Alright, let's try this again. If you are wise, you won't do business with Shawn Corcoran. If you do, you will be very sorry that you did. :evil:
I have also seen this bus while it was in project state, and it looks like it still is. Look very closely at how the steering column isn't attached to the speedo pod and the column and steering wheel aren't restored/painted. No rubber mat, no door seals, no front kick panels, no rear apron and I doubt he even has the bumpers that he claims to have for it. Also, notice how the gas tank is orange. It looks as though he sprayed the van with 30 cans of Rustolium. Truth is: The bus is a piece of crap. It might be worth his starting bid, but certainly not $7500, or even $6250. He is a liar and cannot be trusted. He is a non-paying bidder and antagonist. I hope that you are reading this, Shawn.

or, ebay item #2445526840

I wouldn't buy from or sell a damned thing to him, and I strongly recommend blocking him from bidding on your stuff at ebay.

You better back that up with an explanation!
I think I have seen his name mention before to avoid him.

Hey you edited yours so I intern am saying thanks for a better explanation than "don't do business with him" so I don't look like a dumb $hit.

I'd better, huh? :roll: Alright then. He is a non-paying high bidder on a $1395 bus that I had on a 7 day auction. 6-8 months after that costly conflict with him, he decided to antagonize by bidding on a Ford Mustang that I had up for auction and was also the high bidder just short of the reserve.
The goal here is to warn of his dishonesty and poor ethical business practices. I'm not planning to go into a long explanation. If you want to buy from or attempt to sell to him, have at it. Frankly, I hate the motherf%$ker for good reasons, and I am generally not a hater.

Isn't there a way you can remove him from the bidding on Ebay? At least on your auctions. Hopefully you gave him negative feedback.

Yes, you can block specific bidders from bidding on your stuff. At the time of the first auction, My so called friend put the bus on ebay for me. I had no account with ebay then, and my so called friend was not willing to give negative feedback under his own account. At the time of the Mustang auction, the Mustang was the first item up for bids under my own account, and since I had no recorded transaction with Shawn under my account, I was not able to give negative feedback. However, I was able to block him from bidding on my stuff. The two names stated above, are his usernames on ebay the last time I checked.

So called friend? Quit popping off at the mouth you whiny little bitch. I was nothing but a friend to you. The way you go around screaming and yelling at people, it doesn't suprise me when you have a transaction fall through. It was obvious he was going to be a non paying bidder by the way you had to hunt him down, going as far as talking to people where he works. It was only costly because you where of a mind set you could make him buy it because he bid on it. If you hadn't left it there and had to have it towed back for non pay it wouldn't have cost you shit. Who leaves a car with someone without getting the money when they had to stalk him to make the deal?

If your 30 something ass had it together enough to get your own credit card you wouldn't need other people to list your shit for you on ebay.

Ronnie, I was simply avoiding using your actual name, because it is not appropriate to do so. It has nothing to do with anything, and don't jump to conclusions. Would you have rather me used your name? I have no problem with you and you don't need to get upset. There is nothing to the "so called" part of the wording. Please understand that. It is just a way to keep you anonymous and that is all. Excuse the way it was worded because it was not meant to offend. Apparently, you decided to cut all communications with me once I left Oregon. You wouldn't answer my emails or phone calls, and the last time I saw you, I was headed up to Corvallis to look at 2 21 window busses and a 13, and you asked if you could go with me. You now have 1 of the 21's and I am glad that you made a deal on it, but you haven't spoken to me since. Why? I have no strife with you for any reason. What did I do to you? I guess that we aren't friends now, and that wasn't my choice. You decided that, not me. So, stick to the subject matter of the post, dude, and relax. I don't know what your problem is and I don't care either at this point.

Shawn's piece of crap is now listed on ebay for the third time in 2 weeks. It hasn't brought a bid over $3500. Even $3500 is too much. In the first link below, it needs interior work and NOW it needs brake work. The second link says nothing, except $4999 so firm-$6999. Which is it? What a f$$k'in idiot.

Again, Shawn, I hope you're reading this, asshole.

Uhh...Actually he's not an idiot. It is more fun to ride than anything else of it's kind, so yes, it is cool or something.

BTW-No one knows when or who actually did the cutting.

Bryan is far from being an idiot. And I would not post such comments blindly. Know who you are talking about first.

Thu Dec 11, 2003 11:29 am

Dude Weatherly... Take some Midol or something, Chill...
I gotta take offense to the roadster canning...
don't step into shit you don't know anything about!

Thu Dec 11, 2003 11:40 am

Why would anyone start bashing a fellow VW owner's ride without knowing them....... must be VW envy. Either way, you must be a putz! At least that's what you're showing.

Thu Dec 11, 2003 3:32 pm

he's just jealous that none of his projects are that cool. (not that I know anything about his projects...)

Thu Dec 11, 2003 8:32 pm

now you've done it weatherly. Dont you know not to mess with the gang? [-X

Sat Dec 13, 2003 2:18 pm

Last I saw, that single cab belonged to Shawn. I don't know who Bryan is and was not referring to Bryan. I was referring to Shawn. That is who this thread is about. So, sorry, Bryan, it has nothing to do with you. I think that all of you who know that single, know who I was referring to, so don't get your panties all in a bunch, o.k.? And, no, I'm not envious or MESSING with "the gang", brother(s). I would be glad to retract the link and the statement if you wish. Here, I'll just do it to avoid any more conflict. :)
