Brand new silver K&N Typhoon Intake for sale, and cheap!
Brand new silver K&N Typhoon Intake for sale, and cheap!
I just posted this on the parts discussion thread, so I apologize for the repeat.
Anyway, I am selling a brand new, never been opened Typhoon intake (silver) for 01-05 Civics with 1.7L manual (on ebay). Item # 300031688614. Listing it for $110, which is far below anyone else selling it. I will send it to you ASAP too.
Here's the deal. I purchased this same intake from another ebay seller over 6 months ago. Waited and waited, finally after about 3 weeks I started calling the seller. Couldn't get anywhere with the idiots they had answering the phones, they said they didn't have the part in stock even though the listing acted like they had it available. I must have made another 10 calls over the next couple of weeks, finally after about 2 months I finally received the item. I put it in and I love it.
A couple of weeks after I received my intake, low and behold, I have another one sitting at my doorstep. They must have re-shipped the item after I made all those calls, they must have thought they either did not ship it or that the first one got lost in transit. I called the seller to tell them, but they didn't seem to care and didn't offer to send a pre-paid label for me to ship it back. So I've had this other intake sitting around, untouched, for awhile now and I've finally got around to putting it up on ebay.
In my description I said I traded in my car and that is why I never used it. That isn't quite true - I was just trying to explain how I had a brand new un-opened item, and I didn't want the other seller to go on there and see that I am trying to sell one of their shipments that they sent by mistake. Am I a bad person? I tried to call them but they honestly didn't do anything about it.

Yes, pretty "monstrous" of me huh? Trying to profit off of a disorganized company. I originally bought for about $150 which was lower than anywhere else I was seeing it at the time - but I guess I paid the price in having to wait so long for it. Things aren't quite what they seem sometimes on ebay. I actually put it up on ebay before - and I had a "buy it now" price - and some a**hole with a 0 star rating bought it up right away within a day - and never paid for it, sent me an email asking if I would take a check even though I clearly stated I needed paypal - but I was never sent anything. I'm convinced it was another seller, maybe the same idiots that I bought from - trying to undercut me and take my item off the site since my price was so good.
So this time, I have added the requirement that the buyer has to be registered with a paypal account, and I don't have a "buy it now" option. But I will send it off immediately to anyone who wants it after the auction ends, there will be no 2-month delay with me.
