Drag III kit for SOHCs, brand new for 1400 shipped?
Going for $1,000 right now, what do you guys think? This is too good to pass up, but I'm afraid it might be too good to be true.

Ask him if he will ship C.O.D.

ZERO feedback. I dont care how much it costs.. I NEVER buy things from sellers with 0 feedback. Thats how I got ripped off for $250 on a ps2. I've seen badass deals like that on ebay but once I see the seller has no feedback, I turn around and never look back.

Very true, but it wouln't hurt to ask for a c.o.d., that way if it sucks you don't have to pay. Just email him your offer and see what he says.

I doubt he will do it but who knows.

I live 6 hours from TO so I ask if I could come pick it up!!!
and what do you think he answered??? um no i will only ship....LOL

What a moron, he should leave the title 'Im gonna rip you off"

I wanna beat his face in!

Of course shipping is going to be free, since he's not going to be shipping anything.

baphomet

isn't there anyway to crack down on this sort of ****?

i really doubt anyone could afford to sell a drag turbo kit for 1400

free shipping is just a lure

rbf351

yeah the price is very strange, since i did sell mine at 2700 with a **** load of extras

silverEH2

yes at 2700 i see where free shipping comes into play

International warranty? LOL

Seriously, if anyone wants a DRAG Gen 3 or Gen 4 turbo kit give me a hollar. We will beat any price from any dealer, gauranteed. We are the largest DRAG distributor in the country so can offer a lot of extras you can't get anywhere else including a lifetime warranty on the manifolds.

JohnysZC

sounds like a serious seller lugging a Drag Kit all the way to England, LOL, what an idiot, I feel sorry for the person who falls for it.

i'll have a cousin that lives near there, i'll have him email him to verify it too.

COD means Cash On Delivery. So you have to pay as soon as you take the package into your possession. You don't get to open it first.

A safer route would be to use an Escrow service. The service is the middle man. You pay the service for the auction. They inform seller to ship item. You confirm receipt and get ~48hrs to accept/deny the item. If you accept, they send payment to seller. If you deny, then you work out shipment back to seller.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a high dollar item from someone with 0 feedback.

Also, this guy isn't even in the US, so good luck trying to press charges.

That's not true, not with USPS anyway. When server sold me his intercooler, he sent it COD and the post office let me open it and make sure everything was there before i paid. COD

0 feedback, screw that man...not worth losing a grand over!

i think you guys can report this to DRAG and see if he is a authorized dealer or something like that...

IF he is only selling ONE kit, then you can't do that...

but i bet that is a scam !!

Crazy Cooter

I sent a request to Western Union and Yahoo (his email account is there) to watch for a possible scam here. I'm not touching this offer because it looks <U>bad!</U> If someone could also get in contact with ebay, it would be nice. Here's what I sent out:

I am a member of a discussion group of auto enthusiasts (www.honda-tech.com). One of the other members has found an ebay offering (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=1255) at a tremendous savings. It aroused the suspicions of several members on this thread (https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=509919) and the seller is giving conflicting information about his location and wants funds wired via western union before shipping anything. The email address he is using is unde55@yahoo.com. We, as a group, feel as though this is a scam in progress and request your help in protecting whoever is about to become victim. Hopefully by notifying you in advance, additional information can be accumulated and expediate any resolution that may be forthcoming with this individual. Here is the name and address he is requesting payment to:
Name:GRAZIOLI ANTONIO
Address:682 CRANBROOK RD.
City:LONDON
Zipcode:IG6 1HN
Country:ENGLAND
