Ok this is how it went... I posted up in the WTB that I was looking for a Nitro Daves intake and he replied to me that he was selling one. So we agreed on My LS6 Intake and $275 for his. He did me a huge favor which I really appreciate by sending me his first and me sending him my once it was off. But the only probablem is that my car got locked in the shop "A1 transmissions" here in McAllen, Texas because they went Bankrupt and it just so happened my car was locked inside for a week which lead to a delay from me sending him my intake. OK that passes or whatever but think bout this.... I reciev the intake in a big box and it come with the little EVAP canister or whatever it is and the Hose that goes to the Brake Booster But the Catch to this is that the back of the intake is not only cracked but to top it off the nipple that is connected on the back off the intake that goes to the intake was completely broken off. Remember mine being Perfect as it can be. K fine I take a little lose and just JB weld it and am hoping it dont leak in the long run. So know that I have my car back and the intakes swapped I have my wife pack everything and ship the intake because I have been workin like crazy but for some reason she doesnt put the hose and little canister. So this guy messages me that for me to send him his part that thats stealing this and that and I was Like WTF.... I told him I dunno what happen to it that they got missed placed cause it did but come on guys think bout it... Why would I need those parts if I have mine and if anythng I can get that hose at any AutoZone or hardware store. And as for the EVAP at any Junk yard. My question is why would you Ship those parts? Maybe he knew it was broken?.... K now at this point I am the bad guy and am stealing his parts but yet I offer him.... leave me good feedback and ill give you the parts OFF MY CAR AND I WILL LOOK FOR SOME LATER FOR ME. Cause come on guys who wants to get screwed twice... One with a broken intake and second with Bad feedback that I am getting for sure. Who do you all think is the bad guy? To be honest $275 and a $300 Intake is alot of money for a broken but fixed intake. Please let me know what you all think....

 

What do you all think bout wat this guy Danhr wrote...

 

The intake I sent to you was not cracked when I sent it to you.

It is obvious the damage was due to poor packaging

THE INTAKE YOU SENT ME IS BROKEN IN THE SAME SPOT, YOU DON'T SEE ME COMPLAINING.

All I want is my evap line and my vacuum line

And why would you THINK that you were getting a negative feedback UNLESS YOU THOUGHT YOU DESERVED ONE. EVEN THOUGH I SAID I WAS GOING TO LEAVE POSITIVE IF I GOT THE PARTS THAT BELONGED TO ME

I got ripped of PERIOD... $275 Paypal and a GOOD LS6 Intake for a Broken Intake

 

i just want to know why there are 2 threads on this? is it not enough that theres already a post thats dragging someones name throught the mud? it seems that both of you are negligant in some manner. stop spamming up the forum with your bitch fest and make a phone call. or spend the 20 bucks each that both of you need to spend to set the deal straight. be adults!

eightball? your take on this?

 

because after I made a thread, frankmarroquin felt the need to make one about me

the reason why i posted in this thread? out of frustration throughout this whole transaction. good point. i'll stick to my own thread

 

I made it clear I wasnt gonna get screwed twice but still did and im the bad guy...

 

I don't get it, why don't you just send him his parts back? He sent them by accident trying to get you your part asap. It should not be an issue for you to send them back. If you received his parts first, you should've known to send him the same parts back. If you swapped wheels with someone and they sent you lug nuts in the box, would you not send the lug nuts for your wheels to him?


The damage should be taken up with the shipping company, which is the responsibility of the shipper. If you were not happy fixing the intake and using it, you should have sent it back to him for a refund. It sucks that it was broken, but I don't see what this issue has to do with you sending his parts back. You agreed to fix it, which was generous on your part. Were you compensated for the damage at all? If not, perhaps that would be a possibility if you would be willing to help with an insurance claim.

This situation is perfectly salvageable if you both take a deep breath and calm down a little. Frank just needs to send over some parts, and danhr needs to file a shipping claim and send Frank some $$ to cover the lost value of the part. Getting into an e-pissing match won't get either of you any resolution.

