Hey Fastblack what product did you use to get the nice crinkle finish on the crossover tube?

I real have no idea. That was a picture my supplier sent. I'd go with powder coating. Yes, you can get wrinkle finished powder coating.

im sorry and not trying to bash anybody hustle but I seen another remember hear selling ones polished WITH the godhead on them and look awesome for 41.00 shipped and these are plain and more expensive

whats the difference please???

I know the one your talking of. I paid extra and got the blackened one with a gods head, absolutely 'one of a kind' type work.

I don't want to clutter this thread though as fastblackmerc is an excellent site vendor!

Other than the gods head there is no difference.

I get my plugs from the person who originally developed the idea.... I didn't "copy" something someone else designed.

Oh and it's not a "hustle". Just trying to make owning a Marauder easier and less frustrating.

fastblackmerc

This will be the last of this discussion in this thread / forum. Any other posts not related to the original idea of this thread will be nuked.

Here are the facts:

I do not manufacture the plugs, neither does the person I get them from, so any added work like engraving, although it could be done, would be an added expense that in my opinion would price the plugs out of the price range for most members.

I agreed with the person that I get them from to sell them for what he is selling them for on other websites. I'm locked into that price.

Yes, you did want to see them engraved but as I stated above that would have priced them too high in my opinion.

As you do you own manufacturing you can price them how as low or high as you want. I can't. When you factor in my cost of the plugs, envelopes, postage, travel time back and forth to the post office and gas I make an extremely slight profit. I just want to help members fix a problem they might have with their Marauder.

As for the EATC, you either offered the EATC to me or I offered to pay for it. If you want it back it's yours.

In my opinion, yes you did copy the design for the plug. Adding the engraving adds no value to the plug since the basic design remains the same.

One last thing....... the random number on the plug was an oversight by the guy that makes them as the original run didn't have the number. If anyone doesn't like it I will either refund your money or swap out the plug.

BTW... I used a repaired BCM in my Marauder.

Incorrect. Paypal changed the way this works. If you send as a gift, the sender now pays the fee. Paypal takes the same percentage and gets paid either way, the only difference is whether the sender or the recipient pays the fee. When you send a "gift" now it shows you upfront how much you are being charged, as the sender, above the amount you are sending.

I'll check again, but I just sent a "gift" 2 days ago and the fee was 0.

Just copied this from PayPal:

I'm sending money to family or friends
$0.00 USD fee if you use your PayPal balance and/or a bank account.
$3.20 USD fee if you pay using your credit or debit card.

So there is a fee if you don't use your PayPal balance.

11-20-2013, 02:50 PM
ah....weird. It is really hard to keep track of this stuff now. I must have been charged a fee because I bounced it off my paypal card. Thanks for clearing that up, I thought I understood how paypal worked and it showed me!!! haha I wasn't worried about the small fee, just was curious at how you were able to obtain a zero fee transaction. I use paypal a lot but rarely use the gift option.
