Date of Transaction: 3/29/09
Feedback: Negative
Comments: Nozzles advertised as used Bosio Sprint 520's. Purchased and installed (balanced by 3rd party). Removed and inspected by 4th party who confirmed they were Chinese knock offs. Matthew was notified of the error and refused to refund money.

will add other transactions after I find the threads.

 

[CGDoig]

I bought from Blizzard60
Date of Transaction: 2011/07/16
Feedback: Positive
Comments: We had agreed that he would ship the items to me even though his thread stated he wouldn't ship. Things fell through, hard item to box up and he was very prompt to inform me of the decision. We agreed to meet out of his way while I was passing through the city. Met up for a smooth transaction with said parts exactly as described. Would do business again any day.

[OlyTDI]

I bought a Yakima roof rack from 2002TDI http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=324983&highlight=yakima
Date of Transaction: July 27th, 2011
Feedback: Negative
Comments: Purchased this for $130. Stated it would be shipped the next night (see ad). Then when he actually priced shipping he told me a week later to send more money or he'd give a refund (which I wish I had done). He didn't ship for two weeks and only after I'd paid more for it than he advertised shipped. Received it around the 16th of Aug. Condition is pitiful. Rusted out towers and hardware, pads all will have to be replaced, bars with splits and rust in numerous places. Fairing is usable. Basically, I paid $140 for usable clips and fairing, and useable but beatup bars. Buyer beware. He did offer refund when jacking the price and he did respond to all pms albeit sometimes a day or two later.

Situation resolved, received my money back from KRDmachinefabrication tonight.

 

[mogly]

I bought from: badgwag
Date of Transaction: September 2, 2011
Feedback: Negative
Comments:
Bought a set of Blizzaks with "3K miles" on them. Paid for them and then he emails me stating the exact same thing that shipping is $20 more per tire but he'll split the additional cost at $40 for each of us. I've already paid for the tires and he claimed to have shipped them already so I paid him the additional funds, begrudgingly. What shows up? Two tires with 10/32nds and two tires with 4/32nds - so the last two are at 25% of their tread, in other words junk. I ask him to refund me 50% 12 days ago and nothing. I've opened a dispute with paypal. Do not buy from this fellow- NOT TRUSTWORTHY. 1st time getting burned by a veteran on this forum. BUYER BEWARE

Agree with above.

I bought from: badgwag
Date of Transaction: October - mid-February of 2011
Feedback: Negative
Comments: The transaction involving one item started in late September 2010 and continued until at least mid-February via PM. I feel certain we continued to discuss the issue via e-mail. Communication wasn't up to par. Part of a transaction was delayed and when it come, it was not what I requested. I had requested a banjo pressure fitting on the ALH power steering pump. The item was discussed in all those PMs. I finally got the bolt that holds it on. I did get a skimpy partial refund. Also, one item did not work (clutch switch) but I was pleased to get the connectors with pig-tail and never pursued any further!