 

^^^ i concur..............

 

His parts got misplaced somewhere and I told that I would ship him the parts off my car but for him to leave me feedback. This is the exact reason why... He would of got my parts if he wasn't so stubborn. But look how it ended up. I have a negative feedback.

 

And paying 275 plus a ls6 intake I consider whatever in the box mine... That's not cheap especially for a broken intake with no shipping insurance. I would of lost out either way...

 

The part that broke on the intake was easily fixable with a little JB weld. Frankmarroquin did it and said it worked fine. Obviously it is working fine because the car is his daily driver and hasn't said anything. I would of had no problem refunding the money and him sending back the intake if he was not satisfied. But after I told him how to fix it, he was content with the intake. If he wants me to pay for the cost of JB weld, the trip to the store, and the 5 minutes of labor applying the JB weld, I will be happy to do so. But I would like the same in return, as my intake is cracked as well.

If he wishes for me to pursue filing a claim with the Postal Service, I will be more than happy to do so (he never asked). I didn't think the intake, being broke where it was, was a big deal, because it was an easy 5 minute fix. If he does want me to do so, I would like him to file a claim for the cracked intake that I received.

I did not want to leave feedback for the transaction, prior to receiving the rest of my parts, because I knew if I did, it would take forever for frankmarroquin FOREVER to send them, as it took him ALMOST A MONTH to send me an intake. Had I received the parts, I would of left positive feedback, because I would of gotten what I wanted.

And no... that's not cheap for a money maker intake... but a money maker intake isn't cheap.

If frankmarroquin would of BEEN UPFRONT from the beginning and told me that his car was inaccessible and that he lost my parts, I would be more lenient on finding a solution to this ordeal. However, the only thing he did was ignore my PM's, and when he did respond, I constantly got "I will look into it" repeatedly.

 

Asking for feedback before a transaction is completed is totally unethical. That in itself could justify negative feedback. Looks like you were the one being stubborn about it.

 

Dude your full of **** I pmd you let you know what was the status and even till your last messages I got back to you as soon as I could. And my tranny is freakin broke that's why my car was locked in a bankrupt transmission shop. So to be honest I can't say it works or not but maybe if you knew how to read you would read that my car was down

 

You swapped an LS6 intake for another LS6 intake. If he included the hose and egr line on his, you should have either sent his back or included the fittings from your intake. You didn't "buy" his intake, you swapped. You owe him parts comparable to the ones he sent you, minus the upgrade you paid for.

You keep bringing up the fact that it was broken like you should get a medal for keeping it. You agreed to keep it and fix it, how does that entitle you to keep the extra parts?

 

It's funny. You say your car is "locked" in an transmission shop because you have a busted transmission.

So how were you able to get your intake off?

First the transmission shop was unlocked and you were able to swap intakes
Then it was locked and you can't swap the intakes
Then it was unlocked and you could swap the intakes
Then it is again locked and you can not see if the JB weld worked.

We both received broken intakes. All I want are the parts that I sent to you because I was in a hurry to get you your parts. I'll even retract my negative feedback and leave neutral feedback if you send me the parts now.

I don't think what I'm asking for is too much, and, not to be cocky, but it appears the general consensus is that most people are agreeing with me.

 

**** it everyone will have their own opinions and yes I want my Medal were is it broke bish... you gonna buy it? Dont think so.... and as for you Danhr you a ******* lieing loser but I guess whatever, What happened.... happened. Get over it tomarrows another days.

 

WOW...Spoken like a true scammer...send the guy back his stuff.

 

Actually can't agree with that! His story is actually true and he did get screwed by that transmission shop closing down when his car was there. Problem was just not good communication between both parties.

 

Care to explain? Not trying to come off as a smart ***, but I pm'd him with as much information as I could, as new events occurred. My pm's even went unanswered. If you could enlighten me on how I could have communicated more, maybe I could get a better understanding of this.
