vfitom2aol.com 02-04-2008, 05:37:05 PM I never had any problems or issues with the guy. He bought stuff off of me, and me from him. He even threw in a few free items for me also!
Fbodywarehouse 02-04-2008, 06:16:23 PM Guys he buys and sells, Plain and simple.
Folks keep on trashing him over and over and it seems more of a vendetta of some folks here then a true gripe.
If he sells a emblem for $500 well some fool sat in front of thier computer and decided "Yeah that IS WORTH $500 to me" So that's is that.
Over the years I have heard tons of bashing on him, AKA I sold him a gauge for $10 and he cleaned it up and sold it on ebay for $50.
I see it as if you wanted $50 for it YOU should have sold it for $50, not $10.
You are entitled to your opinions of the guy, but at end of day if you sell him something and KNOW he is going to clean it up and resell it for more and still sell it to him too bad. Someone obviously needed the part or would not have paid XXX dollars for it.
Example for years we tore down parts cars and reconditioned the parts and resold them. Did we do it to make a profit???? DUH YES!!! It is a business. If I buy a parts car of Bill, for $200 and then sell all the parts for $3500 from it and Bill comes back crying saying I owe him this and that, guess what, go Beat Feet Bill you lose.
If you bought a part from him and have a problem with it call HIM instead of posting on a board seen by 20k + people bashing him over and over and over and over, year after year, after year, after year. . Communicate with those you buy and sell with folks.
I am sorry I don't mean to offend anyone, but man for years you guys have ganged up on this guy and tore his reputation to shreads. Over and over and over, at some point folks start to wonder how much is factual and how much is simply " I dont like his guy so I am going to keep on bashing him."
Some higher up's at NastyZ don't like Glen
If they ask Glen to not post nor hang out here,
He SHOULD respect that and not.
Problem solved.
LOL We concluded this same point back in what 2003?
RS70CitrusZ28 02-04-2008, 06:53:40 PM You guys are missing the point. Its not that he is buying your parts and making money on them that some of us have a problem with. The part that you guys dont seem to get is that he is selling parts as NOS when in fact they are not. He sells allot of items of which a dozen or so of the items, are the same item, week in and week out claiming them to be NOS and they are NOT NOS or even current production GM. They in fact are parts made by Trim Parts, Goodmark, and other aftermarket companies etc that he is passing off as the real deal GM.
What part of that dont you guys get? According to you guys that are supporting him thats flippin cool beans!! More power to him!! To me and to others that is blatant Fraud and Theft. So you guys go right ahead and buy your repop NOS parts from him. He appreciates it greatly and I am sure he is laughing while transferring your paypal money to his bank account!
Karen McDermott 02-04-2008, 07:09:57 PM Excuse this old lady (I really am 71 years old) but I have been looking at the Nasty's posts and so far I cannot find anybody that can say "Glen did this to ME" Everybody are just repeating rumors as far as I can tell. It is apparent that someone has a vendetta out for Glen and all the sheep are following. Years ago I bought some parts from Glen and he gave me a FAIR deal. Since then I have bought more and everytime I got exactly what I expected. Maybe you guys are not reading the postings and are expecting more than listed. Anyway, the "lets gang up on Glen" attitude is showing an immature mentality. Why don't you guys just leave him alone. Did you ever think all his name changes were to avoid the smearing from you guys? You cause him to change his name and then jump on him for doing what you caused. Once again, I have NEVER found a reason to be upset with Glen.
RS70CitrusZ28 02-04-2008, 07:35:23 PM Since then I have bought more and everytime I got exactly what I expected.
Well then i hope you were happy with the reproduction parts you bought off of him even if you thought they were NOS......

Knuckle Dragger 02-04-2008, 11:01:51 PM Excuse this old lady (I really am 71 years old) but I have been looking at the Nasty's posts and so far I cannot find anybody that can say "Glen did this to ME" Everybody are just repeating rumors as far as I can tell.

OK First, Glenn got a fan shroud from me and never paid.
Second, the guy bought a shifter on eBay from me and then told me it was damaged. Offered to "split" the difference and I send him back half the money and he would be kind enough to dispose of it for me since it wasn't worth anything. When I refused and asked him to send it back for a refund he pitched a bitch. When I wouldn't refund the money and pay his shipping BEFORE he sent it back he cried some more. Finally he sent it back, and sent me an invoice for shipping and refund. A week later it had not arrived. Upon investigation I found he never paid to have it shipped back, he simply refused the package and UPS sent it back to the shipping center I used. But he sure wanted to charge me for it. I later sold the shifter to another eBay'r and he used it just fine.
Karen, if you like the dude that's fine, but don't post up here and tell us he's a saint. Midnight72 got ripped of for over $500 bucks on a piece of crap shifter. And there are a lot more personal stories that have been posted over the years. Most people don't dwell on it, but we sure don't want someone else defrauded in the same way.
Advertising stuff as NOS and not having it mean new original stock it thievery, plain and simple.
It's also wrong to buy stuff people advertise here at a deal, or low ball them with full intent to sell it for profit. We as a group try to help each other out and sell stuff cheaper here, or give someone at a cruise a good deal. I have personally seen you try to low ball fellow members for parts so I'm not all that shocked you stand up for this thief.
Karen McDermott 02-05-2008, 12:10:24 PM Ok, I get it, now its pile on Karen. I have been accused of trying to "low ball" members. Give me an EXACT incident instead of the vague reference. When I bid on something I bid what I want to pay, if ANYONE does not want to sell at that price they don't have to. The market will determine the value of the part. Maybe the seller has an inflated sense of the value of the part. Anyway I cannot wait to see the "PILE ON KAREN" responses. I'm sure there will be some because I don't go along with the gang mentality expressed here.
Batman 02-05-2008, 02:00:41 PM Right now I'm speaking as a member of the board, not as a moderator so don't take this as an official board position, just my own opinion. Besides, I'm not a mod in this section.
I'll give you the incident, Karen, because I was there. It was when a bunch of us in the So Cal section met up at the Las Barcas run. Ryan Lloyd (rlloyd) was telling us about how he was going to be changing over to Autometer gauges that he got from Dave (Knuckle Dragger). You offered to buy his U14 gauge cluster for $25.00 after he told you all 4 tabs were still intact . Are you telling me that you wouldn't have turned right around and resold that on Ebay with all the other clusters you do?

