Has anyone heard, or know, if Joel (Crown14) of Buckhorn Imports is OK?

I’ve tried to contact him, in every way, with no luck. I believe him to be a good, trustworthy, accomplished, and knowledgeable guy. So this lack of correspondence is completely out of character. I am actually worried.

My reason for reaching out is that I bought an engine from him a while back and now can’t get any messages returned. Any info would be appreciated. Hoping for the best.

Thanks everyone.

I posted on the other site as well. One user said that he was on Facebook frequently so that’s reassuring.

I don’t use that service so hopefully I can find someone to reach out to him there.

Does anyone know/see him personally? Hoping someone can let him know that I’ve called, pm’d, and emailed without any luck.

Thanks everyone.

I don't know him personally, but I bought an ECU from Buckhorn Imports off eBay 2 months ago without issue. He has a bunch of recent items he has posted for sale recently so someone is monitoring the eBay store. Maybe try the eBay contact seller function?

I can only add that I've also done some business with Joel and he has always done right by me. I've gotten to know him a bit and I'd think if he is not getting back to you, there is probably a good reason why.

Agreed. I’ve worked with him before and never had any concerns. That’s why I’m reaching out. To find out if he’s on holiday or something. It just been a long one sided convo thus far ;-)

As above, im pretty sure he bought an engine from me 5 years ago. There was some delay in shipping on his side of the transaction I can't remember if he couldn't come up with an appropriate delivery address or if he suddenly didn't need it urgently anymore or whatever. So it sat out here for years. Then about 3? Years ago he contact me and again the details escape me after SO MUCH TIME HAS PASSED but I think he then wants me to sell it to someone else for him. Which is bad business IMHO. Also I do remember he wanted me to foot the new shipping increases to Oregon (I'm on the east coast wtf?) Then since that "fell through" I haven't heard jack shit.

I don't mind finding a safe place for something paid for for a reasonable amount of time but 5 years is nuts. If you're years-old email chain got spam filtered I wouldn't be surprised. I've definitely changed phone numbers since.

No idea where the 24 days figure came from, but it is complete horseshit. So d90overkill what is it that I can help you with at this point? Do you want to pick up your engine? Is that it? Or are you wanting me to sell it for you again? Hurry up and reply because you know how I am about "correspondence" you wouldn't want me to get distracted and forget to get off a prompt reply 🙄

“No idea where the 24 days figure came from, but it is complete horseshit” ..... just see below attachment.

Let’s be civil. I’ve been nothing but polite and sincere. Didn’t mean to offend, merely get a response. If someone had said you were on holiday, or even freakin’ safari, I would have settled for that and waited for you to respond at your leisure when you returned. Instead, I had nothing to go on from my unanswered voicemails to the business, emails to the business, or any of my PMs on either forum.

So that the discredit campaign that your possibly inadvertently launching doesn’t go unintentionally off the rails, here (screen shots below) is the proof of 24+ days. Phone calls and Emails were earlier I believe.

Can we just work this out privately? Obviously we have each other’s correspondence as we have spoken over the years without any mention of a problem storing the engine as I had paid in full for the engine, including shipping to the west coast. Happy to send them on to you or post in either forum if you’d prefer this all work out in public.

All the best-Dave

Haha. Good to hear! I misremembered, but not the gist ;-)

And despite my best efforts, your truck is still my son’s favorite!

Hey Joel,

Checked the thread this morning, as a fluke, and saw you were online. Went to send you a pm by clicking on your name and saw that you were reading this thread. Was hoping for some feedback. I waited for a post and then sent you another pm and an email just in case they reach you. Just please get back to me somehow. Hope you are well.

All the best-Dave

For some unfathomable reason it is nearly impossible to type a reply now from my phone to any forum post anywhere and I don'thave the patience to navigate between subgroups or to different areas. Even going back a few spaces rk to edit a misspelled word is almost impossible without a screen coming up that shows raw code. So bear with me.
