I see this add has been in the classifieds forever but no one I know has been able to get a return call, email or anyone to answer the phone let alone a set of wheels. I want a set bad!!! Does anyone know what's the deal?

Evidently they didn't sell enough & went bankrupt! Not that you even posted a Link to the ad not add you are talking about. Rolling Eyes

He probably means this ad

I see similar complaints in his feedback thread

Thanks Everett for clarifying that cause "Evidently" the title of my post in quotes and the Randar name wasn't enough. Rolling Eyes I appreciate the feedback link and will be passing that on to my friends. Now to find another set of wheels.

Last year I was bugging Randee for a set of wheels and never got a message back. I heard from someone else that he is very sick and not able to do any work at this time.

His cancer is in remission. He's back to producing wheels at the moment. If you don't get a response via his samba ads, try finding him on Facebook. He does respond faster via social media

Me, too. He's a one-man show, he does it all, so sometimes getting a hold of him can be a problem..
