possible scam?, seems kinda eh Options

[j0e_p3t]

not sure what section this goes in, but anywho... i'm trying to buy something from another member on here, keeping him anonymous cuz i don't wanna put him on blast or what-not. here's what our pm's look like....

$150 plus shipping and paypal fees, I takes way to much time to take this apart. So you are paying for my time and no for parts. $175 shipped

then i guess 175 shipped it is. what's your paypal address?

my paypal ******@yahoo.com

okay. can i see some pics first? and about how much life is left in the brake pads?

Sure will take some pics after payment, do not want to spend time for nothing. Extra $30 for pads

oh hey, what's up. still interested in selling these?

Yes, paypal ******@yahoo.com

i'd really like to see some pics before i send payment. i'll pay as soon as i know for sure that i'm getting something. i'm not in any kinda hurry to get it so you can take some pics whenever you have time. thanks.

I dont have time for this , send payment ...so I can go and take all apart and after that I will email pics. before fedex

does that sound kinda fishy to you guys? no way i'm sending payment till i see some pics. but should i expect to see any pics or am i just wasting my time?

[playr158]

the dude sounds like a douche bag, don't by Sh!T from him

if they arn't willing to take a picture of the product they are trying to sell then they arn't worth dealing with...probably trying to screw you...no evidence of product..means no product

[Toyoca]

abort. why do you have to ask if that is shady or not. he cant take 5 minutes of his precious time to snap a picture...ok durrrrr

[TTE]

I wouldn't buy anything from someone with this attitude.

[lagos]

if he dosnt have time to take a pic, then he wont have the time to mail your stuff out. i wouldnt deal with him

[shin]

if it's me, i'll definitely wait for pics before sending payment. need to see wat ya getting before payment.

[hurley97]

well what are you trying to buy? although it can't be that hard to just take a pic of it. if you're even a little unsure about it, its not worth $175 to risk it. look elsewhere for what you need

[Remy]

Why are you posting our PM public Joe !? we need to keep this private......j/k I wouldn't buy from anyone who wouldn't get a pic and is asking for money asap like that...kinda fishy to me too....anyways its up to you.

[My2Celi]

joe i wouldnt do it, what are you buying from him?

[Daftboy]

Shady....>_>

[airfron]

i agree with everyone else above... the guy seems way too busy to do anything but accept your money... seems like hes trying to rip you off in some way, maybe by not showing you pics of the broken parts,etc.

i wouldn't deal with him


is it a rear brake conversion??

[ExSane]

Tell him he can shove those brake pads up his lying ass. That's like saying I got a 98 2JZ Supra and you wanna buy it? Give me the money first and I'll show it to you.

update....

no need to take anything apart yet. just take some pics of it still on the car. when i see pics, you'll get payment. just take your time.

I have to go to the barn, lift car up, take wheels off, so lets be like pros. You make the payment to paypal and as soon as I will have some money I will take this apart, will take some pics and email them to you before shippment.

Example:
I order lt/spindel from junk yard and before they did anything ..I had to pay them and after that they email me pictures and inspected bearing before shippment.

So, I will have to add $30 more dollars to this deal for my time. Old price plus extra 30 to paypal please.

Thanks

wtf... anyone else call bs? this guy must think i was born yesterday to expect me to send money. and 30 more bucks?! f that.

[hurley97]

you should say who it is so other members know not to deal with him

[Batman722]

I agree, I don't want to deal with someone like this and I would like some warning.

[j0e_p3t]

i didn't wanna have to do this in case i was wrong about this guy, but whatever.... 6gcelikas.

that is completely ridiculous. is this guy joking asking an additional 30 bucks for his time? wtf, who does that. thanks for letting us all know who it was so we can avoid dealing with him.

i didn't wanna have to do this in case i was wrong about this guy, but whatever.... 6gcelikas.

Hmmm, i was looking into buying a cruise control setup from him -- but he actually took pics for me.

I'd pass on it if i were you...

edit: Oh yeah, he was also wanting $55 for a non-leather 4 spoke steering wheel.
edit2: He was wanting $130 for the cruise setup, and i know for a fact that i can get it from a junk yard for millions less.

it doesnt bother me what he asks for his parts. thats his decision of what he thinks is fair and what he thinks he can get. but the attitude is why i wouldnt buy from him.

I thing anything about selling is base on customer service. This guy sounds like hes in demand or something. what a t bag. he does have a nice celi tho.
