Trust between Racers !

ZenzenRacing · 01-13-2018, 12:24 PM

Seeing some of the problems racers have when buying and selling parts its nice to deal with someone that trust goes both ways. Just did a deal with J Allen Sherman who doesn't know me and I don't know him, but everything was done before the cash was sent! Wish everything was that way!! Looking forward to doing business with Allen again!!

J Allen is just like his dad, straight up, no bull. Good people.

I've only had issues on one dealing and since I didn't lose any money I can't complain; just bought a trailer from a private party in Florida and after discussion with the person I felt confident the trailer would be as advertised and he was confident I'd show up with the cash as I indicated so we were both happy. Short of having my dog with me all the time (I never like a person my dog doesn't like) I can generally tell if someone might be flaky after talking with them for a while. Don't think anyone wants to be called out on this or any other forum (or heaven forbid social media) that you've been a member of for some time. The current "alert" thread is unfortunate; for the most part I think I would trust just about any of the active members. Sometimes such threads end up being two people with wildly divergent accounts on what transpired (car tangles in the pits, Pontiacs, etc) but that is far from the norm.

Have never met J Allen, but he obviously backs up what he says so that would be plenty good in my book!

Let me say that I have had NUMEROUS dealings with racers on this site. I have shipped product with an invoice enclosed and have NEVER had a problem receiving my check.....It is nice that this site can EXPOSE a bad apple and save other racers some grief.....MJ.....

Adger Smith sent me parts to see if they would work without paying for them and we have never met. Price wasnt much but the trust was priceless. Jeff

When we decided to build a stocker a few years ago i got on here looking for headers. Reggie Winkles had not a clue of who i was but shipped me a set of headers for me to try before he wanted me to pay for them. I asked him why he trusted me and he said he trusts anybody until you give him a reason not to (or something in that effect).He is a stand up guy!

I would never hesitate dealing with Allen.

I've had the pleasure of dealing with MJ Quinn, he was great to work with and delivered an awesome product! Now he is making a couple of Kirkey seat covers for me, I would highly recommend him!
