The guy above is a total CROOK, he sold me a "rust free" and "uncut" 60' sunroof and it has rusted out front A-pillars, a huge hole in the heater channel, an late model rear bumper bracket welded on, cut dash, rusted rear decklid. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS CREEP! If you think I am kidding I have the pictures to PROVE MY POINT!!!

I've met this guy a few times on trips to Florida.
Hes got this super cool metallic green barndoor deluxe with chrome hurst bumpers.
Honestly the coolest bus I've ever seen.
Lenny Copp set him up with a "dead nuts" correct barndoor deluxe interior in green....
I think the Florida cats refer to him as "Money Green".

He's a good buyer, sent me payment for items fast. I'd deal with him again, no questions asked.

Sorry but my experience with Robert is the same. He's bad. Sent me two 67 VW seat frames for $140. No mention of any rust. The passenger seat was missing 12" portions of the upper and lower springs it was rusted so bad. I'm not talking surface rust, I can sand blast anything. This is "no metal here" rust! The cross tube at the back of the lower seat was rusted through. The upper latch bracket was rusted through. The "good" seat is just ugly with deep pitting. I sent e-mails, called and was hung up on, sent a letter with confirmation of delivery and pictures of the problem. I asked him if he was willing to do any thing about it. I was told no.
He clearly thinks that no one can hurt him. He would not get away with this on eBay where I have a 100% perfect record with over 100 transactions. Apparently a good reputation does not matter to him. The best I can do is post my experience and warn others.
Do not do businees with him or at worst, see it in person before you pay!

Hey sorry to hear it. is there anyway to work out a deal with the guy so you can get your money back or not.

69t3driver...you obviously do not know Robert. I do, and believe me...he thinks everything he touches is gold and that he is god. so he will not understand why he needs to 'make things right".

does anyone think that its weird that his "nick name" is "Money Green", he lives in "Lake Placid", and y'all call him a "Crook"(or "Croc"), maybe this guy is a damn crocodile, i know someone out there has seen the movie, we need to send Steve the crocodile hunter out there to investigate! until then we should all investigate the things we are about to spend our money on, or does that sound crazy?

"crikey! he's a big bugger! I'm goin to use this westy tent pole to try to snag 'im, and lure him out from under that old splitty... 'ey, 'e took the pole roight outta my 'ands, and scurried back under the bus! e's a clever one, this croc. Looks like i got no choice, i'm gonna have to fight fire with fire- I'm gonna have to send him a nigerian scam e-mail. don't try this yourselves, these blokes are nasty!"

I KNOW ROBERT AND HES NOT A BAD GUY. YOU CAN ACCUSE HIM OF ANYTHING U WANT, BUT HES NOT A BAD PERSON. I'VE NEVER BEEN IN YOUR POSITION WITH HIM BUT HE IS KNOWN TO SELL STUFF WITH VERY LITTLE DESCRIPTION.IF U WANT THE PARTS BUY THEM IF NOT NEXT CUSTOMER KINDA ATTITUDE. BUT YOUR BUYING USED PARTS FROM SOMEONE ELSE WHOS JUDGEMENT MIGHT NOT BE THE SAME AS YOURS.I KNOW VWS IS HIS SECOND HOBBY OR INCOME. I KNOW FOR A FACT HE DIDNT SIT THERE AND RANDOMLY PICK UR NAME OUT OF A LIST TO SCREW OVER. THEN AGAIN I DONT KNOW IF U HAVE SPOKEN TO HIM TO ARRANGE SOMETHING, BUT BASHING SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET ISNT COOL. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE GET TRIGGER FRIENDLY ON FORUMS BEFORE, JUST GIVE HIM A CALL AND SHOW HIM PROF HE SOLD U THE WRONG ITEM. I KNOW EVERY VW GUY ON THIS SIT WANTS TO KEEP THERE NAMES OUT OF THE TRASH TALKING
