WOW! JUST WOW! Check this message I just got from the Ebay seller:
Dear bbqb4racin,
We are terribly sorry to inform you - but during the Dis-assembling of the bike, a major component (part) of the bike broke. The packager was using too much force and the welding broke. We are deeply sorry for this, as we were trying to disassemble the bike to a small size for a safe delivery, but had this end result on the final part.
We have already promptly refunded your payment to us, Please check your Paypal Account to verify that the Refund is correctly reflected.
If there are any future purchases that you make through us, We'd like to give you a seller discount on that future purchase to fully resolve this horrible situation. We hate knowing that this transaction didn't complete successfully, and would like to make sure your next experience is a more positive one.
This sounds like total BS to me! The real problem here is I won the auction for $8.50! Shipping was $30 so I guess they didn't want to give it away. Well waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Anyway, I responded:
Please forward me some pics of the damage. I may still be interested because I rebuild these bikes. It may not concern me. Thanks. Rick
We'll see what happens. WTF?????
