i found a great deal on an exhaust on psychobike. a ti-force in "mint condition" $400 tmd.. just 1 "flat spot". there's pics too. i go get my postal mo, send it in. i'm eargerly watching the tracking. i wanted it sent to no limit motors, in tomball, tx.
i check 1 day, get a msg "this item is undeliverable to zip 77084"
wtf? that's the wrong zip! i ask seller, he says he's is afghan, his wife must've sent it to my mo addy. yet i was home that day. i would've accepted it, whatever.
so it goes back to carolina, then back to me (this has taken nearly a month)
i open the box.
the can is discolored.
1 of the rings the springs hook to is ground away.
speaking of springs, there's like 3-4 missing, as are the bolts that hold it to the head.
i send him a msg regarding the condition.
he says he wasn't present when it was taken off the bike, he's in afghan.
send it back, he'll refund my $....
i go to the post office. in an attempt to save a little coin, i wanna ship the slow boat, but still have ins. i look at the old shipping label. it says they paid $54. there's priority tape on the box. but the post office wont ship non priority with those labels intact. so do i rip that crap off, then get back in line for another 15 minutes? no, i'll just take the screwing.
they calculate my return shipping.
incredibly it comes out even higher!
$56.00
i guess there's no chance in hell i'll get my shipping back.
if there's a black cloud over my head, why's it so fkn hot?
i'm fkn done buying big ticket items on the net
:banghead:
 
you have to be a sluth before you buy anything that wasnt from a ligetimite dealer on the web, and even those will give you problems sometimes...stay with the people here or the sponsers and you will never have a problem
 
I hope all will workout in the end-if not, be sure to add it to the blacklist in the classifides on Psychobike!

so, do i burn him on there if i don't get my shipping back?
i'm thinking i'll just leave the trader rating alone if i get it all back.
this bad trade scene is all new to me:banghead:
 
When you buy stuff from a private party you're depending on a total stranger usually to honestly present an items condition...then take your money and hopefully send you the item...and in the condition as described. When you're selling you have to hope you don't get a phony cashiers check, money order, etc etc. It seems like pretty risky business :laugh: One good burn and any potential savings have been erased :banghead:
 
I like to show up on people's door steps and talk to them when these things happen. I am not very intimidating myself, but I will bring two friends with me that are about 6'-4" 350 pounds.

:laugh:
