Everything I've bought from him was as described. I think sometimes he doesn't list enough info, and the buyer assumes too much. I know for a fact he had those gauges on his 5.0. I think he used them for intake temp, and water temp.

So one good experience out of how many bad? I think it's obvious that he sells more junk than good stuff. Not to mention my dealings with him, when I bought a "complete 07+ coolant setup" to find that the lower hose was cut and shortened, and was not any good. Of course, he didn't mention any of that in his for sale thread.

There's many on this forum who have had bad encounters with HOLYWD. He has been proven time after time to be using the forum to flip parts. I feel like alot of the 'newer' guys on here see his feedback / him being a mod and they feel like they need to hook him up. In return, he'll post the same shit a month later for more money. JMO.

I won't deal with him ever again.

Aren't you one of his best friends or something?

I'm very sorry to hear of everyone's bad experiences. I will say that I've had a couple dealings with Caleb and fortunately they were perfect. If what several of you are stating is 100% factual, I would be livid though.

I don't see a problem flipping parts as long as the flipper inspects/tests them and is prepared to make it right when something's broken. Perhaps he should pay vendor fees, but there's nothing wrong with Capitalism!

I'm surprised and saddened to hear all these stories. Caleb, make amends and do the right thing here buddy.

I have no problem with him flipping parts either as long as he pays a vendor fee and lets potential buyers know that the parts were purchased for resell and not something he pulled off his car.

+1, he should also inspect the parts and make sure his descriptions are accurate. You need to fix this Caleb

Only thing i can say is make sure you use I trader. Looks like it was not used correctly if he has a high rep but has done so many bad deals. It's in place for a reason please use it.

I bust my butt to make sure everything I trade sell or buy works perfect for everyone.

All these people with good transactions with him doesn't change the fact he has done members wrong on here guys. You need to realize this shit. It's not just one person, but a few people. It's no coincidence

Using the I trader correctly would of weeded him out a long time ago if he has done so many shady deals. (Not saying he has just stating the fact)

He has only had 2 people in the past 12 months send a negative.

You're obviously miss ny point. Like I said, good for you if he didn't screw you but there is people here who have had a bad experience and he needs to fix it, be held accountable and pay vendor fees if he is flipping parts and making profit using this website. Get that through your head.

Yes, I understand and agree there seems to be a negative pattern. Caleb, as I stated before, you need to get in here and try to make it right.

He doesn't own a business he shouldn't pay a vendor fee (my personal thought thats up to Kimmer and others).

I didn't say I had a dealing with him. People need to use the Itrader system. You are missing MY point. If people used it the right way we would not have this issue. If he had a negative trader account he wouldn't be able to buy OR sell. So this is the point you should understand. Don't blame him blame the people who gave him good rep when he should not have received it.

Just because he doesn't own a business shouldn't mean he should not be paying a vendor fee if he is making profit by constantly flipping parts using this website classifieds. And yes people should use the iTrade but most don't. And a negative reputation would have not kept him from using the classifieds, it would be up to the member as to Warner or not if they would risk buying from him. And I do blame him, he shouldn't be selling bad parts or misleading people with in accurate descriptions.

In my personal experience itrader is only used about half of the time. It's only used if one of the parties requests it. I have had way more than 17 transactions over the years.

He can flip parts all he wants . . . I don't see a problem one bit and here is why:

If he flips a part makes a couple bucks he will buy a new one sooner or later. This in return will most likely go to our vendors on the site which in return pay to be a vendor and through the chain of things keeps the forum open. I don't see a problem one bit for him to do this or anyone else. If people buy the part for more. Then it is what it is they are happy or they wouldn't buy at that price.

Yes a negative rep would hurt him to buy and sell. Since I am a mod for the classifieds what can I do??? I see positive feedback all over for him for the people that claim he did wrong. It's a stalemate. Use I trader correctly END OF STORY.

In my personal experience itrader is only used about half of the time. It's only used if one of the parties requests it. I have had way more than 17 transactions over the years.
Then request it. If the person has a problem or likes the deal they will use it or SHOULD use it.
