I purchased two of his near mint rims for $250 each plus the ride. I didn't haggle price because I was willing to pay premium for his near mint 9 out of 10 condition rims.
I paid him through paypal and he gave me tracking numbers for them.
Now it gets scandalous, after he receives the money and give me tracking numbers, he sends me a pm saying that I would probably have to take 1200 or 1500 grit sandpaper to them and hit them with mothers polish.
Why would I have to sand a rim and polish it if it is near mint, a 9 out of 10 condition?
I told him I'd like a refund because I was wanting near mint rims not his second that he was selling for a cheaper price.
His first solution was to send me sandpaper and mothers polish.
His second solution was to refund me $25.( the difference between his pricing on his two different condition rims he was selling.)
I tried to give him a chance, maybe these rims were not so bad, so I told him I would be patient and see what they look like.
I received them and one had black tar on the inside of rim in between where a tire would be seasted on each lip. Along with nicks and scrathes.
Then second rim looked good but after a closer inspection before I ended up returning them I found a weld spot on the inside about the three inches in diameter form who knows what?
After this I requested a refund through him.
Here is his exact words along with my earlier request:
ME:
I just received the rims today. One is good condition just like your post about a rim with no curbrash for 250. The other rim I received from you has a nick that I don't believe I can sand out. It would need to be ground down and filled by a professional that repairs wheels. It also has a black tar like substance on the inside of the rim, pretty thick and spread out. Per our original conversation about my purchasing two of your rims with no curbrash, You told me that is what I would pay for. I had no problem with your price and even rounded up to the $550. To me it looks like you sent me one of your good rims and one of your rims that has curbrash per your ad. Work with me here. My idea would be to refund my $274 for the one rim plus shipping to your house or refund my $274 and give me money to ship it to another one of your customers. What do you think? However we resolve this I would at least like my money back because this is not what you described to me that the rim would need to be repaired, sanded or whatever. Thank you.
Bigcowl:
How about i send you the $25 for shipping the one rim back and i will send you a better rim.....
Sorry for the inconvinance but its hard to explann the condition of rims that are all most 10 years old........But in my add i never said mint or flawless.....i said near mint.....I`m hopeing i don`t have to to do a refund because my unemployment stopped 3 weeks ago...This stuff is my only income...Too top it of i found out 2 month ago i have cancer and have to do keymo and radiation for the next 6-8 months.......and i have no insurance......
Maybe your looking for other Marauder parts and or other parts i can send you ??? My buddy has a junk yard but don`t like computors so i help him out.........
Me:
If you want to talk about problems, my wife lost her job last month, my mother needs to move in with me because she was layed off from the school budget cuts down here and lastly my father is at the Mayo clinic in Minnesota with liver cancer, he only has one more round of chemo before liver will shut down completely, just prolonging his death. Now onto our business transaction. We can keep this private and issue a refund to me for the $550.00 plus shipping back to you or another one of your customers or paypal can issue the refund. I was going to cover half shipping back to you but every time I look at these two rims I get upset because i feel you were dishonest in your sales ad. What is the black tar on the one? And what is the weld spot on the other one? I called a shop in Orlando that repairs and polishes rims, they just did my buddies MM rims for $80 per rim. And his were no where near this bad condition. What do you want to do of the two options I proposed?
So did you really have cancer bigcowl?
Because to me that is not something you use to find pity from someone and even if you did, this was a business transaction and you don't bring your problems onto your end.
Again /
BUYER BEWARE
My uncle is down from Detroit and warned me about people like Bigcowl.
In the end Palpay refunded my money and he never gave me the truth about what really happened.
