Buying parts from 2blu442

Hello there, I looked for a feedback section but saw none, so I decided to post up here. I just wanted to spread the word on 2blu442 on here; If you are thinking about buying parts from him, do it, without hesitation! He communicates well online, is very honest about the parts in question, and packages very well also. I would highly recommend him!

Good guy to deal with. I bought my 455 for the 48 from John. Just hope his head does not swell to much over all this mushy stuff

Thank you for the kind words guys!

oldzy, if I can find a cave cricket I'll put one of those in the next package When I wrapped the intake up it must have been too cold for the spider to hop out and crawl up my arm!

Dennis, the moderators have been discussing the pros and cons of a feedback section. At this time its felt there may be more risk of bad marks carrying over from other differences between people than the benifit of positive marks from good transactions. One suggestions would be if your considering a purchase of more than a few dollars you might do a search and read through postings made by that person or with that persons name in them. That may provide an idea if they sound like someone you can trust. Or use paypal or a Postal Money orders for payment. Something that would protect you if the transaction goes bad.

In the past there have been several informal "shout outs" like this one expressing appreciation toward another member. I know this one has my name on it, but I think these are helpful.

Pat... I'll try not to read this more than 3 or 4 times a day this coming week

Me too, not only is he easy to deal with John is more than fair in pricing as well as the descriptions of the parts. I've bought more than a few parts from John with quick turnarounds as the body shop broke or lost my parts.

I couldn't agree more. It was great meeting him this last summer when I bought my 455 from him. My husband can't say enough nice things about our transaction.

Just this afternoon, I opened up the carefully packed carton of parts from John. The packing was very thoughtfully done, and the parts were exactly as described in words and photos!

Deal with 2blu442. I know that you'll be pleasantly pleased...

Thanks, John!
