    I've had good luck with Garth, purchased a few hard to find things from him on ebay really kinda nice to have someone out there selling old FSJ parts.
    I will be careful in the future though

      Pass through seller

      He gets a good deal you get a good deal he gets a bad deal you get a bad deal. I bought some parts from him after he came highly recommanded. He claimed the parts were as good as new old stock. I got them posted pictures up on the forum then trashed them 60 bucks shot. I'll never buy from him again. Don't buy off line from him it's a guaranteed cheat.

      If you can't make it better why waste your time. No use repeating the orignal mistakes. I'm to old to push it that's why.

        I have only dealt with this guy once.
        Finally shipped parts after 3 months and numerous emails.
        Once the parts arrived they were absolute GARBAGE!!

            FYI , I once made a claim with paypal after the 45 days . I explained that it was not timely because I had been trying to work with the seller . They accepted it and the claim was settled almost immediately .
            Few things are written in stone and it's always worth a try .

                It is possible to find out the name of a seller and address and maybe even phone number....it has been a while since I have had to do this so am not 100% certain on how to do it or what you get. You may even have to have a history with the seller (or buyer) in order to get their info.

                Good luck!

                    Steamship- I recommend posting on IFSJA when you are looking for parts. You'll get better parts and service from fellow FSJ fans.

                    Was it an omen that my '88 GW broke down 2 miles after the purchase and the tow truck broke down bringing it to my house?

                      Yes, i did this already in the past and had several very good and helpful deals. However you can´t get all parts all time here...

                        That would be me.

                        Read the emails between he and I and check the dates on them.
                        I got the impression he sat by his computer waiting for the payment to hit his account and then took off on an extended 4th of July holiday. It seems I basically financed his week long vacation, at least in part.

                        Durring our last thread here on him I emailed him a link. Wasn't long, and I had an email from him with what had been my old phone number wanting to know if it was my number. I simply told him "No, I've moved". Turns out I was correct. He wasn't in the least serious. Haven't heard anything since from him.


                        Hey!!! Garth!!! If you're reading this, you still owe me $472.
                        Oh!! BTW!!! There is no statute of limitations on small claims court filings.

                          I guess I may have gotten lucky. I recently bought an evilbay item of his. Shipping out was (just barely) within his stated handling time. I received the item, well packaged and as described.

                          Lucky me.

                            Hi guys,
                            here is my update:

                            I received all parts in good condition and Garth was very keen to correct this matter. So it is a happy end for me.
                            However we should keep in mind that I had to start this post in this forum to get a contact again.
                            So if doing business - do it safe !
                            That´s my recommendation.

                            Thanks again for sympathies.

                                Garth Wilson (edward sterling) Scam

                                Hi

                                I am in the UK had lots of stuff from Garth in the last 2 years, but recently paid for a number of items, in all about $350.00, no items arrived

                                Can anybody let me now about other cases.

                                I think me may just be scamming international customers.
