goracing87g (Thom Barth) is a bad trader/seller.

I bought a Kyosho Mini Z from him (5/25/03). We agree that I would pay half now and the other when I get a tracking number as proof of shipment. Then he told me that he really needed the money. He said he will ship the mini z by priority mail on Tuesday (5/27/03) since Monday was a holiday. I believe him and paid him in full (big mistake).

It took him a 1 week to ship it (6/02/03). He didn’t even ship it by priority mail like he said. I got it a week later (6/09/03). Now I just got and it turns out to be the fake cheap imitation mini z (Hei Pao) from ebay. They go for $10 on ebay. Before I even paid him I ask if it was a real Kyosho Mini Z. He told me yes. I paid him $75 and I got a cheap $10 imitation.

I was hesitant at first since he was a minor, but he assured me he was trustworthy. He gave me a link for a feedback from a person, pancarman01 (http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?threadid=53418&highlight=goracing87g), giving him a positive feedback. It turns out to be his brother. I found out after talking to his brother. He tried to sell me a XX4, the same one pancarman01 is selling (http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?threadid=53764) .

Do not deal with him. He will just rip you off like me. I have emails, as proof, of everything. I will try to get a refund from him. I will post back.

Here are pix of the cheap imitation mini z that I got from him: http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/i_r_azn/lst?.dir=/mini&.src=ph&.order=&.view=t&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/

The XX4 actually was sold to him from me. I sold it to him (Tim) way back in like february. I made sure ALL $150 was in the Paypal account before I would ship. I know a few other people on here had problems with him in the past, I was leary with the deal but he paid immediatley and I had no problems with him in that deal. I know its the same XX4 becasue the link showed the body on it, the body that I painted at the 2002 Lansing MARS race in Lansing, Michigan.

Good luck guys, I hope you get your money back. Don't view this as neg feedback, take it for whats it worth good or bad. I just gave the honest truth of my dealings with him. Pancartom as his brother I have no idea, I think one of them used to go by the handle "hotrod18", which I think was banned some time ago. :(

Make sure to keep us posted and updated on this please! Thanks. :)

Promatchracer and all - I did receive partial payment (refund) from goracing87g. One payment for $6.21 and anther for $40. We are still working on the rest. I will keep you guys posted.

As for pancarman01 (Tim – Thom’s brother) he is correcting this matter. He is helping me get the money back. When I posted the first post I didn’t know that Thom used his brother name to post that feedback. Thank you pancarman01 (Tim) for helping me.

Well, here we go gentlemen.

I have banned 4 different user names from this deal.

I am going to let you in on a little secret......I don't really think Tim has a brother named Tom.....why????? They are using the SAME dialup internet access........MULTIPLE TIMES!

So far......Tim Barth has 4 different accounts to access HobbyTalk.......the true scammer.

IF ANYBODY MAKES A DEAL WITH either of the "Barth Brothers"...you do so at your own risk!!!

Boss,
There are two of them boys. Tim and Thom.. Yes, they are scammers.
They raced at a local track where I raced. They needed a speedo for one their cars and the owner said he had one he would sell them. They said they would pay him the next week. Guess what, Never Did. They
would continue to buy crap and when asked about money for the speedo, We are broke is what they would say.
They even did some scamming locally.

Thanks,
Randy :jest:

Tim Chats with me from time to time. He is sort of a odd Duck, compared to most but has not put me off . and asked me to post this sort of appoligy.
This is a copy and paste direct form the email he sent me about 2 mins ago.
If this is in voiolation of some hobby talk rule(s) which I may be unaware of, please, deleate the post and beat me with a wet noodle.
Tim seamed sincre, and hence I have posted, but keep in mind, the post bellow is entirely his words, not mine, and I wish to remain a nuetrual party please.

Talk to Tim direct at email:Barthmotorsports@aol.com.

Tim's letter:
Subj: here.

From: Barthmotorsports
To: Batteryman2400a



I would Like To Say Sorry for Every thing That Has Gone On. When this 1st Started My Bro. (Tom Barth) Told me about Selling this (Fake Mini Z) I Asked him if he told the guy that was buying it that it was a Cheep Version. he said he did. And then He Found out my password on Here and posted a Good Feedback. When I seen that I. Yelled at him Big Time. And then Dark_Alliance Posted That Stuff about me. how would he know any thing about me. I never sold him any thing. just a guy mad Because I found out he sent me a Virus. Then XXX-Fan Comes on here Saying IM a Local Scammer. I don't Think so. I Did pay for that ESC. What he did not know was I was paying for it every with a little at a time. The part that really kills me is my local Off Road Track is on hobbytalk. and I cant View or post on that part.. I want to Say Sorry to The Boss I did not Mean to say that stuff about you man. Sorry about the mutable names. I really want to come back to hobby talk no really to Sell Stuff. just to post on the Forum side of it. The Boss IM Sorry For Calling you Dumb. its just I thought you could kind Figure out that we are both in the same house. Maybe this will clear some stuff up.. I hope so
Thanks a Ton:

