Ditto here with the above post. He accepted my payment by money order, and shipped it out to me very promptly and packaged well. Tom is an honest seller.

I just got a part about a week ago from Tom too. Deal went well. I would not hesitate to deal with him again.

What's with all his ads for all the toys? $1400 for a bandai bump n go? $400 for a Hunts Herbie coloring book. I e-mailed him about it and now all I get is a ton of rude e-mails from him calling me a shithead and dummy? Gimme a break. I hope you guys really aren't paying the prices he's asking for this stuff.

I recently purchased several toys from Tom and had a great experience. He packed the items real well and shipped promptly. He was real friendly and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. :D

Thanks Tom!

I recently tried to close out a part trade part cash deal with Tom. He had a toy that I wanted and I did not want to pay the high price he was asking so we worked out a deal....... I sent him a copy of my trade list and HE picked the items for the trade and HE decided on the cash part of the deal.
It came out to be about $70 in trade $70 in cash. After we had it all worked out he sends me an e-mail saying that he wants either more money or more trade!!?!?!?!? WTF? What a Jerk! what kind of guy works out a deal with someone and then renigs to ask for more? A shitty one if you ask me.......... WARNING: DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS GUY.......MOST OF HIS PRICES ARE WAY TO HIGH AND HE IS A LOUSY BUISSINESS MAN.

I had a similar experience with him when I sold my Herbie Crewcab. He emails me telling me he'll give $300 for it. I reply then wait a day for him to contact me back. Had to remind him how much he offered then he starts asking questions and wants more photo, no problem. Then I wait somemore until he finally gets back with me telling me he just doesn't see the $300 value. Well WTF ! He offered that much I didn't ask it. What a flake. Look before you leap. Thats okay cause I ended up getting $500 for the thing! From somebody that knew what it was before they just threw out a price.

WOW I saw that double cab that was one sweet custom job!

I emailed tom tuesday to tell him what i thought of his buissiness practaces and that the deal was off. that I wasn't going to give him any more money or trade. I also told him to check the feedback I was going to leave him........... He sent me this e-mail today.

Sun Feb 05, 2006 12:17 pm

I think he is. When I had e-mailed him about his Herbie stuff he had, he started badgering me to sell him my stuff. Sure Tom if you're reading this you can have my whole Herbie memoribilia collect for $10k. :roll: [/quote]

Sun Feb 05, 2006 6:51 pm

Hey herbie3rivers......... I will give you 10K for your herbie collection..........and wire you the money friday..............you just have to throw in "Herbie the surgeon" :lol: j/k I should have checked his feedback before I started trying to deal with him. I would have seen your post and ran away :evil: See ya at LBF :wink:

I just purchased a Johnny Lightening Gold Series 1964 Karmann Ghia from Tom and couldn't be more pleased. He was kind enough to hold it for me while I recharged my Paypal account, and then notified me when it was shipped. He packed it in a sturdy box and it arrived unscathed. I would recommend Tom's services to anyone.

Fri Nov 17, 2006 6:56 pm

I liked my item, yeah I most likely paid too much. It's cool though, it is still wrapped. Cool puzzle. I don't spend alot of money on this kind of stuff. It's a christmas present for myself. Something to look at and give to my kids?

Mon Dec 11, 2006 1:32 pm

I bought a TiaJuana Taxi from him!
He shipped it before I got the money order sent out! :shock:

I was a little leary, when he told me in an email, that he was having paypal problems, and that I needed to send a moneyorder or check..
(Big RedFlag to me)

I'm the badguy, because I didn't get the $$ sent off before I received the taxi... Sorry, Tom. I threw in a little more, since I was late paying...

Taxi is in great shape!
Thanks Tom

Well, I'll have to see - I just sent out payment to him this morning for a manifold. He did seem very straightforward in the emails so far. I'm hoping to be on the good list.
:)

I made out on another great deal with Tom on some single-pin brake pads for a Karmann Ghia. Tom didn't make a profit worth anything, but I don't think that's what matters to him. I highly recommend Tom to any buyers.

Sat Mar 03, 2007 9:09 am

fast and friendly for me,sent good useable german parts.
would deal with him again.

Tue Mar 20, 2007 7:56 am

Bought used parts, got used parts.
Paid via paypal Friday, got my stuff Monday.

I had no problem at all.

Thanks Tom

Good seller with prompt shipping! Thanks!

Thu Sep 06, 2007 3:09 pm

PERFECT SELLER!

Just bought some neat little tin toy beetles and have purchased a few other toys in the past from VWguru. He provided excellent communication, great speed in shipping, perfect packaging and obvious care for my items. And, the items I have are great. The photos are good but don't do the actual items justice. Thanks VWguru!
