I ordered some used license plate lights from him, he said they were rust free and working, not so, they were nearly as bad as what I had, I didn't bother pursuing it for the few bucks I paid. Ended up getting the newer style plastic housed ones for GTS, From D.R....Lesson learned.

Crap, i just won a bunch of timing gears off of him. He did combine the shipping and send me the invoice. Hope I don't get burnt on this.

I bought a steering column from him, shipping seemed a tad slow, but he produced so no problems.

I just won an instrument cluster on e-bay and paid today - I'm trusting the same smooth transaction will occur

I've bought over $1,000 worth of parts from Mason. No problems so far! And he does not work out of his garage. He has a regular place of business in Huntingdon Valley, Pa.

I got an invoice and I just paid it. Hope all else is smooth. It's good to have more people out there to work with. And if the price is a problem, I hope he puts on reasonable starting bids or reserves in the future.

This guy sounds like a real douche bag. It takes a certain lack of knowledge to not fully understand eBay rules and procedures.

Rest Assured- As the others have said, there will be no problem with any transaction- We're doing just fine. The ebay store will no longer be utilized- we're switching to our own format this month.


Thanks.

I have also done business with Mason and had upstanding service. I hate to see such posts that are quick to ruin ones reputation. I am glad that there is someone else out there to provide us with parts NLA. Shame on those so quick to try and run good people away. I see that a lot here. Just saying.

If people have a good experience it's OK to post it but not if the experience is bad? Sorry, that's not the way it works.

I had ordered a cluster from Mason and received an 85 Speedo in it with a broken gear. It has taken a few E-mails and phone contacts to get this straighten out. I am still waiting for my 160 Speedo and will check back as how this all ended.
I believe it's more of a communication and paying attention to details that makes this experience less than fun. If anything can be learned from this is that you need to take care of the customer. It's a lot harder to get customers then to retain them, a lesson that should be taken to heart.
