Didn't read that far. And, Lance is a dick, I mostly ignore him.

Those fuckers deleted my response. And it was *REALLY* clever, too.

Pen2_the_penguin 11-19-2013 01:31 PM

I was wondering if Joe replied or not...

i can contest to that

"attest"?

Or if "contest", was there a clear winner?

"weiner"

Aww, its still there. I thought for sure they would remove it, so I took a screenshot as soon as I saw it.

I message the guy and offer him $15,000 for it since it'll cost me $1500 to truck it home, he responds and tells me he's already accepted a local deal and is just waiting for the check to clear.

That seems sort of fucked up to me. Am I wrong? If the auction is still up and I go ahead and use the Buy It Now option at $15,500 isn't he obligated to sell the car to me? Is my understanding of eBay wrong, or am I just a douche with a sense of entitlement?

You can file a claim against him, but it really doesn't hurt the seller. It goes both ways. I've had people buy things from me and then not pay, saying they bid on multiple items and got it for cheaper. All I could do is file a non-paying bidder claim and it just records it on their profile. Then I had to go through the hassle of listing it again, and getting my fees back from ebay. That place is such a scam.

Joe Perez 11-19-2013 03:37 PM

Well, that's weird. For a while I couldn't see it, now it's back.

Database hiccup much, Gary?

Pen2_the_penguin 11-19-2013 04:44 PM

I see it now

? Looks like a simple data error somewhere along the line. That is if you are referring to the Memphis hiccup mid way. No way it could have made that trip in that time, or in one flight.

FRT_Fun 11-20-2013 07:20 AM

Not really the Memphis thing.. but the fact that it was $26 for the item + shipping to go from Taiwan to the US. It's a pretty large box too. The coolant spacer I shipped the other day was $20, and is much smaller than what this box will be, and is going from AZ to TX.

Question for you 1.6 peasants.

A friend bought a kit that includes a megasquirt, but he is clueless when it comes to them. From what I gathered, it just has a harness with a bunch of wires coming out, so I assume it's not an MSPNP.

I'm looking for the ECU connector for the early NAs so I can just wire it up to that and make it a PNP. Can anyone with a 1.6 confirm for me that this is the connector?

I got a lawyer, don't worry, and I don't talk to police.

Awesome, thanks Brain. Figures the m.net threads from 2007 wouldn't have any mention of that since the MSPNP1 was the shit back then.