Yep that's it. If you found that deal on eBay I'd say good for you, but the fact you tried to "steal" it from Ryan is BS. Maybe I have a more defined sense of community than you do. If that''s the way you roll that's up to you. But you came in here defending a guy that has ripped several people off. You're the one that called everyone out saying there were no factual accounts of him ripping people off. I posted some first hand stuff. You got what you asked for right? First hand experience.
As far as the gang mentality comment, let me explain something to you. This is a community. We protect our own. If someone is bad to deal with or doesn't play fair we're going to call out on it. We see each other as comrades, not marks to take for a ride. Like it or lump it.
rscamaro73 02-05-2008, 05:04:35 PM As a 'higher up' and one that personally pushed the button on kicking Glenn off the board (it really did feel good to do that, in case you ask)...I have been PERSONALLY ATTACKED by him. He went out of his way to do the things he did...and I have the evidence in a folder to prove it. Ask him about the calls from the legal dept on my military base to his command. He'll say some story and that's what he believes, and I know what was said on my end because I was in the office when it happened. :eek:
Details spared or not, bashing if thats what you call it, some people that don't play fair need to be brought to light. The PURPOSE of this swap meet section was for people to move their parts so that others can rebuild their cars and continue the hobby. Not for "buy it for $10 and list it on ebay for $50". If you want to do that, go pull your own parts off a yard car. Pete mentions about himself buying a car and parting it out and selling them. Anyone can do that....but he's the one that goes the extra mile with it. He goes out of his way to make a good sale. I'll stand behind him as a good seller because of the way I got treated, and the way others have. Glenn on the other hand, has shown how he can be, and his 'emails' have proven it.
Defend him if you want...that's your call....but ask him how many times he signed back up on the board after he was kicked off trying to sneak in to move parts....or seem like the 'good guy' and help others out and then go back to the way he was....ask him. I can't count how many times we locked his accounts (I can prolly go back and hit up 20 at least). Ask him how many times he was asked to stop doing that. Ask him what he did to get some other posts removed. Ask him. Don't come out here defending him when you only hear the bad stuff from us....and his 'I'm a good guy' story.
He can say someone is a bad seller...for selling junk parts....but when you get "personal" with another person's personal information, don't you think that is over the line ?? He'll turn around and brag to others about how he sticks it to the guys here when he buys parts and then sticks it to people on ebay for buying parts there....prolly made a killing using government shipping supplies from work - but I can only assume that....;).....ask him how many times he said he was 'coming out to visit me'....at my home.
Again, I'm just stating facts as they happen...ask him his response to what I put up here....and then I'll show you the papers I have to prove otherwise.....:cool: Heck, PM me and I'll email you the last file I saved from our conversation....again, just facts....
Would you trust this guy ??
Karen McDermott 02-05-2008, 06:19:47 PM So let me get this straight, I offered to buy an item. The owner didn't accept my offer so this makes me a bad person? My business is remanufacturing 2nd gen clusters. For this I need an inventory of parts to construct the cluster from. I have bought over 200 clusters to canabalize . I provide a service that about 100 Camaro owners have sought out. I take pride that there are camaro's on the road with my help.

You low balled a member, at a meet set up for the members. Yes, in my book that's bad. Trying to take advantage of fellow Nastyz28 guys is bad, IMO. Many of the people here give stuff away trying to help each other out. Profit has it's place but not among friends. I will never buy from someone here for the sole purpose of reselling it at a profit, it's just not right. You're a grown woman, do what you want, but don't cry foul when people call you on it. With under 30 posts how many people have you helped, and how many have you preyed on?
Just to illustrate the differences.
You tried to low ball Ryan, knowing full well what the value of the cluster was. For your own personal gain you wanted to "score a deal" and hoped Ryan didn't know the value.
Jason, talked with Ryan and told him he would help him clean the cluster up and list it on eBay. Jason offered his time, and energy to help Ryan get the piece's full value if he chose to do it. Not only would that take his time, it would most likely compete with some of his own auctions. That's what members do for one another. There are lots of examples on this board of this comradely.
K5JMP 02-05-2008, 06:52:41 PM Excuse this old lady (I really am 71 years old) but I have been looking at the Nasty's posts and so far I cannot find anybody that can say "Glen did this to ME".
OK... Glenn did this to me....
I had an extra U-14 cluster that I offered to a kid on this board for the cost of shipping... Glenn PM's me asking what I had and how much...
I sent Glenn pictures of a volt gauge, fuel gauge, a clock and a printed circuit for a 1972 U-14 cluster. He replied that he wanted them... and asked how much.
I asked him for 15 bucks to cover shipping etc... just to be able to show wifey I wasn't giving things away for free again.
Later he bashes me in a public forum saying the stuff I sent him was trash. That I should have paid him to take it....
I posted the exact same pictures he was sent and he goes off saying the printed circuit was worth 45 bucks alone... but that I didn't send what was in the pictures.
Once he realizes he is caught (others saw the pics and postings the first time and spoke-up) he goes back and edits his post.
Funny thing.... email subscriptions send the original message... which he very verbosely denied posting...
Even funnier... those gauges "I should have paid him to take" were in a cluster he auctioned off about 10 days ago.
Glenn is a sleaze-ball.. just my 2 cents worth:innocent:

