That sucks. You should be able to get $30-40 scrap value for it, I would suspect.

True. Old junk heads are a great weld fixture for manifolds too. Keeps the head flange pretty damn straight. Cheaper & easier than paying a machinist to machine a bunch off to get a flange flat after the fact. Just trying to help you target a market :dunno:

I just gave him negative feedback here on MT. Of course, that means he will probably give me negative feedback as well. Such is life.

Get on the PHONE with PayPal, show them this thread.

There's no way in hell you should be on the receiving end of this garbage.

How the ---- does Paypal know what condition the head was in before it was sent? They don't. They're just being ------- ignorant because they're Paypal.


PS: I might want the lifters.

I've let thomas18a know that by 7pm tonight he will have either contacted the buyer to initiate a resolution or be permabanned.

I have a buddy living in pamona, if you need assistance.

You did provide photographic evidence of you damaging that aluminum wall on the head as well as admitted to it within this thread, Frank.

You got screwed, but that's standard (BS) Paypal policy :(.

That was seller, not Frank, which is also why Paypal is ------- retarded.

Reading fail. That was the OP.

Holy cow, yeah. I just double checked posters, you are right.

Eff that, scammer is scammer.

"Case Update:

PayPal boned me.

Quote from Paypal:
"After careful consideration, we're unable to decide this claim in your favor at this time.

The item is not in the same condition as when you received it."

Arghhhh! Seems like they are claiming that I did this damage somehow? What a bunch of morons! "

That is complete bullshit!

did you use your credit card or pay through a bank transfer? if CC, you could file a dispute with them too. Not sure about it if you did a paypal direct withdrawal

Is the seller banned yet?

Yes. Permanently. (I gave him the benefit of the doubt and waited until 7pm Pacific time, as I was not specific about the time zone in my original email to him.)

Frank'n'Beans, if you still with to pursue contacting thomas18a directly, the email address he used to register from is chunyuen.wong@laverne.edu. I've also removed his feedback to you.

Thank you!!!!

I HATE people like this.

The university his email was from, if it were to find out about this, would be extremely angry with him.

Based upon quick research, possibly removal from the university angry. Just a route to remember to pursue if it comes to that Frank. Scamming someone from an @*.edu email is completely retarded if you are affiliated with that organization in any way, shape, or form.

I'm sure that email address is getting signed up to lots of interesting things...

I'd say drop the email on 4chan.org/b and see what happens to him.

NOT your personal army, etc

And his IP address as well...

96.229.174.26

Yeah I did ban this buck futter on CR.net
