Any other scammed by Garth Wilson ( edwardsterlingco ) ?
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
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.
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 .
WOW very sorry to here that but glad you posted it. I have purchased three things from that guy. I never got taken but it's good to know he will do that to a person. I went to my Ebay account and banned him!!
AFTER 48 YEARS OF CAREFUL FINANCIAL PLANNING EVERYTHING I OWN WILL FIT IN THE BACK OF MY 1963 J200 !!!
Is there any way to find out this guys username? Maybe somebody who has access to info when somebody joins could lead us to this guy Whoever this guy is he's affecting fsj's and ifsja and should be banned from fsj's and fsj parts for all eternity
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.
'88 GW 360 V8, Almost stock (locking hubs and electric fuel pump) 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?
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.

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.