Alise 02-05-2008, 07:10:56 PM Yeah, yeah, yeah... Let's not mention that when I was starting out my Home Business that he went to my website and pulled all my personal info from there and posted it all over the web stating my husband was selling 2 first gen Camaros and his wife was really sick and needed to sell them fast. What kind of a jerk does that?
southern-breeze 02-05-2008, 08:52:59 PM sounds like this karen person is the same as glen .or they sure do think the same .
southern-breeze 02-05-2008, 08:56:10 PM plus i have saved a file too ,where he sent me a prepaid label to send him a part and then he did not like it and cussed me ,and also told me since he sent me the label "that i had no prove that it was sent" so when i gave him the last 4 numbers on the shipping label , he quit talking and never heard from him again
Damon23 02-05-2008, 09:40:20 PM Sounds like a real piece of work. The profittiers need to stay away from these boards. These boards are for people to help each other. Ebay and swap meets are for you guys that like profit big time off of parts. Coming over from Pontiac and a board there that was filled with big hearted people it is nice to see that same courtesy here. And, if anyone here needs a 130mph speedometer that the needle needs to be glued back on, a tach that I dont know if it works, a volt, temp, or fuel gauge let me know. I have a set that I dont need.
TommyRS70 02-05-2008, 11:54:54 PM WOW, look at us! Just look at what Glenn has done to us now! NastyZ has CANCER!!! Not only has he taken advantage of so many trusting, honest members of our Camaro community over the years, he is causing us to turn against each other now. He truly is a DISEASE!!! A CANCER!!! Eating away at us from within! I'm sure he is reading this right now and loving every minute of it. (Diseases love to know that their pathology is working !!!) He is reveling in the fact that we are spending so much time and energy talking about “Glenn ” when we could instead be helping each other under the hood. What a narcissist! What a TUMOR!!
The truth is, Glenn is unethical in many of his ebay descriptions and transactions. He sells repops as rare, nos parts, some acquired from a stash of parts he found at some dealership. He sells tired/ rebuilt part as “excellent as the pictures show” which when they arrive, are a far cry from the description… and the pictures. Unhappy? Too bad! Ask for a refund or adjustment. Forget it! Complain to eBay, and you are now fair game for his taunting and outrageous counterclaims. He is rude and insulting in his email correspondences. He will call you, “stupid, ignorant, careless, unknowledgeable” and even, “a fool!”
In an email volley I had with him over a fake nos spoiler he sold me, Glenn celebrated the fact that he made XXXX number of dollars using his false listings and is “happy he did.” If you leave him negative feedback, you get it back ten-fold. If you sell, he’ll bid on your listings, never pay, claim he sent cash, file a claim with eBay and then leave you retaliatory negative feedback. Glenn simply lies and cheats his way through the system. He is calculating- hiding his deceptive practices amongst his daily sales to the unsuspecting. He is not a man of his word, but a man who turns words against his buyers. I am ashamed that I ever bought anything from him (in 2005, I won the paypal claim against him for a repop RS front spoiler he sold to me as NOS!!!! …took three months, but I won!!!...Thanks, Jim S. at Heartbeat City for your professional support in the claim) So…Take that Glennie Boy!!! Hah! ) …I feel a little better now...….
Someday, Glenn’s world will come crashing in and he will pay for all the deceit and ill will he has inflicted. We are all a little less because of Glenn! But until the tumor is gone, let this “thread of radiation treatment” continue! Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!—
Karen McDermott 02-06-2008, 06:01:14 AM sounds like this karen person is the same as glen .or they sure do think the same .....See what I get for just asking about a situation. I predicted that I would get bashed and here it is. Thanks guys for being fair.
77RS 02-06-2008, 09:29:48 AM nope. now it's gm_parts_supply Jan-31-08 Present
I want to clarify why i made the above post. I posted that info for you guys that want to stay away from Glen. I personally have had no dealings with him at all. If the guy has a part I want and I feel it's worth the price I'll buy it. If I don't like it I'll just pass it up.
It's pretty simple. If you want to buy something on ebay you have to click the BUY button twice. Just take it or leave it.
EDIT: Oh wow, I just scrolled through the posts and see that this thread has turned into a hot bed. I didn't read it all before I made this post. I think I'll just walk away here. :) I thought we were just making everyone aware of the name change! LOL
April81Z28 02-06-2008, 10:01:49 AM Karen, you asked for specific instances of problems with both Glenn and yourself. You got what you asked for. What's the problem now?
TommyRS70 02-06-2008, 10:26:27 AM [It's pretty simple. If you want to buy something on ebay you have to click the BUY button twice. Just take it or leave it.]
Yes, this is true....but you expect to get what you paid for after you press it twice! With Glenn, this is often NOT the case. Hard to unpress the bid button, after the junk has arrived.
Batman 02-06-2008, 10:57:50 AM Ok, I get it, now its pile on Karen. I have been accused of trying to "low ball" members. Give me an EXACT incident instead of the vague reference.

Bidding on Ebay is one thing. Low balling another member is something else.

Karen, if you ask to be called out on something, don't be surprised if someone does. That's not bashing, that's responding. And if you do ask to be called out and someone does, don't act surprised or shocked that they did. As Dave mentioned, it's about community and trying to help one another. Hell, I couldv'e profitted multiple times over buying stuff people offer here and flipping it on Ebay, but I don't, because it's not right to do that to other members. What's so hard to understand about that?
rhead007 02-08-2008, 08:57:45 PM bunch a winers abought everything i need a seat belt for my 73 mine blew up anyone help me out with a good price hell no i gota look on ebay and spend 500 bs mabey i should buy ronaz ho junk exaust manifolds for 250 or a rare emblem for 1500 what are you peaple crazy you support em they come back for more ignore em they go away simple solution guess all the clusters in my crawl are worth 500 buck cuz some broad says so i dont think so this site used to be fun b4 the new server its gettin old now
BonzoHansen 02-09-2008, 07:32:53 AM RHead, I don't think guys pointing out actual issues and bogus sales is whining. I guess you are right, they should shut up, never mention it and not warn anyone else and let them get screwed too. I disagree, and so does MadMike, judging by the fact he stickied this thread. If members warning each other is old, well, so be it.
If you don't like the cost of a part, don't buy it. You are right, if no one pays the price will drop. I don't begrudge people for selling stuff for what someone else is willing to pay. As long as they are honest about it. And that is the point here. Selling repops & cleaned up parts as NOS parts and otherwise misrepresenting items is wrong.
To be honest you sound like you are the whiner, 'why won't someone sell me stuff cheap'. Please. Hey, go buy brand new belts from Morris Classic Concepts for less then $300. Here, pick your color (http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=700+401082+4294925234+4294908216+4294908198+115+4294925074)

very hard to read posts
what it appears is that you are unhappy because no one here would GIVE you parts for less than they are worth?
dude, the drivers side is the one EVERYONE needs, even my own car has blown through two of them ...
There is an OLD saying:

It is not that hard of a concept to figure out
AztecSilverRS70 02-10-2008, 12:05:13 PM very hard to read posts

