I have my integrity. I sent the guy multiple pictures utilizing different lighting to help him match it. Dirty 30+ Y/O carpet ain't going to be the same color as new.
The carpet in my 13' golf is already fading, and it's black. :rolleyes:

Trade backs... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat5.gif

Now the rest of the story.

I contacted this guy when I saw his ad posted. The picture looked more like linen than Tan. I compared the pic he texted me with my interior and it looked the same. I pulled a color sample from the Internet and texted it to him asking if it was Linen 698.

He responded yes that is it.

I told him I was interested but thought his price was a little high and asked him if he was interested in any trades.

We determined that he was interested in trading for a used set of Pagid Blacks that had 60-70% pad left. We agreed and we shipped to each other.

When he received the brake pads he wrote "I wish you would have added packing. All the pads are cracked from being dropped...".

I responded that each pad was wrapped separately and then two pads were taped tight together. I then added an additional wrap around each pair and taped them together. They were placed in a cardboard Priority mail envelope and tape was added around the package for additional support.

We determined that USPS had opened the package to inspect it as it was obvious the package didn't come apart like that AND this mystery rod appeared.

I also explained to him that the hairline cracks on the pad surface is from normal use as verified on Pagid Racing's website.

When the carpet arrived it wasn't Linen or even close to it and did not match the sample pic that he said it did.

I asked him to ship the pads back and I would send back the carpet or he could purchase the pads for $90 ($270 new) and I would send the carpet back as it is of no use to me.

Then he sent me a rant about greed and that I probably don't even need the money anyway. "This ain't Kindergarten.. No trade backs". "Have a good life".

I guess we have different ways of handling things.

I can assure that my way would be to try and do whatever is right and fair.

It's a battery ^^ package broke open because you didn't tape it because you cheaped out on shipping. You wrapped them in printing paper. .. then put them ina usps flat rate envelope..
And you actually offered me 5 bucks for them back. You want your cracked pads?


Hmm worthless cracked pads for nos oem porsche carpet. And you have a problem with my product. I gave you the better part of the deal even after the botched shipping.

Notice the nice Crack in the pad. Usps does not inspect packages, except in the state of Missouri..

Offered you $5 back for them?

You wrote "Dude by the time we ship it back across America we'll both be out 40$ bucks.
And
I mounted them this morning :/"

I wrote back that you can ship them back for $5 and you responded "okay".

The guy who purchased the other set wrote and told me "Got 'em Just as expected and wrapped good enough to be safe for Christmas."

"Hmm worthless cracked pads for nos oem porsche carpet. And you have a problem with my product."

Hmmm worthless cracked pads yet you mounted them to use them?

I don't have a street driven 928. Haha ;)
If you want them back I'll pull them out of my garbage bin. Because dude these are not even worth shipping back.

I posted pictures of the packaging. By safe by Christmas you mean;lost at the post office.

Wait you said you mounted them but now you say they are in your garbage bin?

It is also interesting that the crack in picture above doesn't show up in the detailed pictures you texted me.

It is much easier to be honest and be accountable in life then to play games like this.

Please ignore us gentleman. We are having a pissing match.

I'll have my integrity. You can keep your greed.
I've been up all night tinkering on my 928... I don't need to explain myself to you. You got the better deal and yet you're not happy. You have a tangible product, I nothing. I chalked it up to learning experience. You just thought of how you're going to get more money. You sicken me

Dude just admit you ****ed up. You don't want the carpet send it back and I'll let you have the honors of letting these brake pads occupy a jersey land fill vs an Arizona one.

Yeah, guitar parts. It was a specialty-made "Bat-wing" P-90 made to fit a vintage guitar. I've only made two others just like it (wider mounting space) so I've been searching Ebay for one popping up in Oz...

I pack everything myself, no errors.
Never had a Rennline strut bar.
Other pictures of the box were sent. It was obviously opened by someone before its arrival.

(edit)

Don't eat the cornflakes. someone pee'd in 'em.
