't making no possum pecker out of me" was pretty memorable. Gleason was great in that movie.

I don't want to get off track but I think my favorite movie quote was Highway ( Clint Eastwood ) from Heartbreak Ridge
"Be advised, I'm mean nasty and tired. I eat concertina wire and **** napalm and I could put a round through a fleas *** at 300 yards. So why don't you go hump somebody else's leg mutt-face before I push yours in " it's on you tube but it long so I didn't post it.
I also love Quincy and Moon from True Grit when they ask about Ned Peppers messed up lip and John Wayne tells them his lip wasn't always that way and he tells them he messed it up Quincy says you shot him in the upper lip ? what was you aiming for ? John Wayne tells him " HIS LOWER LIP " classic.

So my Ex bosses words. He couldn't say it though. His boy is dumber than dumb. Edumacated though so he has proof that he is a Jeanie-us.

Love that line

Boy there ain't no way....

Just for reference for those who think he's having contact issues,he was on FB this morning posting. Evidently those who know him like him and that's understandable. However his business practices leave a lot to be desired. I sell a lot of parts and have had for years. I do my very best to get my packages shipped pronto. I sell some items on eBay and I have shipped them the same day 90% of the time. There's only one way to do business,the right way.

Thank all for the help and comic relief. Great quotes indeed! Definitely miss Jackie for sure.

As for the original issue at hand, I think we may be back on track. I got an email yesterday saying he hopes to get it out today so we'll see. I tried responding to the email but did not hear anything back. He is certainly a little tough to communicate with but again, I believe his intentions are good.
Thanks again everyone for the help and lively comments.