I've seen a lot of tempers flare on this site due to misinterpretation and miscommunication. The tone of one’s comments can so easily be twisted. That's why we need to give each other the benefit of the doubt, unless the intent is clearly obvious...then I say "let the games begin!" ;)

li0nhart123 04-05-2008, 05:18:37 PM In an email volley I had with him over a fake nos spoiler he sold me, Glenn celebrated the fact that he made XXXX number of dollars using his false listings and is “happy he did.” If you leave him negative feedback, you get it back ten-fold. If you sell, he’ll bid on your listings, never pay, claim he sent cash, file a claim with eBay and then leave you retaliatory negative feedback. Glenn simply lies and cheats his way through the system. He is calculating- hiding his deceptive practices amongst his daily sales to the unsuspecting. He is not a man of his word, but a man who turns words against his buyers. I am ashamed that I ever bought anything from him (in 2005, I won the paypal claim against him for a repop RS front spoiler he sold to me as NOS!!!! …took three months, but I won!!!...Thanks, Jim S. at Heartbeat City for your professional support in the claim) So…Take that Glennie Boy!!! Hah! ) …I feel a little better now...….
Someday, Glenn’s world will come crashing in and he will pay for all the deceit and ill will he has inflicted. We are all a little less because of Glenn! But until the tumor is gone, let this “thread of radiation treatment” continue! Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!—
Retaliatory feedback from a seller to a buyer is a thing of the past come May 1st. On that date..sellers have the option of leaving no feedback or positive feedback...they will no longer be able to leave negative for a buyer. this should weed out the garbage sellers.
Yes they can change thier selling ID's, but it will put them lower down in the search results compared to those sellers with higher feedback numbers.

serpent710 06-10-2008, 02:04:16 PM Ya know, I just started in this car thing and met ALOT of nice people (with this site included). It's good to see everyone sticking together. If anyone of you need a door, front bumper, rear bumper or a fender I will be willing to give it away. I a have already passed on my help to others with free parts that I had left over and I understand what everyone is talking about. I would be pissed if I went through the trouble of handing someone something for free just to have them turn around and sell it. Luckily, I made a few people happy about the hobby and ME when they asked how much and I just said take it, it's your's. "Pay it foward". Anyone iterested in above mentioned parts let me know. I need a little help with some interior parts myself.

And this is exactly the mentality that we're trying to foster here. Here to help people out. And we don't expect you to give EVERYTHING away, but if you have something and feel like it, it should be to someone that's going to USE it, not re-sell it.

Twisted_Metal 06-10-2008, 06:05:59 PM Maybe Glenn is still nice to 71 year old ladies.
I know Karen made an offer of free clock mechanisms (http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116841)(Pay for postage) to any member who wanted one to experiment with.
This was after she took heat in this thread.
Just sayin'......
I've never dealt with her or Glenn but it seemed like a legitimate offer to me.

akcamaro 07-23-2008, 05:27:49 AM What makes it appear NOT NOS?
Well the rust on the cross braces jumps out at me first.
http://i24.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/fd/e2/6095_12.JPG
and this doesn't look NOS to me. Why is there rust and scratches on this bracket, but the paper tag on it is fine?
http://i5.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/fd/e2/621c_12.JPG
And now the fact that It's been bid up to his reserve, so he's now pulled the reserve. Isn't against the rules exactly, but It's pretty lame, IMHO.
rscamaro73 07-23-2008, 08:56:16 AM Its just whomever's definition of what "NOS" is....
Its ORIGINALLY supposed to mean " NEW, old stock "....meaning an original part from 'back in the day' on the shelf....
Now its sorta "NEW, old style".....meaning its a new REPRODUCTION of the old piece....
Just takes homework I guess.....
RatbonesXX 07-23-2008, 10:36:43 AM I for one also think he is a scamming a__hole.
He answered a wanted ad for parts I needed in the swapmeet section. Said he had what I needed (interior A post trim), we made a deal, I sent payment, and he sent parts; some beat up parts that were not what I needed (although he knew exactly what I needed!). Sent them back to him and he said he would send out the right parts. Nothing came- chased him through email for 6 months and he always had an excuse. I almost gave up, but when i was searching ebay to find the part somewhere else, there they were- on ebay-
Guess who was listing them.... yup... Glenn. The same parts he was looking for for me and couldn't seem to find.
I emailed him and told him to send me the parts since he obviously had them now! He sent me two mismatched altered pieces of $hit and they are sitting unused in my garage. I bought 2 correct undamaged ones off ebay and wrote his parts off, making a note to myself never to let anyone I know give him $$$ for anything.
He clearly made his own bed!!
rscamaro73 07-24-2008, 10:02:38 AM Just thought I'd let you know he does still come here and read this.
Is there still any doubt about him ?
I got this nice email from him :

I got this nice email from him :
He will prey on people here still too. Every time someone asks me if they are getting a good deal on something I'm ashamed to have to ask for the sellers name. But unfortunately there are a couple of people I just can't recommend to buy anything from, regardless of cost. One of the best improvements the board made was to hide our e-mail from unregistered users.Assclown was trying to IM me a while back, I suspect about this thread. I'm glad not to have to deal with him.

New old stock (NOS) was, and is NEW OLD STOCK. It was never meant to be the latter meaning dealing with repro stuff. A shame the term is being twisted, all because of greed........No pun intended on him, but just in general........
rscamaro73 07-24-2008, 04:55:43 PM You're absolutely CORRECT...what it was SUPPOSED TO mean, and what others THINK it means to them is 2 different things.
Anyways, Mr. Glenn has been emailing me today telling me that there is "LIBEL" posted in here about him. I think he is not understanding that others have freedom to post what they want. Much more so when they tell THEIR side of a story....that is what Mr. Glenn fails to realize.
Anyways...he's told me he'll continue to buy off here and other things off ebay just to resell them again....so there you go....plus he told me he has another 'account' on here....which goes to show you.....that no matter how much you try, the turds still rise to the surface....

spaman 08-16-2008, 09:39:26 PM Wow, this has been an intresting read for sure, Its a shame though, Ive been helped numerous times on our site over the years, not in parts but in knowledge. I had no idea there were those on our site taking advantage of our members here. That would explain some of the short responses you get when inquiring about parts on some of our members cars. I guess I've been in the dark regarding the unethical manner of some of the parasites that roam thru here.
no-nitro 08-22-2008, 04:11:57 PM the turds still rise to the surface....
NOW THATS FUNNY!!!!
Spot_remover 09-04-2008, 11:41:02 PM that was entertaining. and im glad you guys get everything out in the open. As a newb to the whole car community and scene, i appreciate the heads up.
76_TypeLT 09-05-2008, 12:16:03 PM It's weird because the eBay name gm_restoration_parts has a really good feedback rating and is a power seller, so I am confused. Is it that people are so gullible that they accept non-NOS parts as NOS and give him good feedback? Seems like now with sellers unable to leave neg feedback for buyers that his feedback rating would suffer if he was a sheisty seller. I don't know the guy and don't think I have bought anything from him (maybe years ago, not sure), so nothing personal.

