So I bought a part from a fellow 914world member recently and when I recieved it I didnt get what I expected. I was trying to get a clutch tube intact with the fire wall patch section and I got only the firewall section with the clutch tube cut off about 1.5" long. I Messaged the seller who said he would cut out the rest of the clutch tube and send it to me. That was 2 weeks ago. I messaged them day before yester day with no reply and their member info says they logged in today . Now what? Ask for a refund or is that out of the question because they had to cut it out of the car??

Hire a freaking bounty hunter.


Why does everyone need to know "what to do?" Well. Fuching handle it like you would any other transaction. You purchase item "A," and you receive item "B." Talk to person "C." If solution "D" cannot be reached, then divide by "E" to get your money back.

Did you ask for pics, or try and confirm that the item was actually what you wanted? Did you make it totally clear that the clutch tube needed to be in-tact?

Unless the guy advertised one thing, and sold you something else, I'd say you should probaly just suck it up. As a seller its kind of annoying to be asked a bunch of questions, but as a buyer, you HAVE to know that what you are buying it what is for sale. If the part is not rusted, you will be able to resell it.

will this get the job done? these are not an easy item to remove while salvaging the complete tube. i doubt i will attempt it again. just a little pain and a little a blood. a picture will tell the story. i'll post one if you want me to.

All sarcasm aside from the boys posting before me and no offense to you Slim (okay maybe a little)... I think all this "outing" of seller / vendor problems is getting rediculous.

I mean come on... haven't you people ever had to deal with problems in purchasing before???

Are we so shielded by the fact that we are not face to face that we feel free to start throwing rocks whenever there is the slightest hint of a kink in a transaction.

I say enough... this is one area that I would like to see the Admins curb this petty stupid posting.

Just my .02... Rant off

Ooooooo, nice one. Any maggots yet?

We are all adults here (Ok, most of us) , I know why you ask, but this is between

you and the fella you bought it from. PM him again and be patient, if he has

integrity he will get back with you. If not, you have learned a valuble lesson, and

no court in SoCal would convict you.

Pick up the telephone and call the individual. You do remember how that works right?
If you didn't get a phone number when you did the deal (something I always do just in case) Then look at the box your part came in, get his return address off of it, and go to Zabasearch. com and find his number.
Give him a call and get it resolved and find better things to do with your time then post here with this kind of thing. The time you took to post you could have picked up a phone and had it resolved.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Kevin is a questionable character. He doesn't like William Shatner.

I have no problem attempting to resolve a problem on my own. But when the other party didnt respond or follow through with what they had promised for 2 weeks I started to wonder what was up. Since it was a part cut from a car special for me I wondered if I would be out of line to askfor a refund. This is all irrelevant now since the other party replied prommising to send it in the next few days.

Additionally. Why even open the thread if you dont want to have anything to do with the topic???

i always ask for pics and usually get them - so far most transactions have gone as planned.

that said - that hand looks like crap - hydrogen peroxide and neosporen - every day - and chicken soup : )

Kevin! Bet you invented a few new words with that one. May not have increased the value of the part, but it sure dropped the value of the hand.

The good news is......it will buff right out.

slim, i opened the thread due to your appearent delema. i took the tube assembly out on wed thinking you might need it rather than send the assem out with the car to the crusher. i guess not. sorry for the inconvenience. more often than not these part complaint, 'what do i do?', threads take this sideways route.

marc, about all i said was " turn the grinder off" after i threw it on the ground. tis but a minor flesh wound. not like it's a displaced wrist or ankle fracture. i've had those. they hurt!!!

Posted by: slim72914 Oct 20 2007, 02:19 AM

Rhody, thanks for the pics and offer. I appreciate someone trying to help,rather than critisize me for starting this thread. If it falls through I'll PM you but dont hold it on my account if you are getting rid of stuff.
