I decided to buy those A* boots off of WERA boards a couple weeks back. I sent my payment out on the 14th and he recieved it on the 16th. He sent me a message saying that he would ship out the next day and send a tracking number. So that would be the 17th. It is now March 1st, and I have no boots and no tracking number. I have now sent 1 private message, and posted once on his classefied thread asking for an update or a tracking number. Nothing.... The dude lives in Wisconsin. Thats 3 day shipping at maximum to ohio.
So when it it acceptable timing to start badgering him with messages, and when is it acceptable timing to go to Paypal asking for my money back. This is pissing me off...... :td:
fuck yeh, let him know that you never recieved it and have no tracking number. I would start today and see what he says.

I agree - start today.
If he would have stayed in contact, that's one thing. I mean, life happens. But, to just fall off the face of the earth... bad move.
I usually give about a week :wink:

Yea... I'll be sending a few messages. And I have his email address too. I'd just like even the littlest bit of contact, because I really like these boots. If not im going to save up a little bit and get something with a little more torsional control for the track.

Do you have any other contact info than just his email address????
I think it's time to light 'em up and say "Where the hell is my shit!?!?!"
Light his ass up on a forum wide post. WERA doesn't like asshats.

Haha, I was there when the guy sent a deposit, then magically the bike was sold to somebody else. That somebody else ended up being the sellers friend, who then turned around and sold the bike 2 days later. And the seller had no phone or internet for weeks. :lol::bs:

Mongo is a giant cock. I don't like how he dealt with the whole switch to weraclassefieds. It was kinda like you either race wera or fuck you, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Granted, the new wera classefieds are completely reasonable in price, and make finding things much easier.

he is def a cock and I hate him more and more as I read his posts. A lot of people used their classifieds yet they dont do much on th esite and most thing his series is shit ( most of my friends race CCS so theyre a bit biased LOL ) and he seems to think people are making money off selling stuff. I dont see anyone getting rich selling parts or bikes that htey used.

The old wera classified section was the tits.
The new wera classifeds sucks. I hope it fails miserably.
Porkchop,
Call the guy out, you have been overly generous with your time allowed.

I feel the same way about the classifieds, I just dont like putting money in this asshats pocket to sel something.
And I agree blast away on the site its been way too long esp with no explanation.

I just think he turns people off from his series because of what he says. Yea I'm not a WERA racer.... but maybe one day I could be. It's just bad business to openly bash people who aren't racing in his series. Real inviting...

See I think with the amount of postings in the old classefieds, it was hard to find what you were looking for. Plus no one followed any rules in posting location, price, and pictures. "Email me for pictures of my gloves". Fuck you, don't be such a lazy ass and post some pictures. :lol: The new site has them listed like ebay with pictures and price right in the title. That aspect alone is worth it. Plus with the tag function you can just search through the boots instead of wading through all of the size 40 suits that won't even begin to fit my 270 pound frame. :lol

eh, I guess I was just used to it.
If I want size 40 boots, I'd run a search in Classifieds for boots. It's not too much trouble to look a a few 38's or 42's, imo.
If someone is too lazy or incompetent to post pics, move on to the next one.
That was the beauty of the old system, there was always something new popping up. I see a dramatic decrease in traffic coming soon.

When I fiurst posted my gsxr for sale on there it would be 3 pages back in under 24hrs there was so much traffic and only a small portion were people bumping their stuff back up.

So in order to sell something on WERA you have to pay a commission now?
I guess it was only a matter of time....
Could never believe how many posts that board got. I bet less than 5% of its members actually race.

the classifieds were the go to place for track or race stuff, guess the scumbag owner wanted to change it ( yes me and many of my friends think mongo is an arrogant scumbag)

Seems he has a few followers that suck his cock for everything, and everyone else wants him to die of aids.
My friends from another board go on there and do wera bombs just to fuck with him and some of his followers :lol:

That's true of most big boards though. I need some more followers. You need to threaten some people to worship me lol.
