I am getting worried about grantco. I ordered a roof rack from him back in June. Unfortunately, when he received it, it was damaged. He has been super about sending me PMs on his progress in finding a replacement for me. The last PM I got from him was 8-03-09. He appologized for the delay and said it would go out in two days. Nothing since. He had stated he was working two jobs and had lost internet for a few days.
At this point you might want to consider getting a refund so that you're not out double if you pick up kpaske's stuff.
I also ordered one from GrantCo and had exactly the same story and his last reply was also in the beginning of August. Back then he said he would send me a 100 dollars refund for a delay withing next several days and the rack that very week but I haven't heard from him since then. No replies to email and no replies to PMs.
I have started a search for another roof rack about a week and a half ago when I saw kpaske's thread on saving his vx from a crusher and sent some replies on other threads as well.
If anyone knows Grant - ask him to check his PMs and emails
Just to let you know, I PMd this seller a while back with no reply. Hopefully he will let us know if the roof rack is still for sale... but i'm starting to doubt it :(Quote:

For Moncha - Think we could add a section to the site somewhere that lists sellers to be wary of (both companies and individuals)? Obviously we'd have to be judicious in who we put on the list, but I think situations like this where you have multiple (potential) scams is a good qualifier.
For those of us that follow the forum on a regular basis we know who the sketchy guys are, but it might be useful to have a warning for newcomers.
Just a thought.
Hey vt_maverick, that's a good idea. However the liability issues may be tough. My feelings on grantco are that he may be really having a hard time right now. Working two jobs etc. I would really like to see mikemol and I get the racks we ordered.Quote:

just so you guys know, i had a very positive experience with grantco- i bought my ome 912's from him a couple of years ago....
although i dont know his current state
That is still my feeling, maybe I'm too easy, but I like to think the positive. I do not think anything bad about grantco, I actually feel more concern. I'm not worried about my money. I just really would like a roof rack in good condition. Oh and I would like to see mikemol get his rack too.Quote:
