A month ago i bought a Rotora big brake kit from Marvin619 aka Marvin Viernes he had for sale on HT: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=955038

He got a $230 down payment on 08/20 and $585 some days later so $815 in total.

I will be very honest with you. For the past 4-5 days Rotora contacted me about the big brake kit they sponsored me this year. One of the workers goes on honda-tech.com and found the thread that the brakes have been sold to you. Now I am in a battle with Rotora demanding for the brakes back because I did not fulfill my one year contract with them. As a result I have no choice but to give me the big brake kit and avoid being sued for the msrp of the big brake kit $1800.00. I have already purchased a stock calipers and rotors and have already lost $150.00. To fix this I will give you 100% refund through paypal, but it will take me a 2 payments within a two week period to pay you off. I do not want you think I am scamming you, but I understand the amount of money involvled. If you dont believe I can scan you a copy of the contract between Rotora and I. I will give you my full address and full name so you have all my information. Give me a call anytime. My first payment will be on Monday the 13th, and will be paid in full on the 20th. I am so sorry for this...I tried everything to avoid a lawsuit and never would have thought Rotora would find out. Please get in contact with me...I feel so bad.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I agreed that he can refund me 100% on Monday the 13th and he promised to do so. But i got only the $230 back and i'm wainting another 11 days for my $585 now.

I emailed him Monday and Tuesday and told him that this is his last chance before i file a complaint at PayPal and post it on HT. I even agreed yesterday that he can send me a $200 down payment and the rest some days later. But you guess it, i got nothing.

If you read this Marvin, SEND ME MY $585 back!

 

good luck to you man, but i think his trying his best. Give him a lil more time. But don't be like that other guy on H-T. If everyone still remebers that thread and it's still going on. He got scammed for his ZC engine $900. the scammers name was Bernie i think lol. so good luck.

If he can buy all this stuff i am sure he could also refund me.
He has no money to refund me, but has "cash right now" and can "pay asap"?

I thought too that he is trying his best, but this is going on a month now.

i dealt with marvin once before, he recently bought my ls rims for his gf...and seems like he's selling off his show car in the classifieds...so i'd try again to reach him and see what happens. seemed like a nice guy..but dont know him beyond that...so good luck!

 

Bump because he still owes me $385 and still sells parts on HT.
