Dudeman
This guy has no integrity! All should be aware that he is self righteous and incongruent . I suggest that all with access to personal message read such to form their opinion in regards to recaro seats eoi. I have spent loads of money with gorilla industries and have found this vendor to be extremely professional and accomodating. I have purchased almost everything on offer from delta v and have also found this vendor excellent to deal with and would recommend highly. Db8 has received loads of coin from me for rims, coilovers and strut braces and has been good to work with... However my experience with dudeman has left me sour and upset.
If this forum is serious about its reputation I expect mediation, if not I expect this post and my membership to be removed.
P.S the irony of dudemans sticky in this section of the forum is not lost on me.

Ah, you sent me two pm's yesterday and I didn't read them until late last night/ am hours this morning. Sure I updated the EOI with more pics, not opening your pm until later but yeah, anyway. I did intend to reply today.
I'm not a retailer or vendor, i'm just some bloke. I don't know what you want mediated but sure, ask away.

Mediation for what?? Clearly you're unhappy but you give no background as to why Dudeman was bad to deal with.
All you did was mention coin spent with vendors. And no one but moderators could potentially read your personal messages.

Visited Dudeman yesterday to have a look at his cars - as nice a guy as you could find and completely straight about them.
Also saw the seats in question and they match the photos, so don't see what the problem is.

My gripe is that we have exchanged pms taking it from eoi to a negotiation including offer, counter offer and even research on courier options and I also requested options on how he wanted to be payed for the said items. So for the next 24 hours he can't find the time to respond to me but can find the time to take extra photos and post them in the for sale section at someone else's request.
At the end of the day they are his seats and can sell them to whom ever he wants, I have no problem with that, what I do have a problem with is being led on and left hanging... His latest post on his sale thread only vindicates what I'm saying.
I am super passionate about my deuce and when I found out that there was factory recaros available I was over the moon! I thought they would be perfect for my build so when I was on the cusp of paying for them and having them sent to me and then nothing, it hurt.
Thanks for showing an interest in my situation.
I think I stand a 1-5% chance of getting these seats from dudeman, but my resolve to obtain a set is strong, even if it means paying $2000 from overseas.
I still strongly urge those with the access to review this situation with impartiality and give me some feedback.
Thanks for your time.

Man - yeah you made an offer, I counter offered and you came back with another offer. I sat on it overnight, next day someone asked for some more pics. I put them up. I saw that you had sent a PM around then but I had other stuff to do, so guess what - I went and did some other stuff. Later on, I read them - I try not to make a habit of posting 'too' much when I have the wobbly boot on so thought yeah, get back to LRB in the morning. Nek minnut! - I wake up early in the morning and see your opening post here. Thats some fairly pointy language you used there. Then there was the PM which when I translated it called me, the members here and the forum some very nasty names which could lead to hurt feelings! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lg51dzWHJE&feature=kp I wasn't going to bring it up, but you came back and wanted mediation etc. It sounded like you have tourettes. You wondered why I didn't return that message??

A wise man once told me, "Don't engage in an argument with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"
Same bloke told me, "Never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man"
Mate, if you think it's unfair of me to sit on an offer for a day and think about it, Jog on.

I can see where the OP is coming from...it's easy to panic when you really want to buy a particular second hand part before someone else does. If the seller is replying promptly to PMs then suddenly stops replying for a whole day, it's easy to get worried and assume the worst. BUT Having said that, I'm still with you on this dudeman. The OP seems to have reacted in a very over-the-top way just because you didn't drop everything to reply immediately to a PM.

Your really clever with your riposte dudeman, and no I don't have a problem with sitting on an offer, but you could let me know couldn't you????
The way YOU have responded to this situation speaks volumes of your character...
