DodgyRog Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Found out who he is on here so Beware http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/member.php?23728-spider2123 Well I am after sideskirts for my Supra as my Bomex copies need spraying anyway after recent events:rolleyes: So there were some OEM originals on Ebay last weekend so I bit the bullet and hit BuyItNow, even though they were over 200 miles away and were collection only. Well I sent a few mesages to the sellar and agreed a price for his Trail rear and Facelift headlights, indicators/sidelights with all wiring bulbs etc and planned on taking my tools with me to try and grab a few bargain bits like doorcards etc if they are in good nic I made the arrangements to drive up and collect them today. So I get up early today and get everything out of the wifes Corolla, including unbolting the front passenger seat, just to make sure I have room for everything. I make a flask of coffee, as I am going to be on the road for about 8 hours and set off, looking foward to getting the bits I need and a few extra's I have been hoping to land to re style my car totally and give it a more subtle look. Well after an hour driving, I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket (stereo blasting so can't hear it:innocent:) So I pull over at the next exit:innocent: to read a text from the seller apologising, but he has just sold the whole car to a friend, so I can't have any of the parts I was already on the way to get, to say I am peed off is a massive understatement, money is really tight at the moment and I had really over stretched to get these bits and even worse have wasted £40 of fuel and have absolutely nothing to show for it. This is actually the second time this has happened to me this year (2011), last time I drove all the way down to Callington to collect some Recaro's with Subframes, only to get there and the frames weren't from a Supra at all. Do people think I have money to throw away, it's bad enough that fuel is so expensive, but to be just wasting it for nothing is really annoying I really am fed up with Ebay right now, that's 3 different Ebayer's this year (2011) that have caused me problems it ridiculous To be honest life isn't great at the moment and to be stitched up again is really not helping me at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 good job you felt your phone then imagine getting all the way there to see no car sat there. Yeah Jen said that, he didn't even have the decency to phone just sent a text, he didn't pick it up for a while when I phoned him to tell him what I thought, I let it ring for about a minute before he answered. It's a real shame I would of had the Trd front, OEM sides and Trial rear, would of been spot on I think. The problem is Trial rears seem to be impossible to get anymore, well ones that fit anyway i had a bit of a shit day aswell.had to do some welding on a discovery agreed the price last week.But guy notices his boot floor needs doing aswell and asked for the total now.so he doesnt like the price and said not to actually do it.Bloody pain in the ass. Total pain in the arse mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Sorry to read that mate. Collection only is a laugh now, far cheaper to post a lot of the stuff we need. If you need a hand when you're up our way bud just drop us a line. Nowhere near the 4th March though. Big day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
