Beware of boostjin
Here's his for sale thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sa...kit-evo-x.html
He never said anything about the right side skirt being damaged. He had plenty of chances to, but never said anything. I should have looked at the pictures he posted more carefully. If you'll look carefully you can actually see the right skirt is missing a tab where the skirt snaps on the car in the front. Looks like it broke off.
I filed a claim with PayPal, thank god for buyer protection. I'm not saying boostjin did this deliberately.. But the whole thing feels shady to me.
Ill never get back the time I wasted on this deal.. I don't even care about the money.. My time is more valuable.

I called him several times and left a vm. My final 2 calls last night went to straight to vm, I think he turned off his phone since I was blasting it all day yesterday lol. The skirts are still with me per paypals advise. It's up to PayPal now.

This is a tough one....as stated ^ I really dont think he was trying to scam anyone, just maybe sub-par attention to detail on the part of the description.... As I browse this forum more & more its very clear that ANY blemishes, nicks, or otherwise NEED to be stated in the thread to avoid situations like this...
Im pretty sure the OP would still have bought the product with that foreknowledge but maybe haggled a bit more....G/L

This is his description of the sideskirts; "I'm selling my OEM Aero Kit Side Skirts. It's Rally Red in color and in good shape."
The skirt is damaged on a critical area, how is that in "good shape"? For the record.. I wouldn't have bought the skirts with the tab being damaged, that's why I was looking to replace the ones I have on because the same thing happened to my skirts.. The tabs broke off on the same spot(s).
Also, I left him several msgs and still hasn't returned my call. I prolle called like 20 times. I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he's not trying to scam anyone.. but why no response?! idk.. I'm also sure that he has gotten correspondents and calls from PayPal. Maybe he's just a very busy guy.. Whatever, I just want my money back so I can ship back his stuff and be done with it. I'm taking this incident as a sign to pull the trigger on the Varis sideskirts w/ underboards.

Busy or not if im paying for it you better answer thats how I feel. If they dont like itjust give me my money back or I will have my peeps track you down plain and simple. Some people just dont take business seriously one day they will learn. Playing with other peoples money is like playing with their emotions.

the FACT that he DOESNT return the buyers phone calls is guilt of a scam, plain and simple. If the SELLER didnt have anything to be worried about, he would simply pickup the phone, or if he was busy, check his voice mail, and call the buyer back and explain himself.
IE: Im sorry you didnt know about the damaged corner (or w/e), but i thought it was clear in the picture (blah, blah, blah).
But he ignores phone calls, and ignores voice message = scammer.
