For some reason I don't believe that anyone would scrap their parts if they were leaving the hobby. My suggestion, for what it matters: if you're actually not a good guy to work with, change your attitude and your G screen name, and sell and swap parts and advice like the majority of us. And, if you are a good guy and some of the other guys who have continuously called you out are actually the problem, then keep doing what you're doing and your reputation will speak for itself. Whatever you end up doing, don't waste parts that are already getting harder and harder to find everyday.

I also have to say I agree with Adam on this one, too.

Chill out, and have a re-think, tomorrow will be a better day, especially if you are nice to some one, that will make you feel better. What Sean wrote is absolutely correct.

Mate This site has it's share of email warriors :roll: but please try and don't let them get to you. Like any bully they shut up in the end if they do'nt think they are getting to you. IF you enjoy what you've been doing . Please carry on with your hobby. Loads of 503 guys will back you. It's such a shame that quite a number of really knowledgeable guys do'nt post here much now. Due to them feeling the same way you are. Try if you can to rise above them. Don't be bullied.
regards Nick

I've bought two or three things from Pat and I haven't had any problems.

Pat, if you're serious about scrapping everything consider this....I'll pay you twice the scrap value for all of your inventory...how can you refuse that? I'll even arrange shipping.

Don’t be fooled by people’s unreliable offers,
It’s just a trick to get you excited and waste your time
Send pictures of every little part.
And then they cherry pick stuff.
Rethink about your decision and if still not then help out

Cherry pick? I just offered Pat double what he’d get in scrap for everything. How’s that cherry picking? Unrealiable offers? I’ve bought parts from Pat in the past. He knows I am realiable.

Re think What you did and make it good with the people which are unhappy with wathever they bought from u. My opinion is that you’ll make things right What you did wrong and ask the Lord almighty and all the people you hurt fot forgiveness.
