I ordered a few things from Mark out of Ohio. Talk about obsessive packing. I think the box could have been dropped from a airliner and would have survived the fall. Great parts, an ever better price and very fast shipping. Mark rocks. Will definately buy from again.

Have known Mark for a few years - in fact the Thing I have was purchased from him. You will not find a more stand-up kinda' guy! It figures about the packaging - he works for the postal service!

I have purchased twice from Mark in the last month, and the shipping has been prompt, the packaging very good, and he sends you an e-mail once payment has been received with the tracking number for your package. I would definitely purchase from him again.

**EDIT** - and on subsequent purchases from Mark all the parts have arrived as pictured, excellent packaging, and extremely promptly. Mark is one of, if not the best sellers that I've dealt with on TheSamba.

I have purchased several items from Mark and he is absolutely the best! His prices are more than competitive and he describes his items perfectly leaving you no doubt as to what you are buying.

I just bought a used rubber floor mat from Mark. The mat is in "brand new" condition, his price was more than fair, his shipping cost was very reasonable and the item was extreamly well packed.

I'd gladly buy from Mark anytime.

Thanks Mark.

I purchased a steering column assmbly from Mark Bolina (thebugsmy59)- I was extremely impressed by this seller!

The whole process was lightning quick- my original inquiry, his response, my shipping info sent, the shipping quote back, and my Paypal payment all took place within a 5-hour timespan one afternoon/evening. The very next morning, I had a notice with a FedEx tracking number, and tracked the item all the way here! 8)

The box arrived well packaged, with a nice size box with foam blocks on all sides to keep the item in place.

I would recommend this seller to anyone!

Afternoon

Thanks for the great feedback. I do not check this often because when I first started selling on thesamba I got very few just an e-mail back saying all was well with the deal. I have also sold on eBay with 500 positive feedbacks and take great pride in that. Although I do use the same reply for all of my feedbacks I sincerely do appreciate the positive things you the buyer said and mean what I say as the seller. I know buying on the internet can be scary, and people do get ripped off so I try to make it as trust worthy as I can. I do reply quickly to your e- mails keeping you informed and describe as honestly as possible as I would expect the same as a buyer to know EXACTLY what I am getting. I also reply with a tracking number as soon as it is available to make you the buyer once again feel a little more comfortable with you deal knowing its already on the way. Priority mail is my bag in shipping as I worked for the company the last thirty years, unless it’s a heavier larger item I do use FedEx. So once again THANKS for the good feedback and glad you are happy with the items !! HAPPY RESTORATION !!

MARK

I just purchased a used 25/36hp fuel pump rod & spacer from Mark. It was just as he described & at a very low price. He was very prompt on his emails & informative throughout the whole process. The items were also well packed & shipped very quickly, with delivery confirmation. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from him again! Thanks Mark! ALOHA!!!

I had a great experience with Mark.
I purchased two rear fenders.

- He replied quickly to all emails
- He shipped when he said he would
- He sent me a tracking number *before* it was even in the FedEx system
- He does pack his items very well - lots of packing in a BIG BOX
- The items I bought were as described and photo'd in the Ad

FedEx rec'd the parts on Wed and had them to me on Friday - that was quick!
Now to get them sandblasted and primed :)

Recently purchased a brake caliper rebuild kit from Mark. His emails were prompt, detailed, and to the point. He was good about waiting for a Paypal upload from me. Shipping was quick and he packaged the product well. I recommend his services to anyone.

Just got a item from Mark. It was a large item, well packaged, and arrived safely a full day before I expected it. He was quick to respond to questions via e-mail, and more than happy to provide additional photos to clarify the condition of the item. I look forward to doing business with him in the future! Thanks, Mark.
