Quick feedback for a couple members: (I'm sure you already have plenty of good feedback, but it can't hurt.)

Votblindub: Good guy, tried to help me out. Had an issue with used kinda mystery parts, not sellers fault and he took care of it in a fair manner and then some. Thank You again.
SandbaggerOne: Just received your bug EGR cooler. It looks better/cleaner than expected. No hassle, expect 0 issues. Well packaged and shipped quick. Thank you!

Wrong section. There's a for sale section for vehicles. This is just feedback. Maybe the mods can move it for you.
Also, list more things and add pictures in the ad.

For anyone looking to replace a failed RCD-510 radio for way cheaper than going to a dealer, I will echo others on here and say BarryT82 is great to work with. Made the process smooth and easy, with lots of options and great communication.

Dillinger1 has stuff for sale and when you say you want it he waits a day to tell you it's sold.

soon to be 82 Vanagon TDI
Was looking for some AHU injection lines, a new member, Julius Clack suggested I contact David Martin (davidmartin15345@gmail.com) who is here in Texas where I am. I have not been able to verify if he is a TDI club member, but I believe the the Julius Clack persona may actually be him. Anyway, we settled on the price for the lines, then he came back and wanted $100 more for "shipping". I refused and told him we had agreed on a price and I paid him (NEVER, NEVER use CASH APP, you have been warned) Eventually I agreed to pay him $30 for shipping. Now he refuses to return emails and I am out $150 and no way to recover it. If any one knows this guy or has information to his actual whereabouts, please contact me at dieseltdi@verizon.net. Thanks.

I bought a pair of Mk4 rear wiper motors from Lex4TDI4Life.

Great communication, fair price, no hassles. Would happily deal again!

PS: I guess I've never posted in this thread before. I bought an IP from Dankcorey22 a decade ago. That went smoothly too!

Bought a stage two (allegedly) sbc clutch from 97caron. It came and looked like it had been quite rusty, then was wire brushed to make it look halfway nice. It didn't look extremely worn or anything, just rusty. Then I went to install it, and found that the bolts he sent with it were the wrong ones. I had to get other bolts. I then realized that he's only on the classifieds, selling parts. Which makes me think that he's a junk yard or something like that. According to the rules here, that would be considered stealth vending?
I would say it would be a mixed review, buyer beware...

Bought a clutch and pet barrier from club member Torman last month. No complaints on the clutch , i used it for my 5 speed swap and that saved me over 150 bucks. Pet barrier came with wrong brackets for the car and he provided a partial refund. Buy from him with confidence

Bought a BRM intake manifold for a project car from maken03 (Mike).
All his communications were prompt and direct, good clear pic and description of the part, and he packed it well and shipped it expeditiously.
I would not hesitate to do business with him again.
Thanks very much Mike!

Sold a VCDS Pro HexNet Wifi/USB Unl VIN and a Garrett VNT15/17 for ALH, and a Pierburg N75 for ALH
Buyer is user super1 who was patient with the whole process while I worked out how to make it happen.

I appreciate the insight provided by RexNICO about his prior buying/selling and his experience with super1. Personal anecdotes count a lot.

I acknowledge the contributions of the other users and appreciate all the useful things I learned over the years on these forums at tdiclub. It helped me take good care of my cars.

I shipped it all this morning. Y'all have fun.

Please report stealth vending right away. Club members deserve to know what kind of entity they are engaging in transactions with.

I have been scammed by a person claiming to be Sam Wade and was told about him by MikeRodg who told me he had bought parts from Sam that were excellent quality , now I realise I was being set up for the scam . I have filed a complaint with Paypal but I would warn anyone that if you ask to buy any particular part you may be setup by an other who has scanned the posts and will offer the part then rip you off.

Report him
Beware of any people saying that this or that person who is not on the club has what you're looking for.

Also, be suspicious of someone that joined the club three or four weeks ago and have no activity other than selling! You can hoover your cursor over their name and see lots of info about them.

I also was tried to be scammed by this account and I reported it by clicking on the report button.
