Gamma/GTM
 

Guys, please let's not turn this into a shít show.

Trips, I'd love it if you could either pin this or leave it open. I ask of you to do that because let's face it, a BUNCH of people have paid money to GTM, and/or will pay money to Gamma...



So, to anyone who may be new.

My name is Andrew, I have been on this forum for a few years. I like to take pride that I am one of the most trusted members here. I have bought and sold stuff to and from at LEAST 100 members conducted probably over 100k in business here, most active members and some inactive members are considered my close family; that said, all forum members are some sort of family to me, and I do not want to see anyone else screwed.


Anyways, let's get to business.

I do not support GTM/Gamma (Gamma "bought the intellectual rights to what GTM used to make), BUT it looks like Gamma is trying to do right by the tens of people completely screwed over by GTM. Nice gesture, I'll give them that.
It scares me because who buys a business and says, "yes, first order of business, let's lose a couple hundred grand."
On the other hand this is great advertisement, especially if the kits are as good as they should have been like 3 years ago... But again, who buys a business and starts off by WANTING to lose money?
(Side note to those who threw down money and are now asked to pay extra for a Gamma kit, take it. GTM is dead, they don't need to do a fúcking thing for you, better to pay an extra grand now to recoup 70+% of your money by reselling the kit)

This leads to my proposition, if you need anything from GTM/Gamma, or if they say your kit is ready or whatever. Send me the money, or if I have it, I'll float you the money. I'll go pickup your kit, ensure everything is there, and I'll ship your kit out to you.
I don't mean to be an áss or to toot my own horn, but if you need to do business with them, pay for my gas, let me take care of it. It's your best bet to actually get parts from them...


Gamma doesn't want to be open Saturdays and I have a job... Hopefully a couple of you will have your orders ready at the same time and they'll stay open on a Saturday just to get product out the door, or maybe I'll take a half day to drive out. Just keep me posted. (My first pickup is in 2 weeks)


This is my personal cell number, if you'd like my services, give me a shout (text is better)

Thanks for listening,
Andrew

To all who are (justifiably) nervous about letting a stranger handle a good-sized sum of money, take a look at DEpointfive0's track record. He has been The370Z's unofficial Ralph Nader for quite a while and has helped quite a few members deal with vendors.

While I don't know him in person, I am proud to have him on my Friends List. If we ever bump into each other IRL, I'll definitely buy him a drink/meal.

Here's a big "Thank you" to DEpointfive0 for, once again, trying to help the 370Z community.

I have been around since the beginning and Andrew is a stand up guy! I would trust him with my kit!

Just dont spend the night at his house... you might wake up being the little spoon... just saying... (not from experience... just heard from a little spoon)

He's right. You may have to fork over 2K or so extra, but it is better than nothing. That's exactly what you will get otherwise. I would suggest taking the deal.

Just stay away from Ambien :bowrofl:

Vote Andrew for prez... :)

only if u add a chipotle burrito to mine will i use your services

Andrew 2016! Great guy and very trustworthy. He and I only live maybe a hour from the GTM shop where he would be going to pick everything up.

A great option to use if you are out of state! :tup:

I'm not taking a position either way here, but I just want to say that buying distressed businesses happens all the time. Both in the public and private markets. I'm not in Gamma/GTM's balance sheets, however, if value is seen in the business via assets/goodwill/r&d/patents/future cash flows/etc., it's not uncommon for a company to come in and buy that company at a discount because it is distressed. Sounds like they are making good on prior mishaps. They may have negotiated that into the price of the sale. We don't know the details of what they paid. It may have been quite a deal to get all of GTMs technological development for what Gamma paid for GTM. Time will tell...

So what exactly is the deal with Gamma? I heard Sam works there? Is he a part-owner or anything? If so, then I would have a hard time trusting them....

IBTL lol

:wtf2:

This thread is not the place to discuss the GTM/Gamma debacle. DE is trying to help out and all the off-topic BS will get this thread locked.

Bro, I hope Gamma makes it worth while for you to go out of your way to help them! :tup:

Sorry, not trying to derail. Just haven't heard of Gamma until very recently, wasn't sure what the deal was with them. If they were basically Sam's new company or what.

There are a couple of locked threads floating around the Forced Induction forum if you wanna catch up on the situation.

Just look at the bottom of this page! under Similar Threads

Wow, I never even noticed the similar threads section before in all my years as a forum member.

I don't think he is doing it for Gamma, he is doing it for all the people who got the short end of the stick and have nothing to show for their hard earned money.

hahahah i just learned something new. i guess i never scrolled far enough.

I also vouch for Andrew! mans the forum jesus

Know Andrew in person. He looks like he might blow you up but he's actually a nice guy. :tup: I'd trust him with my money over that African prince who keeps emailing me.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You guys crack me up

There you have it,. Someone who will watch over your hard earned cash. The gatekeeper of the twin turbo transaction. Mind you, I really haven't bought anything from him because I did not have money every time he has something for sale. Someday Andrew.

You have enough stuff Raf!!!

Bump because everyone and their mother is trying to jump on their Instagram thing to win a free TT kit

I would like to quote salt and pepa:

Word of advice: Never quote them again. :icon17:

what a way to make people forget they stuck it in a big group dry and raw.

I wonder how many people suckin off the world for instagram likes for the kit were the same who said something bad about GTM/Gamma on here or there.

I've been informed that someone is buying votes, so it's a useless competition

anyone want to take bets on if the winner will ever see the kit?

:stirthepot:

Well....

if your name is GAMMA/GTM/SAM yes.


can DE be an ***?

yes.

do they deserve it?

if DE is being an ***, then yes. yes they did.

:tiphat:

you don't say... might it be the guy with over 5k likes lol

this may be the only time i'll ever saw i wish i had instagram just to troll everyone in that contest and gamma lol

i'm sure you would get banged i mean banned :rofl2:

most likely but it's not like a forum where i would get IP perma-banned.....like the 350 website :wtf2:

so i could just make many accounts and troll.

just like i bet someone made many accounts and voted for a guy if he has 4k+ votes in a community the size of ours lol

that's true lol... you should do it... post screen shots... go!!

yeah i saw on fb, saying the competition could "be closed" lol what a wanker

soooo most cars have 50-250 likes on avg and I've seen 2 at ~2k and one over 3k which is that alex wilder kid who always tries to argue with me in the fb group.

just like GTM's awesome reputation it seems Gamma has a rigged competition. such a surprise lol
