WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

7/19/25 About 14 years ago my phone rang, and the guy said “hi my name is so and so, and i am in CA-and i have been selling odyssey parts for years. The community of people i am involved with all help each other out”. Meanwhile, i had looked up his Ebay I.D. and realized that he was the same guy that ripped me off on a rotted out FL250 seat. I thought to myself–let bygones be bygones–he asked me to sell him some FL250 reduction gaskets, which i did. Thats how it started. Over the years i have supplied him with gaskets, Comet drive kits, and in the past 8 years FL350 and FL400 cables. I would mark them down to make sure he made a healthy profit AND at times i would throw him a few xtra cables free nice right?

But i always new to be Leary of him, and as time went by customers started telling me that he was bad mouthing me. And i started to realize as i reproduced more and more replacement parts for the odysseys-the more i heard he was bad mouthing me–again i let it go. Then about 3 years ago he calls me on the phone and says “you did a good job Joe” I said “what do you mean?”-then he told me about his new partner ship with some guy from CA who built a website with a name very similar to mine–that was his nice way of saying he was going to put me out of business. Nice right? So right there i decided–i am not supplying him with cables anymore. The balls on that guy! ever since then, him and his cronies have been badmouthing me in private FB groups to destroy my character and my business. His partner is a computer wiz–who by his own admission didn’t get his first FL350 until only 7 or 8 years ago–but now claim’s he is a expert. He also bought his first FL250 electric start kit from me years ago, when i was already in business for 5 years. So i joined FB to keep tabs on them and they continue slandering and abusing me to this day. Here are some of the things they have done and continue to do,

  1. Tell new odyssey owners not to buy from me.
  2. Block me from FB groups. so they can bad mouth me, and i cant defend myself
  3. Attack my website
  4. . Attack my emails
  5. . MAKE THIER FREINDS buy parts from me to claim they are defective–so it can’t be traced back to them.
  6. ACTUALLY, CALL MY SUPPLIERS to try to get them to stop selling to me. Theres more but thats enough for now.

I never wanted accolades, or praise–but as my selection grew–i guess so did their envy.

How does a guy selling odyssey parts not have All the basic parts in stock after 30 years?

Why does a company that claims “they do it for the love of the machine” charge such high prices for basic items?

Why do 2 grown men who claim to be so righteous–sneak around in the shadows bad mouthing someone who has never done anything to them?

THATS all for now.
