Buyer Beware!

Jim Harris is a nice guy, I've bought parts from him before and he shipped them right away. I'd not be so quick to condemn....are you sure he even got your messages?

Jim Harris did OK by me. I received a sliding cover for my CE. It was in excellent condition and the price was fair.

Oh he got the message alright, He gave the lug bolts I returned for credit a coat of silver paint, and said how perfect they were. They were not. Still no return of my payment and no lug bolts. Great guy.

i guess seeing his name on this forum stimulated his integrity. Recieved my money back this week. Still gunshy.

I have done numerous transactions with Hogweed and daw_two. Both are highly recommended.

I have bought things from Jim Harris at least three times...always have been satisfied. I have met him and exchanged the parts for money or he has delivered them to a friend in W lafayette.

I agree with the above comment. CTH350 has helped me on many occasions and it's always been positive.

I sold a pair of 116 rear tails,like new[20$ each] to a man on ebay. he payed for item and shipping. I found a cheaper price to shipp. So I emailed him told him. That I had got a better price[my faught for beening honst] and I did not have a paypal acount then, any way I left him good feedback, on the 5th day I sent money. He email me on the 6th day and gave me a real bad feedback and said I was a crock, I refused to give him a refund for the parts and the parts where unuseable, [even thought I had a email from him saying how greet they where]. But you cann"t do anything for slander so If you do that who is going to be the judge. I had all the email he had emailed me throught ebay never asking for a refund,everything he said was a lie. So again not beening smart but who will be the judge to make rulling on a case.

The thread is just sad. Can't understand how people like that exist.

I have bought stuff from Sev a number of times, here and on EBay. He has never cheated me and has been quick to apologize and refund my money when he can't follow through. I wouldn't be too quick to buy these sketchy vague accusations.

I would have to second this. I have bought from him at least three times off eBay and have had no problems, though his packing leaves something to be desired.

I would not puchase any more items from d71889b. He did not follow through with my order. It was shipped missing parts which he promised to send but did not. He doesn't seem to put much importance on tidy completion of transactions.

I would have posted to the original parts thread but it has been closed. Another member had some trouble also as posted in this thread.

Also I found out Paypal doesn't care if you actually get the items you pay for, only that you got a package shipped to you. Odd.
