Post dreamls1

I bought a set of msd coils from dreamls1 for $410. he said that they only had 1k. so sure enuff I jamped on them. 1 1/2 or 2 weeks later I get them, so I opened the box. Just to find out that most of the coils had broken clips and one of them a broken piece of it. So I email him and told him what I just saw. And I knew it, He denieds it. He said that they got damage on shipping or tampered with. I didnt find any broken pieces inside the box, so USPS its out of this one. A set of MSD coils with 1k, wich I belive they were more like 40k or more on them. I know its hard to beat. So I didnt tampered with them.

I alleady opened a dispute with paypal, we will see the out come.

just a tip, if your doing a deal with him. Ask for good pictures I still think his a good guy. Just forgets to tell some things

It's still possible they were damaged in transit and it's a tough call on mileage of use. This is a perfect example of why I only ship insured. Good Luck!!!

Paypal, really sucks. They only care that the stuff got shipped, it doesnt matter to them were or who broke the stuff.

I really hope they start doing something better than that, or they might loose customers.

you think paypal is responsible? You guys need to do your homework. Why would you think that paypal would even be Intrested in doing anything other than a way to track and recieve payment.

First off when i sent out the coils there was NO broken parts! i told you this! They must have been broken in shipping. I offered to buy you 1 new coil if you sent me the broken one back. I have perfect feed back on this site on over 130 on ebay. It was damage in shipping or opened and tampered with. Like you said they do work 100% now if you would like to send that one coil that got a crack in back to me i will replace it even though it was not my fault. I would have not sold you anything that didnt work or was broken!!

Here is the lates update. So dreamls1 pm me, saying that he rather paypal me for the coil. So I told him that the coil cost $118 plus $11 shipping plus $11 to ship old coil back to him. A gand total of $140

So I told him since the broken coil its on working condition, just paypal me $75 and I'll fix the broken coil. And we call it a deal

And he responds, why would he paypal me $75 if the coil its in working condition

I respond back to him, OK so just buy the new coil then

He responds back, why would he buy a new coil if the old coil works

So I told him, read the hall thread we are talking about broken coils. I mention that they are in working condition.


never got a reply back from him, I have left 2 messages and nothing back from him. And he logs to the site very often

Sounds pretty shaky to me. If you send me money back I can use. What part of the coil is broke. If it works and you are going to use if he sends money why even bother. Can you see the broke piece in the picture where he posted the orig add.

you cant see the broken part on the orig sig, he has only one pic, one view.

I paid for 1k coils and trust me I spected like brand new coils. but thats me





ANY WAYS I'M HERE TO CLARIFY THAT DREAMLS1 REPLY BACK TO ME. HE SAYS THAT HES BEING OUT SICK. AND HIS BROTHER USES HIS ACCOUNT, THAT HIS NOT ABOIDING ME. THAT HE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT


And to every one in here, its always good to add insurance to the stuff you ship. you never going to know whats going to happend. and can avoid many things like this.

It will be hard for paypal to help because the transaction did not take place on ebay. If it would have you would win the dispute. I sell lots of parts on ebay and sometimes people are not happy or purchased the wrong part so they open a dispute saying it was not as described. I have only won one dispute. So for a buyer paypal is great for a seller it sucks
