Right or not, that's Paypal for you.


i sold so much stuff on here and pwc and didnt have any problems expect for a set of carbs that the guy said were roached (two mikunis shipped for $100 with manifold) and i gave him a 75$ refund and he never sent the carbs back like he was supossed to and then this...

I always specify upfront what the condition of something is (with details and pics) and also indicate that it is used and therefore sold AS IS. A disclaimer like that can be very useful.
 
First off I havent even read all these posts. I read his first one and that is it. Mainly he is exagerating. It wasnt several weeks ago it was A WEEK. 1 week. I told him i needed it asap to take on vacation. I put it in. Ran it for 10 minutes to make sure it was running then threw it on the trailor and drove to maryland. Used it maybe 10 minutes and it bogged down and started running on one cylinder. I had to walk down the shore with it to the dock.

I get home a week later and instantly email him. I can show pictures of anything he wants. I was told it was a perfectly running motor with 5 hours on it. I can show it was definitely his 750 motor that this is because its frankensteined together and has 2 odd studs with oddball nuts on it as he knows.

Ill post pics of what happened to it later on tonight but basically snagged a ring in one cylinder and it needs a new piston, rings and a bore. He is lying about offering to pay for one of them. He first said he would and before i could even respond he said no never mind im not paying anything, I told him i get dealerpricing and that the piston will be about 60 -70 bux and a bore is around there as well. The engine was set up properly and I know what im doing. The ports were not chamfered properly.
 
sorry dude,you had bad luck. Suck it up and fix it,then ride it like ya stole it:arms: It sure sucks,but things happen. Ive bought stuff that was"like new" then get it home and it blows. It sucks,but if ya wanted a warranty then should of bought a sbt. So for 780ish you got a new rebuilt motor thats not to shaby.

Once gain sorry for your misfortune but $hit happens.
 
Well it isnt like i was buying a motor that said may run may not run. When i was willing to pay the 600 i was told it was a perfectly running motor which is not what i got. I got a motor that was improperly put together by someone who doesnt know anything about motors clearly.

He also left out that a bunch of the studs on the motor were drilled out and put back in with oddball SAE size studs. Those arent in his pictures. I would also be surprised if this motor had 5 hours on it when i got it. It looked like it had never been fired before ever. It wouldnt surprise me if it had blown up and some hack who thought they knew what they were doing rebuilt it and it was never run again.

I already spoke to paypal on the phone. there are more ways to get money than the current bank account you have linked to it.

x2, nobody intentionally tried to screw you. Get it fixed, go ride, and forget about it. As I said before, these are risks that are associated with buying products this way.
 
There was never any exchange such like "as-is", "no refunds" nothing even close to that. I think it would be fair for him to cover the whole thing considering im willing to do all the work and hassle myself. I think that shows very low character to be able to sell someone a ticking time bomb and when ti blows to tell them where to go. I didnt think that was what the X was about but im starting to see just what some people on here are all about. Their own personal gains. In it for the sport my a$$ way to screw over a fellow rider.:biggthumpup:

For those of you who dont know Paypal will cover the 600 to me regardless of whether he has the money or not but what they can and will do the man told me is sue him. That seems extreme over a couple hundred dollar piston job. Man up.

you better prove you were screwed intentionally before you pull money out of his account if you ever want to buy anything on this site again. wydopen had a good rep here.
 
Ive bought thousands of dollars worth of stuff from people on this site. Never had a problem. I never said i was intentionally screwed but I am being screwed now. Maybe you should mind your own business since you dont know what you are talking about. Is this a popularity contest? I think his rep is being tarnished as we speak. How many of you would feel comfortable buying form him now knowing how he is going to react if he sells you garbage? Take his side allllllll you want. Lets see one of you buy a motor from him now.

If this is a popularity contest I'd say you're not very popular. Sorry dude.

Do you really thnk it's a big deal if a few people take his side? Get over yourself, and go have some fun. If you can't do it on X then there's always SBTtoday ( PWC ):pokey:

If I were to buy any motor that someone else had put together, I would immediately take it apart upon reciept just to make sure things were ok. There were odd/snapped studs in there. This would have been the first reason I would have pulled it aprt to check everything. Also, the fact that it was a new/rebuilt engine would also lead me to at least pull the head and check the pistons walls.

In one of the e-mails you sent to Wydopen, you state that you know engines well, so I thought you may have done a really good inspection on the engine before running it. With that said, I would be a little disappointed if I was in your shoes.

I would think the best thing to do here, for the sake of riders helping out other riders would be for both of you to cop half of the cost each.

When it's all said and done, and the weapons have been put down, we're all here for the same thing, so lets help each other out so we can all get along and keep riding.
