I was burned on buying a used part on the net.

I wasn't going to post this as it's embrassing to me, but I was ripped off and I should have known better.

I know, I know, I should have asked for pics. I think from now on, I'm going to stop being the cheap basta*d and buy new.

Beware of XplicitPerformance - LS1TECH

Hard lesson to learn...but he did say he would refund and hasn't what a douche...

tomurphjr · 10-27-2009, 11:49am

The thing is, I don't know why I didn't ask for pics. Every other part I have ever bought over in the last 10+ yrs on the net, I asked for pics and I knew EXACTLY what I should be receiving.

I didn't research stalls well enough to know that I didn't get the stall I bought, I didn't ask for pics, I didn't do anything I normally do.

With everything I found on this guy, I might still be in the same situation even if I knew what I was suppose to getting....He seems to be a really shady character.

I posted this as well on LS1tech............
A reputable company would refund the $$$ on the TC after it comes to light the TC was not as advertised…shame on any company for not doing minimal homework prior to the resell to verify what they were selling…
IMHO, there is some contributory negligence on the buyer for not insisting on pics and asking the right questions………..a lesson well learned I bet eh Tom!

That is the problem with a lot of these sites, someone wants a quick buck and don't care about screwing someone. It makes it hard to sell stuff also, I hate dealing with those that want to try to get something for nothing.

Sorry to hear about this Tom. hopefully you can get it cleared up and get what you wanted in the car. Looking forward to hearing about your SC setup.

Yes it would. I found his threat to be funny.

MYSCZ06 · 10-28-2009, 8:01am

Seems like this guy could make life easier and refund you and be done with it..admit he didnt relaly know wtf he was selling!

tomurphjr · 10-28-2009, 11:49am

From my understanding, the thread is all over the net.

I had one guy PM this morning with a link to a thread where this guys has the same yank converter for sale. Some guy on that site asked him if it was the same converter he scammed me out of on ls1tech....lol. He hasn't responded.

thegreenman · 10-28-2009, 12:00pm

That is good to hear, maybe he won't be able to scam anyone else.

From my understanding, his reputation is ruined. That even some of his local crowd won't have anything to do with him.

Wouldn't suprise me if you don't get some $$$ back soon........

MYSCZ06 · 10-29-2009, 12:27am

me either, but probably wont help him either way he took waaay to long to fix anything and he is a proven liar...

nedih rotaredom · 10-29-2009, 6:12am

Yepper...........BUT, he dug his own hole and put it in black & white

tomurphjr · 10-29-2009, 7:03am

I'm not expecting any money from this guy. Especially since it's gone this long and this far.

DropTheTop · 10-29-2009, 10:01am

Just got done reading the whole thing - what a douche! He just doesn't get it.

Hope you get this resolved, that's some decent mod money right there!

If anyone Googles the sellers name they will see plenty of bad threads, keep it up.
