Two things, this is TECHNICALLY not against GTKiller, it's against his friend using his account, Joey

This is what happened, I went to Irvine, only day I had a car big enough to fit a hatch and wing, he was in a hurry to leave to catch a flight.
So, I checked out what I could, looked at it, but he's gotta leave and I'm in a dimly lit garage storage unit. Whatever, looked ok.
Get home, both sides of the hatch have the same damage... The wing and hatch isn't even for me, so I feel REALLY bad. But... F-it, I'll have it fixed, it's not the worst, just needs some clear to patch it up.

Hey, where are the other set of end plates? (For the wing) texted him, said I took them, I don't remember taking them, and he says the hardware is on the wing. Keep looking around. Nothing... He's already on the flight, I assume, so over a month, I texted him. Asking if he can check. I get no reply...

Look, I don't like doing this, and I am a patient man, but it's been A MONTH...

Again, if he replies, sends me the plates, no worries, no harm, no foul, I just want what was advertised.

Always the classy move when you're a seller and there's an issue with your sale. Buyer's not happy? Off to the ignore list you go.

Pretty much an admission of guilt if you ask me.

Realale · 04-02-2014, 11:22 PM

I've never had a bad experience/transaction on any forum. But rippedforce85 just refunded my $ after buying a pulley almost 2 weeks ago. I asked for tracking # blah blah. Just BS. Don't take my $ if your not gonna deliver. Said and done. At least they refunded my $, but I gotta vent because its the first time it's ever happened to me in over 50+ transactions.

Zbrah · 04-02-2014, 11:29 PM

Which pulley did you buy and how much?

Realale · 04-02-2014, 11:32 PM

Stillen 9lb $100. It was refunded today, a week and a half later.

dmhenderson · 04-03-2014, 09:43 AM

It's not that the buyer wasn't happy. The seller didn't even complete the sale and the product was not as-advertised. That's fraud/theft in my book.

Well, to be fair, I'm pretty sure the buyer isn't happy because of the fraud.

dmhenderson · 04-03-2014, 09:49 AM

Agree. Just meant "not happy" wasn't an adequate description of the seller's douchebaggery

Edit: I need to stop reading this thread. It just pisses me off.