I dont think people know any better.They see the parts with the GM wrappers so they expect it to be NOS.The buyers should be questioning him on why they didn't recieve the GM packaging along with the parts.
al8apex 09-06-2008, 01:32:36 PM He has bought stuff off us in the past just to get the boxes or GM wrappers ...
he is on our blocked bidder list now ...
EDIT:
I got this email from them/him:
"Dear rohnaz,
You are a LIAR...I never bought ANYTHING from you...and I never bought
anything to get the box. Why do you tell lies on NastyZ28 about me?
-gm_restoration_parts"
yet he DID buy something from us and we even left him positive feedback:
"What a steal! Good job Fast pay, ez transaction, THANK YOU !!! AAA+++ rohnaz ( 9430) Nov-23-04 16:51
-- (#4501688302))"
then two more times a couple years earlier:
"Fast pay, ez transaction, multiple item buyer-THANKS again !!! AAA+++ rohnaz ( 9430) Sep-17-02 14:51
-- (#2136141403) --
Fast pay, ez transaction, multiple item buyer-THANKS!!! AAA+++ rohnaz ( 9430) Sep-17-02 14:50
-- (#2136138198)"
then another time a week or so earlier than those:
SUPER Fast pay, ez transaction, THANKS!!! AAA+++ rohnaz ( 9430) Sep-08-02 15:15
-- (#2136110593)"
so, the above feedbacks show that we have sold them parts at least 4 different times over the last 6 years
76_TypeLT 09-07-2008, 10:59:54 AM He has bought stuff off us in the past just to get the boxes or GM wrappers ...

Oh, I see. That's pretty shady then.
al8apex 09-07-2008, 02:38:00 PM as you can see he still reads items posted on this forum ...
in our case he sent us an email through ebay to call us a liar for telling the truth, not sure why, but he/they did

He wants to keep his identity/user name hidden so he doesn't get kicked off the board AGAIN.

Oh, you are rohnaz! How about that.
al8apex 09-09-2008, 11:33:37 AM He wants to keep his identity/user name hidden so he doesn't get kicked off the boared AGAIN.
I think he can READ all the posts, he would have to have a valid ID to POST on this board though ...
al8apex 09-09-2008, 10:05:00 PM now he sends me this email through ebay:
"Dear rohnaz,
Make no mistake about it...he does have a valid ID and buys parts in the
swap meet section almost daily!!!
http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107384&page=6
-gm_restoration_parts"
so he is preying on our listings "daily"
seems like it is time to give him the royal complete boot
76_TypeLT 09-12-2008, 05:43:10 PM so what is his ID?

Eliminator SS 09-12-2008, 11:56:38 PM wow, Im so sick of this guy. Isnt there a way we could make him just disappear and never come back on here? This guy pisses me off for more than one reason.
I know first hand what crap this guy does, I need not say anymore, and I bet Im not the only one here he'd regret going through with is "I'll show up on your doorstep one day to kick your @$$" comment. I dont take kindly to threats and if you're keeping tabs on this thread Glenn, you'll leave my doorstep quickly. Think about that before you do anything you'll regret.
Chaindrive 09-17-2008, 04:04:44 PM I'm new here, but not on ebay, where I have made more than 1300 purchases, many of them camaro parts. I'm stunned to find this thread about this guy here right off the bat. He and I and ebay all went round and round over his intentionally deceptive advertising of OER parts as NOS. He lost. And he is NOT a nice guy to deal with at all.
There are others, such as the Parts Place, who advertise OER items such as steering wheels as being NOS. Ebay is very selective about how they enforce their advertising rules and who they enforce them against. They have no problem with buyers being suckered as long as they make their percentage of the sale. You have to call them to carpet and not give up to get anything done (maybe).
I have no problem with quality reproduction stuff. But I want to know the TRUTH about what I'm buying, for there is a HUGE difference in value, if not quality. The only distinction between "Counterfeit" and "Reproduction" is how it is advertised. Think about it...
Adams 10-22-2008, 09:05:08 AM Stupid me should have looked here. I bought some stuff from him off eBay that was advertised as NOS. When they showed up they were nice OER parts, but not NOS. I did not pursue it because it is a shame on me for thinking I am buying NOS at OER prices and expecting anything different :screwup:
Although I did get NOS gas tank straps from him that are NOS. I also bought front spoiler braces from him that were advertised as reproduction and they are nice pieces that fit perfect.
The thing is that if he just advertised what he had accurately he could probably sell it at the same price and have a nice business with a good reputation. Some people just don't get it.
Z20AINT 10-27-2008, 12:02:04 AM Glenn sounds like an a-hole!:mad:

Simon@London 03-15-2009, 01:07:05 PM What a great thread.
Something to watch out for now. I sure don't want parts from a guy who gets them from our members for next to nothing just to resell them.
Get a job you bum and stop preying on people who don't have the time to research your shady business.
I have been looking at parts in the swap meet section, think I will come in here to check with members before I buy any stuff.
Thanks for this thread.
This is what NOS stuff is suppose to look like. I walked in last fall to NOS in London and had no idea they carried so much Z28 stuff.
My favourite store now.

badazz81z28 03-15-2009, 03:30:45 PM Glenn is in the Service...I suggest we report him to his superiors. We take it very seriously when a service member has bad conduct on or OFF duty. Some could classify what he does as fraud. He's an embarrassment,
CamarosRus 03-15-2009, 04:47:51 PM Glenn told me he was now retired from the Air Force. So now he draws retirement $$ for life.
He also has a job, making more money on EBAY than most of the members here do at their "regular" jobs. He claims to file and pay taxes, but with all the write offs of being self employed and using your house as your office, I'm sure he's paying low taxes.
To quote him, he laughs all the way to the bank.
I'm just the messenger.............dont shoot me!!!!!!!!

