purchase from forum member

[Hawgman]

I'd expect whatever is pictured in the post. Did you PM him and ask what was included? I see you sent him one to be sure everything is included, but did he reply and say that it would? If so, I'd expect everything that a new kit comes with.

How about a link to his post? After searching, I don't see any posts for an Air Raid intake recently.

I completely agree with your statement. As for the "brand".. he didn't say he purchased an Airaid, he said screws from one would not work.

To be clear it is not the "plastic elbow" that is will mark his I-trader accordingly and that should protect the other board members from getting burned.

I highly encourge this.

I just got the details from the iTrader notification that goes out when feedback is left. If you like, I will see if the guy will respond. If you care to forward me the PMs between you two where the contents of the sale were discussed and he indicated that it was in fact complete, I will gladly see if he cares to discuss it.

havent listed the airaid, have to find the stuff to put back on it that was scavenged to make the C&L useable.

Well good luck, deuce. I hope Doc helps you here, and that the seller doesn't leave you retaliatory negative feedback like people on eBay used to do. If so, I'm sure Doc can help you with that, too.

I assure you that if that happens it will be deleted.

Do tell... care to share your thoughts?

 

[Charlie Sheen]

Hmm, seller is currently online...

 

[Hawgman]

I PMed the seller yesterday. If he responds I will see if he cares to share his side of the story. Not like I didn't offer to help duece with this. But he would rather make snide comments than to send me the info

 

[gijosh28]

Its like you said. This thread wasnt so much about him warning other members as it was about intimidating the seller into sending him the rest of the parts.

1. Why the hell did shipping cost $56?

2. Why can't you spell correctly?

 

[Gallagher]

its called typing fast u smartass .. eathier contribute something usefull or dont say anything at all.. and i dont make the charges if u dont beleave me i can show proof / reciept of the charges

 

[jsawyer]

To be clear it is not the "plastic elbow" that is missing it is the rubber boot that goes between the elbow and the throttle body.



I gathered up enough shit to make it work, will mark his I-trader accordingly and that should protect the other board members from getting burned.

Typing, or was that texting?
Are you asking him to contribute something like the missing parts from your kit

 

[US-1]

its (It's) called typing fast u (you) smartass. eathier (Either) contribute something usefull (useful) or dont (don't) say anything at all. and (And) i (I) dont make the charges(.) if (If) u (you) dont beleave (believe) me i (I) can show proof / reciept of the charges(.)

Ok....I simply asked about the charges because they seemed high. Was it due to "your location vs. his location" or did you overnight the shipment or what?

As for me contributing.......

 

[duece05]

Gallagher contacted me and apologized for not getting everything to me.....okay I accept that. Now just waiting to see if I get the missing items.....

Nothing is my fault. you wanted $150 shipped, I sent it to you. From there on out the ball was in your court. I really don't see how anything after sending you the money was my fault.
Yes the items (except for the boot) are inexpensive and can be picked up at AutoZone, the issue is I purchased a complete kit, but I did not receive the complete kit, what I got was everything you didn't need for your F/I kit, or what you didn't want to go to the parts store and pick up to make what you sold complete.

My thought is "just send the things I listed missing and we call it a done deal", that way I can replace all the clamps and hoses that I had to take off the Airaid kit so I can sell it as a "complete" kit. That is all I want, nothing more, nothing less.

 

[05stroker]

Maybe I missed it but was this sold as a "complete kit" and was it worded that way by Gallagher ? Also what do the parts cost we are talking about ?

 

[shatter]

I looked at the original for sale post and it is pretty short and sweet. Something like "C&L CAI for sale, was on car for 3 weeks. Asking $150." There wasn't much detail. You'd assume the seller would give full disclosure but it's always buyer beware. I know had I been selling the kit, I would have mentioned the broken screws etc and personally made sure all the parts were there.

I sold a MGW shifter and missed a single lock washer in the package. As soon as I realized the washer was left out I PM'd the buyer and told him. I then asked if he wanted me to send the washer to him or if he wanted to pick one up local. The buyer said he'd get one locally so I found out the size of the washer from MGW and described the coating and that it was a split washer. Then I felt guilty as hell for forgetting that one part. So, that's the other flip side of this coin.

 

[bigray327]

The seller's response, aside from being almost unreadable, surprised me in how much he took responsibility. Very commendable.

There should be a rule for selling stuff here that says you have to post pictures. I'm tired of cryptic, half-assed posts, then the usual string of "can I see pics?" replies. It certainly would have helped in this case.

 

[Gallagher]

yes no way shape or form was this a planed thing i had going where i tried to screw someone..my shop guy took it off when he was putting the SC on for me.. so when i asked him to gather it all up for me thats wat it came out to bei didnt really check it cause me being me assumed why would there be missing peices , yes i should of checked a little more but i will be getting him a boot and the maf screws .. because this was supposed to be a complete kit this wasnt sopose to be a half assed kit and yes that was my fault and will be fixed to the best i can at this point and will get it shiped out as soon as i get it all together for him.. and yes again im sorry for typing like shit / fast/... i cut corners while typing to make it faster for me.. i did not realize it was so hard to read internet lingo now adays for people .. clearly that was my mistake as well.

x2. That's how it is on one of the motorcycle forums I'm on, and I think it works nicely. These days damn near everyone has an ok digital camera, even if it's just on their phone.
