    I didn't get a chance to say anything before the thread was shut down so.
    Damn 13,000 views on that thread! I’ve sold a lot of parts that have come off my truck as I've upgraded and I have never had this big of an issue. I appreciate the people that defended me and spoke up, along with all the people that messaged me asking for my side of the story. It comes down to not being able to get the last small parts off the truck and forking over the money to get the parts removed. The cost of these air bags new is $350, I originally had the air bags for sale at the price of $180. He offered me $160 and I said yes because he was a Tacoma World member and that’s always better than a craigslist deal. The package has been sent and it came to a total of $38. Including the cost to remove the bolts/hangers. I hope that the mods allow me to stay on the site and I apologize to adriancast for the delay. It has been a busy month for me.

    Thanks
    Kevin

    I have always used the " honesty is the best policy " theory. If you had made an effort to communicate a little better with the buyer, he may not have trashed you the way he did

    Little respect for posting this but you got off easy. Glad he has his parts. Sometimes selling stuff isn't making money.

    This. Your integrity is 10x more valuable. t times, it's better to lose money and keep a solid reputation and dignity.

    I was thinking people overreacted the whole time. People like to jump to conclusions that everyone is an ass hat trying to screw you over. Just shake it off and don't worry about it. Communicate better somehow next time lol

    Comes down to selling something before all the parts are available. That is all.

    hey, at least he manned up and posted an apology, even though it had a caveat...

    Everyone makes mistakes. Personally, I couldn't believe that thread was ever even made in the first place.
