Default New eBay seller LEGIT? $1600 GReddy Kit & $1700 Drag Kits NIB?

Saw this on eBay & the seller is selling these kits for alot of different applications. He has 0 feedback.

I was just wondering how he is able to sell the GReddy kits for $1600 with only $70 shipping when City-Speed is selling them for $2184.34 shipped?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

The drag kits are going for $1770 shipped? Other auctions have them for $2600 shipped.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1


What is up with the cheap prices? I want one for that price.

I'd stay away from it, the price is "too" low. I can buy Greddy at "dealer" costs and know that s too low. Plus 0 feedbacks. It just looks suspect.

every person on ebay @ one point started with zero feedback. I think if you do try it use a credit card and go through paypal. Atleast then if something goes wrong you got some sort of protection. And if there is no problem you just got a crazy deal......

I constantly look for deals all over the internet. Today i've searched for 5 hours so far & I ran across this in no time. Im going to wait to see what kind of feedback he gets...but also be aware of the feedback of the buyers as well. Who knows... if its a scammer, he may just be trying to 'up' his positive feedback.. Get it?

Find out where he is located and say you want to pick the kit up. See what he says to that.

Sorry guys, don't waste your time, I can't believe Ebay allows this crap. Bottom line, I know people that are at the DEEPEST discount level that Drag gives, and it is no where close to $1700.

Ive used Pay Pal and Bought an MSD 7al from some guy in New Jersey who never shipped my package and I lost $150..... Pay Pal can only refund your money if thte guy has money on In his Pay Pal account if not they cant and wont refund your money.... Once the Guy closes his bank account after he takes your money what can Pay Pal do for you but say sorry.... Ive lost a total of $350 threw Pay Pal and the members had more than 10 feed backs...... Pay Pal Sucks

damn man that sucks, theres some useful info in this thread. This will help protect would be buyer's, but really guys we need to be more cautions and protect ourselves from this pus that wants to steal our tuner money. I really didn't know paypal did nothing to help. Does this also apply to the accounts you pay to have the security protection on?

Try loosing $1200 like I did. I shipped my old JRSC to a guy in Hawaii with confirmation that said it made it there. A few weeks later I get an email saying he never got it and his wife wanted to file a complaint. Long story short, paypal didn't do squat even though I had everything on my end proving it was shipped. Had to pay the $$ back and hadn't seen the JRSC since. I still have the tracking slip in my wallet from 3 years ago...if I ever go to Hawaii, I'll be taking a trip to that address.
The ebay fraud works both ways, I wouldn't buy or sell to anyone with 0 feedback

If your talking about the GReddy kit, everybody knows it doesnt come with an intercooler. That is a seperate option. You must be blind as a bat son, the 310 injectors are clearly shown in the picture along with the blue box.