I didnt think he was old enough to retire...Last time I checked he still listed an "AFB" as his location
rickcact 03-15-2009, 06:41:28 PM I didnt think he was old enough to retire...Last time I checked he still listed an "AFB" as his location
Yes he's retired. 20 yrs in. What he does is what anyone else would do. Buy cheap, and sell at a profit. Dont tell me none of you guys have done this, or would do this. Heck, Ricardo is selling parts I sold him awhile ago right now. Am I mad, no. More the power to him.
Yes his vesion of N.O.S. is not what everyone else on earth associates it with, but he's makng money at it time and time again. He has 99% positive feedback. That has to stand for something.
Also, this is only my opinion. Take it for what its worth.
Rick
camaronutz 03-15-2009, 06:58:26 PM Yup. Last I heard he is no longer with the military and just does the parts thing now. Pretty hard to hide from paying taxes on Ebay nowadays anyway. Ebay forces you to pick some form of trackable payment method, Visa, Paypal, etc when selling parts. You dont get to choose cash or certified funds as payment anymore. It was just a matter of time until the taxman got that pc of the pie...
76_TypeLT 03-15-2009, 09:37:03 PM He was selling a NOS e-brake cable and I asked him what the part # was (I asked kindly) and he gave me the last 2 digits of the part #. I asked why he didn't give me the entire # and he said I only needed the last 2 digits. Regardless, the arrogance of this guy is amazing. Talk about leaving a bad taste in my mouth. :rolleyes:

Yea I dont think the problem is making money. He mis-represents his items and thats not right.

I feel like a shower after reading about this Glenn dude. I'll be sure to warn all of our local club members about him to :D ..
76_TypeLT 03-16-2009, 08:59:56 AM Just so you all know how flippant and arrogant Glenn is, below is his reply to me via eBay. Glenn, you clearly don't get it. Regardless of whether or not I only needed the last two digits in the part #, it's your crappy attitude toward customers that I take offense to (as illustrated by your classic reply to me). Seriously, think about the way you interact with people and try to tell me you don't understand why you have such a bad rep on this site. As I told Glenn, I won't be sending any of my money his way.
Do you think I care what kind of a taste I left in your mouth? Go find them someplace else, oh yeah thats right, I am the only one who sells them. If the last 2 numbers didnt tell you what you needed to know, then you obviously didnt have a clue to begin with...
BUSHY 409 05-09-2009, 12:13:02 PM He only gave you the last 2 # maby if he gave all it to you you would find out you can still git it from G M

76_TypeLT 05-11-2009, 03:18:10 PM Technically speaking, can't any new, unused GM part be called NOS even if that part is still being made today or is still available from GM?

One may consider that splitting hairs...although the classic NOS is new OLD stock, which I've always read as out of production/no longer available. Like a quarter panel. If the seller cannot produce/prove a part number, well, in the end it's buyer beware.
He's not the only one on here that uses the NOS tag for "New On Shelf"....
While I do not know of whom you speak, I've gotten stuff sold by other sellers that was described as NOS that was just re-pop OER stuff. I knew it each time, but the price is right so whatever. But IMO the practice is fraudulent.
So long story short, buyer beware and this guy is not the only ebayer with a questionable reputation.

Right, that is how I define NOS in the classical sense, i.e. not being made by GM anymore and cannot get it from the GM parts counter. But you see NOS stuff still sell that has UPC bar codes on it, which means that it's not *that* old and may in fact still be available at the GM dealership. But if they price is right, then who cares :)
al8apex 05-14-2009, 03:52:10 PM NOS by MY definition is the parts that you USED to be able to buy from whoever and can't anymore
OLD stock 1st run vs last run, umpteenith part number supersession, they are sorta all the same in that they are no longer available from whoever
NOS day 2 aftermarket parts or NOS Ford, GM, MoPar or Honda parts, as long as they WERE sold by whatever manufacturer and you can't get them from them anymore means NOS in my book
OLD stock 1st release parts with the pre-superceeded part numbers in the older packages typically are more desirable, but reissues, such as the 69 Camaro cowl induction hood (that was constantly being reissued by GM over the last 40 years) are still more desirable that ANY repro, regardless of where it was made or WHO made it, IMHO

GM started using bar codes in the early 80's ...
so many 2nd gen parts MAY have been "bar coded" then but are still the real deal ...
76_TypeLT 05-14-2009, 11:49:25 PM GM started using bar codes in the early 80's ...
so many 2nd gen parts MAY have been "bar coded" then but are still the real deal ...
Good to know. Taking it a step further, is there any way to determine the time period pertaining to a bar coded item? For instance, you see NOS stuff sell on eBay all the time with nice clean, non-yellowing bar codes. Now that does not mean it's not "old" but my first thought is that it's a fairly new item based on the condition of the tag. Know what I am getting at?
al8apex 05-15-2009, 12:11:15 PM as stated above, a lot of the parts are held in "bulk" then packaged or have a label put on them or a bag ... so, it is difficult to determine WHEN the part was actually made
dr.gonzo 05-29-2009, 05:49:01 AM wow i can't believe i just read every wordin this thread. it feels like i just got done watching a good movie lol.
anyways thanks guys for bringing this stuff to my/our attention, even though some/alot have gotten ripped off/taken advantage of in the past. :mad:
i guess what i'm saying is that as stressful as these situations are sometimes bringing them out can help others out as it did me. never thought any situations like this happened so frequently. especially to good people that go out of there way to help others.
i will definitely be more cautious when buying stuff or ask for references.
thanks guys, adam:happy:
Bluechevyz28 05-30-2009, 12:57:18 PM I've gone through this entire thread as well, as a forum surfer, and member of several different camaro forums, I like the idea of letting other members know of these bad apples. Having owned several F-body's, these forums gives us a chance to learn more about our cars, and being a gearhead, we tend to help-out fellow gearheads whether it be in knowledge, physical help, or such.
That is what makes gearheads who they are. We belong to an online community, and some of us actually close enough to get together occassional, and if we travel, maybe meet somewhere on the road just to put a name/face together, and start friendships.
As for the bashing of scumbag parts peddlars, you reap what you sow, and every dog will have their day.
70rat 06-03-2009, 08:40:53 PM Looks like Glenn bought some empty NOS Z28 center cap boxes .I have a hunch that he will soon start to sell reproduction center caps as NOS since he has the boxes to show in his pictures.

