Default User: *** GDBY2U *** Bad Seller-DO NOT BUY!

I have been in a dispute with user GDBY2U for a while now. I purchased a set of anthracite TTM's from him with Goodyear F1 tires. The wheels and tires were described in great condition and he said there were no curb checks or rash on the rims anywhere. He also stated the tires were in great shape and had nothing wrong with them. I stressed to him "GDBY2U" the importance that all these tires/rims be in great shape and he assured me they were "like new". He sent me several pictures of the rims but they were too far away for me to see that anything was wrong with the rims/tires. When I recieved these I quickly noticed that I had been screwed. Only one rim and one tire were actually as described. The other three tires and rims all had major flaws on them. The front drivers wheel/tires are as described and in good shape. Here are the rest of the rims//tires
1. Front passenger: Tire in completely worn down on the very inside and has absolutely no tread on it at all. The rim also has curb rash around the entire rim. About 95% of the front rim has moderate curb rash around the enitire lip.


Below is how the inside of the tire should look





2. Rear Driver: Rim is in decent shape with only small knicks in it. The tire has major cuts in it all along the bead of the rim. There is about 3 spots where chuncks of rubber is missing right where the tire meets with the rim.




3. Rear Passenger: Rims has a few knicks and spots on it. The tire is also cut around the entire circumfrance of it. The cut goes around the entire tire and there are several spots where the rubber has come off. This is a fairly deep cut.





Below is one of many Private messages where we discuss the transaction

Told me that the tracking number would be valid on Saturday. Here it is Monday and it is still not valid. I only wish that I had reviewed his previous negative seller comments before I bought from him.

Thats how he got me. I saw his 47 trader rating and thought he must be a good buyer/seller. I was dead wrong. It even took him 5 days longer to get me a tracking number than what he had said.

I saw 2 negative transaction on him and 45 good ones, so I figured it was just a small mishap. I know now that this guy is a fraud and has done this to many people. I am out $950 and have a shitty set of wheels/tires!

All transactions are being closely monitored.

Banning is not a good option as a banned member cannot reply to posts, pm or linked email from their profile which leaves other buyers with limited communication and seller unable to update.

Well Considering You Only Payed $700 For The Wheels And Tires After Shipping... If You Were To Buy Them New The Price Would Be Much Greater....The Wheels Alone Are $700 And Those Tires New Are $1000.. So $1700 Before Shipping.... Wow Talk About Your Savings!!! And I Sent You Pic's Of The Rims and Tires And There Was No Dought Then.... But Now There Is.... I Did Agree To Replace One Rim And One Tire(Right Front) But Now You Being An A**.......Anyway You Will Get Your Rim And Tire.... So Thank For The Dirty Flag To Start With!!!! Awsome!!! Good Day To Ya!!! And Just For The Record>>>>>>>> I Waited A Year For A Reund On A Part I Never Received From A Buyer On Here And Got It After That And I Was This Much Of A Pain About It!!! And The Amount Was Just has Much!!!! Some Of Us Have More Control Than Others I Guess....

It doesn't matter how much I paid for them. The fact is that we worked a deal, $950 shipped to my door in great shape and no curb rash. I sent you the $950 as I said i would and you sent me 4 shitty wheels and 4 shitty tires. I held up on my end and you didn't. I could care less what happened to you in one of your tracations, we are here talking about OUR transaction! There is no way in hell this is my fault! You screwed up and now you need to fix it! Look at the pictures above, you would have to be a complete dumbass to say they are in great shape and like new. Are you blind!!!

hopefully lesson learned though...always get as many pictures as possible, especially close-ups because every now and then you'll run into someone like this just looking to rip you off.

As soon as I have a new tire and wheel sitting on my front porch in good condition, I will shut my mouth. Just so everyone knows, he has taken no action to resolve this, he has just "talked" about resolving this. I want to see a tracking number sitting in my PM box for a good condtion wheel and tire!
