Just thought I'd give an FYI to anyone out there who might have had similar dealings but didn't voice them with user Gourley.

Bought a JDM SRS MOMO wheel that was FUBAR but advertised as 8/10 condition with a slight gap at the airbag to wheel.

Read the thread to see what I got

Mods: posted here because its an ITR part and this is the forum I normally only post in.

B*a*n*n*e*d

 

F**king shady people. How hard is it to be honest and list an item in the condition it is ACTUALLY in?

 

Sorry to see it dude. That is a crummy situation. He probably got the nice pictures from eBay or something.

 

What a piece of ****. No wonder I don't buy outside the "community"

 

Those are the actual pictures of the wheel. I'm the one who sold Gourley the wheel and all that damage was not there when I sold it to him.

It looks like all the damage accrued during the shipping, except for the broken wire which was most likely done when he installed it.

 

Wow, I know that guy. Basically lives down the road from me.

 

i think HT is to PC for the ideas i have; like posting his address, phone number, pictures of his house etc.

 

This dispute was brought to the mods' attention and after reviewing all the correspondence between the two parties, at least 3 mods all thought that the seller's story didn't add up.

Description
The description was clearly a false advertisement. That wear was no where close to being "light wear". The outer skin was completely gone.

Insurance
The item was not insured full value even though Mike M had requested it. He said that the item could not be insured. He added that if you've ever used UPS you would know that item like that could not be insured full value. (huh?)

Packaging
He said he had nothing to do with the poor packaging because the store required that the packaging to be done by them in order to qualify for additional insurance (in addition to the basic $100).

Ok now, reportedly, the store DID repackage the item (and poorly too), but where is the insurance that the buyer could claim?

Things just didn't make sense at all.... It's sad to see people failed to act like a responsible adult.

 

Sorry to hear Mike. Another fine example of the people we have selling used parts. Not your fault, you took all the precautions necessary to avoid this type of thing.

One more reason i shop BlueR only!

 

Its too bad people have to do things like that...

 

Sorry to hear man. Pics OP posted were definitely not the same wheel you bought.

 

been looking for one of those for weeks but this is why i haven't decide ... Sorry to hear this **** happens

 

I often get comments that it was better than described for this reason. I generally look at anything I'm selling more harshly than most buyers do.

 

Scammers.

 

OMG WTF?? Every single day people are doing shady sh*t.

Sorry to hear you got ripped man.

 

UPS and FedEx both have requirements for insurance that whatever you are shipping isn't moving around and is properly padded and secured in a box.

If you package it properly yourself, they shouldn't require a re-packing for insurance, but you can bet they will inspect it to make sure they aren't likely to have a claim by the time it's delivered.

 

that sucks Mike; Karma's a bitch though...

 

That's not what Wai said. According to Wai, the seller said that UPS wouldn't insure a used steering wheel at it's purchase price. In reality, UPS will put any level of insurance you want on anything, they just require proof of value when you make a claim, something that is easy to do (paypal receipt for example).

If that was UPS's repackaging work (Wai said they repackaged it, but I didn't think they did based on what Mike said) then I'd really love to see the sellers packaging if UPS considered that to be an improvement

 

What goes around comes around.
A ****ing SCAMMER

 

now he's on nwp4life... couldnt find you there mike but ive let others know on that board.

trying to buy some spoon ****. scroll toward the bottom.

I saw the wheel before it was shipped out and it was 8/10 condition, as originally stated.

 

I'm sorry you don't understand the rating system but the higher the number is the Nicer it is, so you mean 2/10. If it was just the gap, LIKE IT WAS ADVERTISED AS, then it would be 7-8/10 but with the heavy wear on the grip that alone would make it 4-5/10 but not only was there all that BS but all the cuts and the cut wires this thing was 2/10 at best.

 

Address please?

That it is, I'm going to take your reccomendation on the matter.



The Seller, Gourley, gave all sorts of stories He packaged it, UPS redid it, etc etc.
I spoke to the owner of the UPS store that it was shipped from and he had the reciept on file and said that Gourley came in with the box packaged as shown in my pics and shipped it as is, they told him they would not insure it as it was packaged incorrectly (needed to be in a proper box, wrapped in bubble wrap and filled with packing material) he said to them he did not want to pay to have it repacked and insured and sent it as it was without insurance, he did not even fill in the section for what the value of the item was.