Z20AINT 06-15-2009, 09:50:22 AM Glenn, was nice enough to send a second e-mail to my Yahoo account saying he knew I posted earlier. :screwup: I think that confirms it is the right person.

76_TypeLT 06-15-2009, 11:07:29 AM I thought Glenn was going to stop selling on eBay?
rscamaro73 06-15-2009, 09:28:05 PM I thought Glenn was going to stop selling on eBay?
Yeah well.....he does things he said he'd stop....like visiting here obviously. :rolleyes:
BTTB71SS 06-15-2009, 09:36:54 PM Wow... definitely will not being parts from that guy... I will keep that name in the back of my head for future reference....
That is just so wrong....
78 camaro 07-23-2009, 01:41:58 PM well i just got done reading this thread.....and i just have to say i will be more cautious of who i buy from and pay more attention to the wording and packaging of the items being sold.
thanks for all the info on the bad seller/s!

Philly 08-19-2009, 02:44:55 PM Wow!!...Glad i read this! Good read guys, Way to be!
Expose this dirt sandwich for what he is.
So who had the doors again?
69LM1 08-20-2009, 11:24:57 PM Yes, and he is still at it, using joparts right now on ebay :(
What a turd.......
Rich
76_TypeLT 08-31-2009, 06:38:00 PM joparts has been on ebay for 10 years and has nearly 10,000 feedback. Is that really him?
Maverick9030 09-05-2009, 10:33:23 AM Nice Read ..this rookie will be tad bit more cautious!
Battmann 09-05-2009, 11:07:48 PM i had some dual TA horns for sale on ebay earlier this year and GM Restoration Parts won the auction for $10. right away i was worried because of the stories i've read on here about him. in the auction i stated that i tried to test the horns with a battery charger and they only hummed so i wasn't sure if they worked properly. he pays and i send them to him. a few days later he sends a message through ebay saying the horns don't work and he wants a refund. i say OK, i'll refund your money minus shipping and i want the horns back. he gets pissed that he's out original shipping and has to pay return shipping. he just wanted the refund without sending the parts back. i say not for nothing, but you got a real bad rep on NastyZ28 so i want the parts back because i don't trust you. so he gets all pissed and leaves me negative feedback. funny thing is if you read through his negative feedback, he doesn't refund for shipping either. i wasn't trying to be a dick, but i felt good that i pissed him off.
70 splitbumper 10-02-2009, 03:53:15 AM Is this guy still around and what name is he using now. I am new to all of this and want nothing to do with the guy. And does he use any assumed names that anyone knows of? What state and or ZIP CODE is he in? I am not looking to bash, just to stay clear of. Thanks for any updates.
I just read this whole thread from the start and am blown away that this one guy is such a douchebag. I hope to never cross paths with him.

qn60e6 10-06-2009, 11:33:15 PM excellent thread, I haven't sold or bought anything here so no stories to tell just an observation. As a community I reccomend that we need to come up with terms that will not decieve the would be buyer and hold the seller responsible. I remember parts being called OEM not NOS, can we go back to that? And all aftermarket parts NOS, it just clears things up so much. So that a guy like this Glen can't get away with misrepresentation. My last comment, evidently sometime after during the military career he lost sight of what HONOR is/was. my .02
al8apex 10-07-2009, 02:55:06 PM 10 negative feedbacks in a year says a LOT ...
leafs_11 10-20-2009, 03:58:59 PM there are lots of scumbags on ebay. but some advice always read the desription twice. i just bought an nos shifter boot that wasnt nos i got mad re read the listing and it didnt say nos . so i just read it wrong. it just said new unused.my fault.
ive been buying and selling on ebay for years.not too mant problems.
one guy bought a gto intake off me for $500. claimed it was cracked and filed a paypal dispute.paypal told him too return it first. i got it from the post office had too sign for it. opened up the box and got chunks of wood back. so he got the intake and my $500. paypal wont listen too me they gave him the refund.
one more advice about ebay if the desription is not very good or pics are bad ask for more info or better pics %99 of ebayers will be happy to send more info.some guys are just bad at desribing parts or dont realize wat they have. and have crappy cameras.
if you get a bad , damaged or broken or false part file a paypal dispute you have 45 days to do so.ALWAYS send it back with a tracking number.you can make 3 claims in a 12 month period.once he gets it back you get an autimatic refund.take a good picture of the damage and packaging first for your own records and never i mean never communicate with the other party outside of ebay.if he sends threats or watever ebay with your permission can go into your mail inbox and see it . and he can get barred or suspended.
i hope this helps
also i agree with f body warehouse. i buy about 1-2 camaros every week for parts or repairing and reselling. a lot of people dont like me because im making money by parting out their old $200 car.i just bought a mint 87 iroc for $500 (owner just wanted to dump it )pulled out about $3000 worth of stereo equipment and still have a $3500 car.a guy come too see it to buy it and started freaking because he seen it in the kijiji for $500 and i was asking $3500.he figured i should sell it too him for $700 because i got it so cheap.started calling me names and left.hey he should of been the first to see the car .
another guy bought a parts car off me for $1000 a week later he calls me screaming for some money back because he found out i only paid $200 for it.
too bad for him.
i dont part cars too much for the money but more too stockpile the good and hard too find parts formyself.
72350RS 11-12-2009, 05:55:27 PM This Glen fella has only one item for sale with a bid on it, based on the link I clicked..
al8apex 12-15-2009, 11:53:35 AM It has been a while but here is an interesting post on HIS website:
http://gmrestorationparts.biz/catalog/index.php
read the review in the upper right ...
"WHERE THE F*** IS MY REFUND MOMNEY YOU PIECE OF S**T??? THIS CRAP WOULDNT BE GOOD AS TOILET PAPER.................GLENN WRIGHT IS A PIECE OF S**T CROOK........."
remember this is ON HIS OWN WEBSITE ....
Edit:
May 2010, the above website no longer works
XxWickedz28xX 12-15-2009, 12:43:53 PM HAHA, those reviews are priceless.
What confuses me is why he leaves them up there!?! Not the sharpest knife in the drawer huh?
al8apex 12-15-2009, 01:22:21 PM Here is another, I guess I was unable to see them all the 1st time ...
"MORE FAKE NOS PARTS FROM THE BIGGEST DOUCHEBAG ON BAY LAUREL CIRCLE.......EXCEPT FOR HIS WIFE.......... WHAT WAS HER NAME GLENN??????? WHAT CATALOG SHE COME FROM A***OLE?"
I get a different one from every new page I go to, pretty funny
XxWickedz28xX 12-15-2009, 01:46:38 PM ^ yeah it seems like the same guy posted all those reviews. He must have gotten burnt bad by Glenn.
musclecarjohn 12-15-2009, 05:22:03 PM LOL...too funny...sucks to be you Glenn!:o
al8apex 12-16-2009, 02:10:25 AM ^ yeah it seems like the same guy posted all those reviews. He must have gotten burnt bad by Glenn.
looks like over $2k worth of burned
the part tags look like he/they typed them on a typewriter
70rat 12-16-2009, 06:14:09 PM Those are hilarious.The guy mentions that Glenn is being investigated. :eek:
al8apex 12-27-2009, 01:50:50 PM we can only hope
hot72rod 01-01-2010, 10:43:55 AM He is out of Florida.
I'm not sure he still lives there. I know the air froce moved him from GA. to FL. back in the mid 90's. Then I belive either they moved him again just before he got USAF or he moved himself to another state.
excellent thread, I haven't sold or bought anything here so no stories to tell just an observation.

