I would have told him that you will pay for shipping and you need him to send over a cashier check and you will send it by UPS or FEDEX and you will cover the shipping but you need the money before you will rip things apart from your car. Its kinda hard to believe that he can spend $2200+ for part yet can't cover the cost of shipping. To me the guy sound like a flake and a dishonest person. People like that give the whole buying and selling things on the forums scary .

 

What would jesus do?



Wrong of you to even suggest him paying for your fluids. Just keep the kit off and re-sell to another person. Gl

 

You are right, that guy SHOULD HAVE OFFERED it! (If he intended on buying it!, which it looks like he had no intentions) Nice guys gets burned. I have been there also.

 

Never buy anything from a non-vendor in a forum. It's way too risky.

 

Wow. You really expect something from the guy; I think you are expecting too much out of people. Buyers come and go and are not committed to anything until money is put on the table. You should have required a non-refundable deposit to cover the time and fluids of pulling the turbo.
O well you live and learn.

 

Ive bought 5 thousand dollars plus worth of parts off of the forums and everybody has been honest and forthcoming when it came to payment, shipping, and everything else. I know this is not normal and that lots of people have troubles in dealing with things online but I have really appreciated the dealings with the people I have, and think it benefits everybody on here when we let each other know of deals gone sour.

These forums are a huge asset to evom, not only for exchanging parts but for information and many other assets some valuable some worthless and some priceless.

I know the world isn't perfect, evo's dont come with cruise control, but hell, I like it when things go as planned.

Amen.

 

I hear that man. It's hard when dealing with people online because through a keyboard or telephone it's hard to judge character. From now on youre all a bunch of sketchy good for nothings haha.

Scorke.....bro you just gotta be careful when selling parts to other members. Not everyone in this forum is going to be honest and be "a nice guy". Just can't trust people now a days and you gotta ask for money up front and have firm agreement. I guess that's just the salesman in me .

 

....don't take it to the extreme but i guess i can read a person if they are bullSh*ters or not. I have been a car salesman, insurance salesman and now i am a real estate broker, so i know pretty much when someones just blowing smoke .

 

Hehe, you know because you've been that guy working the money out of there pockets...you want to sell my kit for me haha?

and know not everybody is a bastard, I was just making a point/venting with my overly exaggerated comments

Scorke

 

I will close my blinds then!

 

I agree that this forum is a huge asset to the Evo community. I know for the most part that people are honest, but it's just a statistical fact that you are more prone to getting scammed or have flakes on the internet. Everybody likes to have things go as planned, but it's unrealistic to expect that all the time. As you say the world is not perfect. Move on and deal with it.

 

indeed you should.

 

Bro...if you were in the west coast area i could have sold it to some kids with deep pockets in my town who got evos and buys anything as long as it make more power for their rides. I will ask around for you... .
