Purchased some Ghia parts from Dave. He answered my email quickly, quoted me a fair price and shipped the parts the next day. Very happy with the parts. Would recommend Dave to all Samba users. Thanks Dave!

I purchased a 1970 Karman Ghia convertible from Dave in Sep. 2015. He responded to a WTB ad I had placed. Dave provided every bit of information I asked for and even volunteered details I overlooked. Having met Dave in person when I picked up the vehicle, I can Wholeheartedly say he is as personable as he is honest. Dave went as far as loaning me a rear Ghia tow hook eyelet and offered to pay for the return shipping once I got the car home. He also offered to sell it to me at a very reasonable price AFTER I had the car home.

Thanks Dave, and sorry it took me 18 Months to post this :oops:

Dave,
I'm wondering if you'll follow through with paying for the oil cooler you said you wanted. I've emailed you twice & no response.

I bought a NOS license plate frame from him. It was broken during shipping due to his inferior packaging. I had to file a claim with USPS. There has been virtually no accountability nor any help from him.

In response to UGLY VW gregg anderson, let’s get the story straight: He wanted a substantial discount which I agreed to since he appeared to be a serious collector, but in the end he was not willing to pay for shipping or insurance, despite the fact that the ad clearly stated both were the “Buyer’s responsibility.”
I went ahead and shipped the frame via Priority Mail in a sound, rigid heavy cardboard package, exactly the same as I have successfully shipped approximately 70 other frames to Samba and EBay buyers over the years. It carried the minimum included $50 insurance. Unfortunately, his package ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the package and frame were damaged in transit. I showed his photos to my local postmaster who agreed there was a valid claim. However, due to his relentless emails, threats, name calling and retaliatory ad posting, I told him to file his own claim (which is perfectly allowable by the postal service). I have 100% feedback on EBay and do not know of a Samba transaction (as a buyer or seller) other than this one that did not end well. My advice is: things happen unexpectedly sometimes and they are not necessarily anyone’s fault, so prepare for the unexpected and be careful how you approach those who are in a position to help you. Thank you Everett for your assistance in the matter.

Dave, I received the late VW Beetle rear kick panels today! They are almost
in pristine condition. You packed them like they were going cross country on wagon train they arrived in perfect condition. Why would anyone complain about your packaging??

PS, Thanks again for eating the additional $4.40 for oversize Priority postage and standing behind your shipping quote. I owe you!

Dave is top notch. I wish all sellers were as good as him. Fast email response, super fast shipping, great prices. Buy with confidence you will not be disappointed.
