Well...I dont know of anything "new" necessarily but a couple of months ago someone on the forum made a post regarding them and commented on how they had been waiting for their parts that they ordered in Carlisle (August 2004). Evidently this person couldnt get any kind of good info from Chuck and PDS and was kind of left hanging.

Chuck finally decided to join the forum and respond and immediately copped a serious attitude and basically said F*** everyone.

Needless to say...Chuck was banned from the forum that very same night and hasnt been seen on here since.

With the attitude he displayed, I wouldnt care what their quality or prices were, they would NEVER get my business.

I can see just by the way he advertises his Mdse what kind of guy he is. I thought maybe he changed his ways, looks like it will be hard to trust him.

That would be me! Well, I decided to take my refund from Chuck a month or so ago, since he did not produce the chrome pieces I ordered and I still don't have my refund. I just left a message today saying that this is the last call since he has not contacted me . Next step is to call Mastercard although it is probably too late for them to get involved. Also consumer protection and the BBB. Any other suggestions? This has gone on since last August for $875.00. If anyone lives close to PDS, I would appreciate someone stopping by to give him hell and get busy taking care of business. This is just not right! This is Doug Ps What are they selling on ebay? Maybe they are getting out of the business and I'm going to get screwed!

Wonder if he's been un-banned yet? Kind of a slow night here, we could use the entertainment.

Sorry Doug, I'm sure you're not as amused by Chuck's antics. Hope your situation gets resolved soon.

Is there anyone else out there that ordered parts at Carlisle and did you have any problems? Has anyone ordered over the phone and had problems?

He was banned because he was being a total *****.

I dont remember his screen name but I remember looking at it later that night and I forget what it says, but you can tell when a person is banned.

If you started that old thread, look through your old posts and dig up that one and then find his screen name and check out his profile.

I dont have time right now but I'll see if I can find it later.

The only remaining thread he posted in...all his posts were edited out by the admins. I don't even recall his user name.

Sent Doug a PM with the details.

He is selling some washer and coolant tank covers as well as a chrome air bridge. His descriptions of products are wordy and his feedback on ebay isn't good. He angered some people there also. He received good feedback on the letter sets which I later found out that they weren't manufactured by him. I just thought he maybe could be trusted now, but it doesn't look promising. I can see now why Aaron got fed up with the whole situation.

Don't forget to lodge an official complaint with eBay too. They are interested in eliminating fraud from their community.

Tom....do you still have your little archive of your PM history with Chuck anymore? That would give us some insight into what his screen name used to be and we can see if he is still banned?
