    Thumbs down CobraRR93 Anybody know this guy??

    I hate to do this but after about 5 attempts(private messages with no response) to get my money back from this guy i thought i would post it here. Here goes the story. 2 weeks ago(on a thursday night) I met this dude at quaker steak and lube in pleasant hills to pick up some mil eliminators. Well at first i thought the price was to high but i needed them so i proceeded. Upon going to jeffs place(1st try engineering) and getting my car on the lift and everything done,the last thing was connecting the mils. Well to my surprise the mils were o2 extensions. Now i know some might say y didnt u look at them when u bought them but it was 10 at night and they were in a bag and i drove over a 30 min to meet this dude and i just wanted to get back home. Now fast forward, the other day he finally sends me a message back saying he doesnt want to do bad buisness and hes been busy and such and he grabbed the wrong thing. He said he would either give me the correct item or give me my money back?? He said he could meet me last thur or sat(its now monday) The funny thing is that he has posted on this site after i sent him the messages so he obviously got my messages??. Not to rant anymore but nobody likes to feel like they've been ripped off when all i asked of this dude was to atleast call me. I've pm'd him my number a couple of times also. Anyways anyone know this dude or a number i can contact him at?? Any help would be great. Thanks

    That sucks, Rob. But, how does the car sound and run? Did the light come on yet? In very rare instances, some off-road pipes won't trip your CEL. I had a buddy with a Dr. Gas o/r x and his car's light never came on. Maybe you'll get lucky.

    Oh, and CobraRR93, don't rip this dude off for like what $40-$50. WTF?

    Do the right thing.

    Man it sounds great. My face was like christmas once it was done and i revved it up. Night and day diffrence from having just mufflers. It seems to pull alittle harder and i love the sound. The light stayed off for 4 days then it came on.

    Edit and i like i said. I didnt want to put this dude on the spot like this but how else was i supp to get his attention. How busy are u that u tell me what days are good to meet,then u dont respond. We all live busy lives but its called priorities. I'm not trying to make a big deal about this, but in the end it's bad buisness. It was $40 for some used mils.

    No matter how busy, you have to do the right thing. I go out of my way when I sell somthing because thats the way I want to be treated when I am buying.

    rob you have his number...you called and txted him how many times...and you got it from my origianl post which is still here. Not everyone gets on here everyday.


    No i dont have his number cause if i did i would've called?? The number that he pmd i deleted cause my inbox was full and that was before i even purchased them. He didnt say he would meet me the next day, he said he was available thur or sat.The point is,he sold me the wrong part,offered a refund then i never heard from him. We're all adults and you know when u owe someone money and you just plain ignore them. If you tell me its good to meet thursday or sat then never get back to me, what am i supp to think. Honestly theres no excuse really. Its almost tuesday and i bought these 2 weeks ago.

    Well if u talk to him have him give me a ring.lol. Thanks

I really don't want in the middle of this, but he doesn't get on and post and its not right that your going to accuse him of all this sh!t, when he isn't on here to respond.

    Y should i save his number?? I guess i should've checked the post but i was referring to my pm box. Your right this has nothing to do with you and since your are his gf,friend,etc i figured you could pass the word. Thats it. I never asked for you to come in the thread in start defending him. I just want the money back thats it. I can meet him tonight,tom whenever. All i ever asked of him was for him to call me. I sent that a couple of times in pm's. Also to mention again. He never said he would meet me at bike night. I've no clue where your getting that from. He said quote on quote. I CAN MEET YOU THURS OR SAT. I responded saying thur was good and to call me to let me know that he was going to be there. I wasnt going to drive 30 min for nothing. That same day(last thur) i even went to the library on my lunch break to use the computer to check and see if i had a message but i didnt.

    Once again to clarify i never asked u to be in the middle of this. Me personally if i know i owe someone money on a website. I would find the time to atleast log on and check my messages to see whats going on. . Another thing he owes ME money, y should i've to call and track him down?? C'mon that doesnt even make sense after i pm'd him several times asking him to give me a call to let me know what the deal was.

    Not adding fuel, but I wouldn't put anything on a site for sale that I don't regularly check. And nobody exspects to get riped from someone local on a local site. I have bought tons on here and had no problems, but one person can ruin alot.

    Once again wrong info. I never talked to him on the phone after i figured out that the part was wrong. I blame myself for not checking it out but on my defense it was 10 30 at night and i drove over 30min to meet him. For someone that has a TT cobra you would think he would kno the diffrence between mils and o2 extensions. Granted if he grabbed the wrong thing thats fine cause we all make mistakes. I pm'd him letting him know that the part was wrong. I've never spoke to him on the phone since the night when we met.

    The guy who doesn't get on all the time was on today 10 am. I hope this gets cleared up, 40.00 is not worth the grief of people thinking your dishonest.

    i agree with lib. i wouldnt sell something on a site that im never on. a lot of times that site is the only means of communication between the two people and if your ignoring someone on a site why wouldnt they do the same with thier phone. $.02

    x3...this thread is retarded!!! there is absolutely no excuse for this at all!!! there has been plenty of time to make this right on the sellers part PERIOD!!! to make matters worse, seller has a fellow board member (girlfriend/friend or whatever) that has clearly communicated with him yet there is still no resolution and a bunch of excuses?????????? what a joke!!! leadership can delete my post, edit it or whatever floats there boat...point is...

    SELLERS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!!!

    i don't care how you sell or where you sell or if your a vendor, shop owner or just your everyday enthusiast selling off parts!!!

    DO THE RIGHT THING!!!

    Hopefully this get solved asap. I still have not heard from him and i beleive it was mentioned by one sweet day that his phone number was in the post that he made in the for sale section. Well maybe i'm blind but i just checked and its not there?? So how can i call him?


    This is straight from his post.

    Predator Tuner, used once- $225
    MAC Off Road Pipe, on car for roughly 2500 miles, like new- $180
    Cold Air Intake on car for 2500 miles- $100
    FRPP MIL Eliminatorson car 2500 miles- $45 SOLD!!!!
    12"inch Infinity Sub in new box w/300 watt amp and all wiring, hits hard with bigger amp, keeping my 1000 watt amp sorry- $150

    All parts are like brand new, the car was a garage queen and babied by my 50 year old father, they are all off a 04 anniversary GT. I can meet you and i can negotiate a little on the prices but not much. If your interested please get ahold of me here, these parts need to go quick i am moving and do not want to pack them with my stuff.
