Effin Ponderous Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 That's the one I was referring to but was off on the price. Has Borla dropped pricing, or is there a new style coming out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Part # in the add is the same as current # from other vendors. Still waiting on a reply from them before I commit to one. Price does seem real cheap compared to other vendors. Grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effin Ponderous Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 Well, I just took the plunge. Checked the part numbers and descriptions and it was for the full cat back. They had 2 units and I bought the second. The listing is gone now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mele63 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 At the "revised" price it doesn't seem fishy. One thing I learned when I bought mine is that Borla is pretty strict with "advertised" prices; so if a vendor says "call for pricing" it means they're willing to make a pretty good deal. I've had mine for about a year and still very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subieson26 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 This is the vendor were i got mine last winter, and it's still the same price which is less then the Borla site price.

Effin Ponderous Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 The Effin guy pulled the plug and lied about a Borla recall. I called him on it, and both of us who had bought hit him with negative feedback. Then the SOB lies, ad hits me back with it!!! Don't waste your money with this guy..he even had the balls to repost at the same price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't waste your money with this guy..he even had the balls to repost at the same price! Sorry for your troubles man - that really blows. The seller's behaviour, especially reposting the items he wouldn't sell you, sounds like a violation of eBay policy. Did you report him? I know eBay usually doesn't give a %^&*$ but every once in a while they do the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9e3 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 FnP, hopefully you can find some solace in the fact that giving -FB as a buyer is far more damaging than his retaliatory -FB as a seller. Very few sellers will block bids by a buyer with an occasional -FB or two, but buyers will be much more wary of a seller with recent -FB, especially one with 2 from different buyers for the same item.

Effin Ponderous Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 I actually worked with the other buyer (they showed two available) and tried to get Ebay to do someting. They wouldn't even respond with anything but the standard...we're sorry for your inconvenience crap. At least I talked the other guy in to posting -FB. Weird thing is they tagged me, but haven't tagged him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9e3 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Tagged? As in suspended, banned...??? Don't think I've ever heard that term used before WRT eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mele63 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 It's pretty obvious the seller made a mistake on the price; too bad he took the chump route by lying about it. I think most people would understand an honest pricing mistake, esp. with a smaller seller vs. Wal-Mart, ect. Now if it was a no-reserve auction, that would be another scenerio.
