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.
