Anyone have injectors cleaned by buyabsellonebay recently?

Update: I received the injectors. Life gets busy sometimes. Thanks all - Tad

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sent a set up before Christmas and I can't seem to get him to send them back to me. Has anyone else been getting a response or tried (and succeeded?) to have a set cleaned by him?

Thanks,
Tad

ouch..thats a bummer to hear......as bad as getting a bad set back when you had a decent set sent out. Hope you hear something good soon...don't hesitate to file with ebay before your 30 days are up if its related to ebay in any way...

I think it could've been a scam and he may have stolen them. Report to E-BAY at once!

Yea, this is a guy who is listed in one of the stickey's on this site, not an ebay member. I had another set cleaned by him and they arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I guess nobody else has had any contact with him recently.

Maybe I'll get lucky.

Well, he has not been on the board since January 1, 2006.

Therefore, if you used PM's to contact him, there could be no response.

I sent him an e-mail. Hopefully he's OK and will respond. From my dealings with him, he seems like a stand-up fellow. Probably just got too busy and forgot about them.

Hopefully my emails have been going into his spam folder and yours will make it. I hadn't sent a PM since DEC. Thanks for checking for me.

That's not a good sign.

Do you have his mailing address? If so, I'd drop him a letter PDQ. I might have it somewhere.

I should have been clear. I've emailed him several times since then. Good idea on the letter. I'll do that.

Oh, you were quite clear. That's the reason for the and the statement that "that's not a good sign".

If he doesn't get the e-mail, it doesn't look all that great for getting them back.

Funny this came up because I sent him an email about a week ago and didn't get a response back. Good luck getting your set back.

Maybe he is sick. Or dead.

I have the same problem with someone else on this board I sent a set of injectors to rebuild. I was told he was reliable, but can't get return communication. I am out two sets of injectors I mailed. I hate to mention who it is but how long is long enough???