Maverick,

No, nothing on the cash. With the way they scan mail now, I do not send cash anymore. I would prefer to pay that way too!!! The only ones that I know of that do not scan is UPS?? You sent yours thru mail didn't
you? At least that is what our UPS driver told us at work.

For the Barth brothers.

Well, here is where I sit on this matter.

#1. BOTH of you know the rules, BOTH of you broke SEVERAL of them, many times.

#2. BOTH of you made mistakes. It is NOT my job to teach you how to grow up, nor would I. But, this IS one of those lessons. Actually, SEVERAL lessons in what has transpired.

BOTH of you have burned too many bridges, time for you to find another website to hang out at.

DO NOT CREATE ANOTHER LOGIN HERE!

BOSS;
sorry if i did something I should not have done, I hope I have not caused a problem.
in hindsight I should have asked if my last post was permitted, prior to posting.
I,m trully sorry if I violated a rule or rules by doing that, and it wont happen ever again.

TheBoss
06-24-2003, 03:02 AM
Oval4Ever,
I emailed you as well.

You did nothing wrong.....rules or otherwise. You simply posted an email and an explanation of what you have known from the Barth brothers. Nothing more, nothing less.

If anything, and I did include this in the email, should be commended for your post.

As I also indicated in the email, your post did not bash any member, break any rules or guidelines.......so.......

As far as "banning" anybody. Hank and I have had NUMEROUS discussions about banning someone. It is an unfortunate tool that must be utilized at times. It is definitely NOT something that any of the moderators use with any frequency. If you are banned from ANY website, at least in my opinion, you have committed severe offenses. On HobbyTalk, you will be banned for cursing, continued bashing of other members, etc, etc. The rules & guidelines can actually be simplified in these terms. Do unto others as you would want done unto you. Remember, on the web, you cannot "see" the other person.

I also did a deal with tim. I sent him 18.00 for some foam tires.3 weeks later still no tires. i finally told him i was posting bad feed on him and he sent me a refund. i have done prolly 400+ internet deals and i can ussually read people very well. going into this deal i was not feeling to good he was to persistant. a good way to read someone is if they are laid back about the deal they always seem to come through. ive noticed the pushy ones have more to hide.

He instant mesages me all the time to and ask's me questions, i have no problem answering. he asked me how to make his 2000 packs perform better so i showed him a link on dead shorting. i messaged him back and asked how it was working ,and he says he blew up a pack. then he said it was my responsibility to replace it, or give him a new motor and other stuff or he would bash me on here. i thought it was funny he never mentioned it blowing up in the other messages, but when i brought it up he was like oh yah. i think he was just trying to scam some more things off of me.

and as for the subs i didnt do a deal with his brother but he tried to get me to buy a bunch of junk from him. he sent me pics of the stuff, and he was using tims name on the computer. since the first time i talked to him he said he had a brother so i guess he does
anyways this is my input on the situation i learned to stay away

Well even I got stabbed in the back.
after trying to help them both.
TIM's bro, Thom decided to bombard me with IM's the other day, then when I got a chance to reply,( about 2 mins latter, I was talking to three people) He just ignored me. I tried to see what he wanted for 30 mins, with no reply, ( yes he was signed on AOL, and I could see that)so I just decided that enough was enough, and blocked his screen name.
Next Tim emails me wanting, darn near demading, I talk to his "bro" to which I said "give me a few days to simmer down"
He responds "cool."
What he didn't realize is I was also chatting with another hobby talk board member, and he is talking to the same guy, telling him what a jerk and well, colorfull metifores were also used to describe me by TIMMY, and the board member was kinf enough to forward TOM"S post to me, which I forwarded to tim, with no reply.
I wish I had never done him the favor of playing go between.
seems these guys are fine, so long as they get exactly what they want, when they want it, and how they want it.
Tim also made comments reguarding the sexuality of hobby talk board members to include the BOSS, Darkside, and XX-FAN.
I write this to let you all know that these guys will type and say aything they think you want to hear inorder to achive their goals, then stab you in the back in a heartbeat.
They should never be given any chance by anyone, unless it's by a masacist who enjoys torture!
