Well, about a week ago, I bought a 99-00 Si Gauge cluster from user Albert who was selling for his friend Prelude1897. There was an accusation that Albert was a scammer, and it made me uneasy sending him/Prelude1897 160 dollars. Well, all went well and Albert gave me a valid tracking # and everything was all good.

Today the cluster arrived, and I saw a chip on the face of the gauge cluster.


It was not clearly seen on the picture he provided, but if you look hard enough, you can tell. He also said the cluster was mint.


Well, I was pretty disappointed when I got cluster and there was a big crack. I PM'd Albert thinking he was going to blow me off, or ignore me. However, that was not the case:

(9:35 PM 12/21/2004) SyDuck: hey the si cluster you send me has a crack on the fuel/temp gauges that the pics didnt show... http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/...ty=90 its not present there in the close up of the gauges, and you said it was mint.

(10:19 PM 12/21/2004) albert: sorry to hear that if you want ship it back and I can ship you one with I think 51,xxx miles on it

(10:20 PM 12/21/2004) albert: I'm really sorry I did'nt pay that close attention to it!!!
(10:40 PM 12/21/2004) albert: I just don't want any to be unsatisfied with my sales that's why I'm willing to send you my personal cluster.
(10:54 PM 12/21/2004) albert: pm prelude1897 he needs your onfo for paypal he will get you that money thenI'll pay him back then collect from my buddy I'm so sorry about that

basically, instead of hassling over shipping charges, we decided on $30 dollars over paypal. no longer than 10 minutes later, $30 dollars was in the paypal account. I was surprised with his customer service.. it was VERY VERY good.

Albert and Prelude1897 get from me, and i recommend them for the H-T's best sellers. I would not hesitate doing business with them again. Thanks.