Here are the 3 turms everone should know NOS, OEM AND OER
NOS= NEW OLD STOCK these are items either made by GM or made for GM that are on longer being made to be sold by GM.
OEM=ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER these are item that GM bought and resold in cars and/or as over the counter replacement parts. In most cases these parts are just as good as NOS. A couple of real good exsamples are Holly and Hurst.
OER=ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT REPODUCTION these are items that are no longer made for or by GM but are being production because there is a need for the item.
Now granted I used GM as my brand name but this applies to any manufacturer.
76_TypeLT 01-03-2010, 10:00:14 PM So someone said earlier that joparts = Glenn. Is that true? joparts is in Chicago, unless it is an extension of Glenn's business.

76_TypeLT 01-11-2010, 02:16:09 PM OK - I didn't think Glenn and joparts were affiliated with one another. I bought something from joparts, but had to return it and had no issues with the return.

I guess he won't be selling anything then except to some chumps :) I wonder how much of that NOS stuff is available through the dealerships?
ChevyThunderX33 02-03-2010, 04:12:54 AM I have been buying a lot of NOS parts the last 8 months.. I better go look and see if I bought anything form this kielbasa polisher
al8apex 04-20-2010, 01:49:15 PM this thread needs to stay current
76_TypeLT 04-20-2010, 10:12:15 PM It's a sticky, it's always current ;) Has he f'd over anyone else lately? He is still selling on eBay after saying he was going to stop....more than 6 months ago.
mrmuncie 05-22-2010, 09:07:28 AM This guy has had problems on Team Camaro before. I had a bad encounter with Glenn. He was posting FALSE STATEMENTS about me. Al "one of the moderators" steeped in and after all said was done Glenn applogized.
He's a real looser.
UOTE=SSRESTORIVS]gm_restoration_parts on EBAY is now hidding under the new name
mid-georgia_camaro
WHERE NOS means New On Shelf or is it Not Original Sucker !
Have proof in an e-mail he sent us during an e-mail war we had ! opps he slipped on that one.
Not here to bash any seller but when they get that much out of line We have the right to know
I say this sincerly

al8apex 05-22-2010, 01:10:21 PM that one is on our blocked list now too, thanks for the update
Edit:
ebay has no such user
tried _ & _, - & _ , _ & - and - & -
no go, no such ebay ID using mid-georgia_camaro or any combination or dashes or underlines
also tried close matches, nothing shows, still shows he is selling under gm_restoration_parts
He responds to neutral feed back for not enclosing the GM box (duh, he sells repro crap and uses a GM box to make it look like it is real ...):
"Eventually paid, Not sure where he plans to put the box but I have a good idea"
He is a very angry person, stay away from this one
Here is one of his sales for a New On Shelf (of your local Chevy dealer) part that is currently available from GM:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220607053010
gm_restoration_parts price, $29.99 or BIN of $49.99
any GM or Chevy dealer price ~ $15:
http://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/gm-cap-asm-1625763.html
$9.42 ... draw your own conclusions ...
76_TypeLT 05-22-2010, 10:53:05 PM In the case of the oil cap, he's trying to capitalize on ignorance more than anything. Not defending the guy or anything.
al8apex 05-22-2010, 10:57:16 PM OMG! just received this email from him:
"GMRestoParts@aol.com
You really need to grow up. A lot of the stuff you sell is available from GM... Why dont you tell people about that??? If you have any balls you will post this on NastyZ28. You dont though...
By the way, thanks for the lead on the other GM site: http://www.gmpartsgiant.com
You just unknowingly saved me a bunch of money on shipping charges from www.gmpartsdirect.com <http://www.gmpartsdirect.com> for the same items I list.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it...cant wait for my next trip out to Arizona so I can stop in and say hello to you. Not a threat or anything, I just want to see the look on your face when I introduce myself to you and we can see what kind of crap you talk about people to their face...bet NONE since you wouldn't have the balls to confront anyone in person.
Have a nice day
Glenn"
Someone is in denial
None of the items we list are avail from GM, we actually TELL people to buy the stuff from GM that you can still buy ...
unbelievable ...
admin, please let me know how it was he was able to access my email address ...
I really don't care what he does, a lot of the current Camaro parts houses started out the same way, simply selling stuff they could buy at the GM dealer for more than they paid for it, that IS the American way isn't it? :)
Many of them still do that, sell GM parts for a markup. For many it is easier to buy from them than going to your local GM parts counter and having them order it for you (assuming you have the part number).
It is just best to be educated on what is and isn't avail from GM and all the repop sources. As they say "caveat emptor"
