Re: Where is Nate?

Ok, I can see that you have edited your reply quite extensively Nate.
I am going to reply to what you said below and then some.

If you say I am selfish and whatnot, yes you are right. You remember when you first joined the forum and you were living in your parent's home and buying broken down SVXi and have them fixed and flipped at a profit to survive? You remember when you had the plum colored SVX which got stuck with you for a while without being able to flip it? You were running in tough times back then... I started asking you for parts and paying for them (suede pieces off SVXi, lights, miscellaneous trim pieces), instead of purchasing off other sellers just to help you get by... this is how selfish I was.

Alright, so this all starts back about 5/6 years ago now, I'm trying to remember but will have to go in and go over the messages I think I still have.
Danny asks if I'll pick up a Mercedes from NYC and take it to port in NJ. I say sure, this amount. Okay. Then he's wanting me to do maintenance on the car to make sure it is able to drive up onto the ship or he incurs an extra fee. I say I'll do my best. He orders some parts/has me order some to take along on my trip. I say okay, but that's going to be more because now I've gotta tow it down further as I was staying with friends in southern jersey and also for whatever work I have to do. Starts *****ing about extra costs. So I just say fine, whatever. Think he agrees to send a bit more, I forget. Meanwhile, some of the extra parts he wants tucked in the car, certain things placed here and there because supposedly stuff gets stolen once overseas and this other stuff.
This is just a basis to realize how much of a ***** (mostly looking back) it is dealing with him. He expects everything for nothing. I also saw mention in the John Hoffman forwarded email about Danny saying **** about me starting or some other BS which is literally BS and I think there was other stuff that was either lies or made up. In any case, continuing on.
Just to refresh your memory again, the seller of the Mercedes asked me if I wanted transportation to the NJ port. I thought to ask you Nate for this service, at least the funds will go to you instead of "a stranger". You accepted and as you said above, this amount, I never argued. For the maintenance, I believe I asked you to put fresh spark plugs, which is a 5 minute job on such an engine. Big deal. I asked you about the parts to pick up while on your way, you said okay, asked for additional funds, which I paid.
Then there was the glass thing. Since it is a large item and there is a high risk in shipping it overseas, thought to call a glass company and have it replaced before shipping the car. I did the calls myself from overseas and asked them to pass by and replace it at the location you were in. Everything got paid for, so?

We are not done here my friend. I paid you for your services to get the car inside the port, correct? I specifically asked you to call the port and inquire about all paperwork and process needed to get it inside and to be shipped over to me. You never called the port, or inquire about the paperwork needed or anything of the sort.

You went there, found out that some paperwork was missing and left the car outside the port gate on the side of the road and you had the nerve to txt me asking for payment for the service that you have done and that the car is safe inside the Port. I did immediately pay thinking that everything is OK, and because of the time difference, had to wait till the next day to know that the car was never there!!! I nearly died of heart attack and kept calling and calling the Port officials until one of them truely got into his car and kept driving around until he found it, and it was just in the nick of time! Look at this:



You just left it there, and I had to pay an extra $250 for the guy who found it as a reward and towing it inside and another $100 or so for overnight DHL to send the missing documents.

Well, a couple things turns into boxes upon boxes showing up at my parents house (where I was living before moving to PA) while I'm out on trips working on svxes and whatnot. I say, what the hell? And he starts getting pissy. You said, a couple parts, I now have a roomful of boxes of parts.
I was asking you all the time if this is annoying for you correct? Have you ever expressed any anger from this? You definitely said "no problem" "send whatever you want"... isn't it? Show us otherwise!

I mention I am moving, I don't have time, because he is wanting stuff boxed and packaged a certain way but yet, not willing to pay me for any time if storage or anything. So I move to PA, having to leave a lot of stuff behind as I'll slowly move stuff but need necessities at first. Again, he's pissy about this. So finally a few months go buy and I've been able to get most of his stuff to PA, and yeah, I can box it up and ship it off. He gives me an address, whatever. Box it up, take it to FedEx, and ship it. It's like 5 good size moving boxes. Tell him the cost and that I boxed things up as secure and safely as I could using the boxes I have in hand. (Again, he doesn't want to pay for boxes so I'm not going to go out and get some) tell him the total cost and he's *****ing about the shipping price, then *****ing because I want something for my time. So I told him to go screw himself then. Meanwhile, when I told him to stop sending stuff months before, he apparently started sending stuff to Nathaniel Robison (wickedjuggalo on the forum) who can also attest to him not wanting to compensate and *****ing about every cost.
Haha, what you said above is hilarious man. The only thing which is true is your move to Philly and not having time back then. You never told me to screw myself (will prove it down the conversation).
As for shipping to you and Nathaniel, why don't you live outside the US and try to order different parts from different vendors and have them shipped directly overseas. Each item will cost between 60 and 100$ in shipping. Wouldn't you do the same if you can? Anyways things are settled with Nathaniel.

He then informs me he lost his job, had to move back, the economy is bad, blah blah. Hell let me know when to ship them. That was 3 years ago. In March, I said no problem on shipping or whenever it was as he contacted me again. No word at all until the end of October. Sends me an email, then again within a few days on my birthday Nov 1 while now spamming my Facebook with messages. Meanwhile, I'm not even home where the parts are (I've been home all of maybe 3 days over the last two months) and not to mention, extremely busy working on stuff all over the place. Figure I'll respond when I have a chance after the first couple emails and before he starts spamming the **** out of Facebook. From there, it goes to him spamming my Facebook, adding my brother and spamming him with messages and spamming who knows how many other people in every possible way, not to mention getting downright rude in his messages to me. So I block Facebook messages from him.
So when you don't answer and I keep asking, it is spamming right? If your intentions were good, you could have said: Danny I am nowhere near your parts, they are in Honolulu and I am in Canada... whatever... right?

Below will show the last conversation between us on facebook and then... my spams... LOL

Our last real conversation (would there be a screw you there? Nop)

Which is exactly why u am waiting until I have a fresh mind and not just completely pissed off/aggravated to try and keep a cool head but he's made it increasingly hard to do so.
Not that it holds much water, but Mike Davis can attest to how aggravated I was with dealing with Danny as the initial shipping of items was when I had lived in his spare room upon first moving and getting on my...
You are still following excuses Nate. Revert back again to our conversation above, does "No problem Danny!" give the impression that you were aggravated with me?
