I got my 212/218 comp cam in, .522/.529 lift, anyway
it was an ebay auction i won, he said its new in box, when i opened it...






It look used? I contacted the seller and he said he never opened it, so i called comp up to ask them about the serial number on the cam and it does not match anything that they have, so its not a comp cam.

The seller will take a refund, but i wanted to ask if any if you guys have a 212/218 cam to compare with mine. on the back of the camshaft it has the number:
0965
4 13
8121

so im pretty sure ill send it back to him and get a refund.

 

yet another reason not to buy cams off of ebay, learn people. i got my stock cam laying around, maybe i'll sell it off to someone as a tr224

 

Dude, that is a used stock cam. You got ripped.

 

LOL, Yep, stock. What he hit yor for it?

 

Stock ls1 cam?

He nailed me for 282 bucks

 

buying a used cam from someone you dont know or dont know their reputation isnt too bright

 

Damn dude you should of bought mine (same cam and 918's) for $250. $34 bucks cheaper and you could of came over to my house and picked it up........ Soryy man

yea kyle i didnt have the cash at the time. but i thought it was NEW cam, it was 262 + 20 shipping,

this dude better refund my money

 

his rating is 402, with 3 negative

 

damn, maybe he got scammed first

 

Well, if he'll do a refund- then obviously he isn't a bad guy as long as that goes through smoothly. He probably got scammed himself and didn't know the difference. Lots of people sell car parts they don't know jack about.

 

and beyond put the cam on a cam doctor theres no way to tell what it is. cams are not something that should be bought "new" without a cam card, verified serial number, or any other identifying marks.

 

I would'nt even think about buying a used cam. For the extra few bucks u might as well but it new.

 

it was listed as NEW IN BOX, NEVER OPENED.

pretty much said it was new

 

Well said,

 

simple way to avoid problems with "new" cams, ask the seller to open the box up and post pics of the cam card, serial number, ect. then you could of called up comps and found out if indeed it was one of there cams and if it was then place your bid. and if it wasnt one of theres like you found out you could of reported it so that no one else gets taken.

now your stuck with a stock cam and the hope that the guy refunds the money. i hope it turns out good for you.

 

I'm sure your not going to get stuck with the cam. Most people are pretty good on ebay. They might have sent out the wrong cam too. Even some perfomance shops screw up and send out the wrong cam sometimes.

 

He's complying so far, ill just buy a new cam from a sponsor or somthing, thanks guys

 

He refunded me my money.

He never denied trying to rip me off, but i thanked him anyway for paypaling me my money back, + 14.95 to ship the cam back.

Phewww.. close one batman.

 

yeah it was undeniably a stock cam, i have 40 of thosethings, the upc code looking deal is GM
