FS CA: Cobb Swaybar kit, Front/Rear inc. Kartboy links [Archive]

11-14-2008, 05:11 PM

This is my first post here so bear with me. I'm not much for selling parts on forums but my Legacy was totalled, I bought an 05 STi and now I have extra parts I cannot carryover.

I use eBay frequently, my member name is "labrat215" and I have a good feedback rating there. I also just bought a Perrin header from a member here, but through eBay so that might help.

Anyway, here are the bars, both in good shape; all hardware including bolts and brackets included as well as a set of rear Kartboy endlinks.

Local pickup is preferable, but I do have the original Cobb box to ship them in. Over $400 new withe endlinks, here on this post...$280 shipped, $250 local pickup.

if you decide to part with the endlinks, please let me know. I'm looking for a set for my Cusco RSB. :D

Thanks so much!

Where in CA are you located? I am very interested in just the sway bars. Big could pick up the endlinks on his own. I don't need them. PM me the local pickup price on the bars. EDIT: I will also pick up that cobb heatshield too.

But again, glad to hear everything is okay! :)

I wouldnt do that if i were you. I sent the payment for the sway bars and all this guy has been for me is a hassle and a nightmare. For some reason he is extremely slow answering emails and so far has not sent me a tracking number when he promised me one 3 days ago.

tlevinson555 - let's tighten this up and get things squared away as soon as practical so members get their refunds, their stuff and this thread can be closed. Please PM all concerned and let them know what's going on.

Thanks all.

yes sir. i did get the refund about 5 days ago. sorry for not updating. i was having the same communications problems. it would be like 3 or 4 days before i got response from my pms

This guy is a con artist. He was previously known as "spiralsmurf" seen at this thred http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95668.
I had sent him money for the sway bars on friday. monday he said he would send me a tracking number. no word from him yet. He's full of S!@#. I hope his place did burn down. he deserves it. His email address is dbebaypaypal@gmail.com (dbebaypaypal@gmail.com) STAY AWAY form this Unbarible pain in the A$$. He is not worth a breath of air. You might as well litterally light your money on fire. I could have and it would have done more for me then giving it to this waiste of life. If i were the administrator i would block his email address from ever joining.

im not trying to defend him but why would he refund my money and not yours... if i were a con artist i would have just taken my money and split. Just doesnt make sense

SCSpecB

11-26-2008, 11:01 PM

^^took him what, about a week braxber to refund you and you weren't freaking out? this guy freaks in 5 days? Again, not to defend the guy, but if my house (and I'm guessing friends and family as well) almost burned, selling car parts would be a low priority. To say "I hope his place did burn down" over a few bucks is uncalled for. I hope you never have to deal with something of that magnitude. Get a grip.

Ok so thanks to another member i was able to text him and he Finally responded. I never thought id have to try so hard to get a hold of someone, but none the less he said he shipped them out last night and that he was going to send the tracking number to me later today. So stay tuned to see if he holds his word.

By 12:00 eastern time i should know the conclusion to this situation. i will keep you guys posted. I also learned from him that paypal dosent cover misrepresented items not bought through ebay. So i will also let you know how well the sway bars come out.
Again, this is an unfortunate lesson learned to NOT PURCHASE FROM NEW MEMBERS WITHOUT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THAT MEMBER! Also, when using PayPal, make sure you pay via a credit card instead of funds in your account so you have another back up method for disputes since PayPal is virtually useless. If you did use your credit card, wait up to 30 days and dispute through your credit card company. PayPal can't do squat about it since they (obviously) are useless.

i checked the tracking number again this morning, and it still does not work. Paypal says they will have a resolution for me by Dec. 17th if i dont have the bars or a real working tracking number by then.

Did they specify what the resolution would be, or would involve? Since the money was sent/accepted on the 6th of November, your 30-day window is up on the 5th of December. Not sure how they would have a "resolution" for you after the fact.

Andreu

12-01-2008, 09:13 AM

Well his account he uses is in the negitive. So if he tries to use it he will be charged an overdraft fee. if he puts money in it will go straight to paypal for me. If i dont recieve the bars and he never uses the account again i will be the one thats SOL.

braxber

12-01-2008, 04:58 PM

so you paid with a direct payment from the account and not with a credit card? :(

yea. :/ What would a credit card have done for me??

BigInALegacy

12-01-2008, 05:04 PM

Another layer of protection.

Unfortunately, Paypal "disputes" really only have a chance if it was an eBay item. IIRC, in that case Paypal covers the purchase 100%, no matter what.

Whereas you used their money service to send funds for goods (other than from eBay), you get subject to these "loophole" terms of service like the one you described.

Had you used your credit card, you could have called the credit card company directly and disputed the charge, seeing the funds did originate from your charge card not your "paypal" (see: linked bank account).

Let this be a lesson for all who read this. I do hope it works out for you in the end though. :redface:

lucas569

12-01-2008, 05:45 PM

I hear you, and it's unfortunate that you have to go through this. Nothing is less tolerable than a thief IMO. They should cut their hands off like they did in the old days.

But yeah, you can link a credit card to your paypal account so that the charges go there rather than your bank account. Then you have to specify during FUNDING OPTIONS in paypal checkout to use that card.

Sucks man, keep the faith. Hopefully it turns out well.

Andreu

Don't beat yourself up, hindsight's 20/20. :redface:

There's good deals to be had and made with members, it just sucks when stuff like this happens and tarnishes the whole system.

Try to use the safeguards the mods outline. Buy from trusted members with feedback, request pics with the member's user name written on a piece of paper, be wary of new members with low posts, etc.

Don't let this wreck your faith in the market, because there are deals to be had from trustworthy members. :)

I have only done my rear so far, but I had it on a lift, and found it was a little easier to take one of the tires off to get the sway bar out/in. Be patient with it, you'll find every time you move it through one object, the other side gets caught on something else... :lol:
