I will watch out on the seller. specialy it is over 1k and with the seller feedback of 0. Anyway i think that turbo kit belong to a member here,

oh man, if those pics belong to someone else then im getting screwed. my deal wont be legit and that guy will take my cash and run. when the auction was over he told me he would even drop the price down to 850 so its kinda fishy.

well did you pay already for the item? If so how did you pay? Most likely what you can do is if you paid by paypal and he does screw you, you should be covered by them. If he does run though, let me know, since he is from san Antonio, I will go down there and get your money back for you. I will just need his address. LOL

haha thanks for havin my back bro...but actually he lives in the UK...i havent paid yet and i keep tellin him i want to pay with paypal but he just beats around the bush and wants to use Money Gram or Western Union

Whatever you do dont pay, because if he lives in the UK, paypal probably wont cover that unless they are a approved country. It is a ripoff. Him saying he wants to use western union is him saying he is going to rip you off.

I spoke to this guy before, he said he would accept Cash on Demand, where they would ship you the kit and you don't pay til you get it and then you would pay the delivery guy, so you can try it that way...

damn arent those the same pics that the other seller is using? something seems fishy here. I think the other guy took those pics and is trying to scam someone now.

 
Rep Power: 0

Yep he is

it's cash on delivery. and yes, do COD if you can, it's safer that way.

^^^ that auction has ended

ok, the ebay auction that STL01civic posted, I emailed that seller and asked him about the kit and he told me the kit is custom made and that he took those pics in his basement. So the auction that ShadyImprtracer bidded on was definetly a scam. Damn what sellers will do to get free money.

 
Rep Power: 336

why on earth would you bid on something that cost $1000 if he has NO feedback of any kind?

Those pictures are from my Ebay auction I posted about 10 days ago. Whoever had that auction just recently that you won stole the pictures from my ebay auction. I don't suggest you pay and you report it to ebay.

Those black and yellow tiles the turbo kit is sitting on is my basement floor... not to mention that's my hand in the picture.

Like I said, what some people will do for free money. He pretty much gives it away when he said that he lives in the UK and only accepts bank transfer or western union. That is a sure way someone is getting ripped off.
