Ride: Red Proton Satria, MIVEC transplant
Problem:
- Got in touch with the seller to purchase his MIVEC throttle body
- SMS & PM-ed until a deal was reached for a purchase price
- Once deal was confirmed, met up with seller at ProDrag, Sunway. I work in Ampang & stay in Wangsa Maju
- Waited for an hour or so until his mechanic arrived.
- After a short discussion with his mechanic, seller said I can take the throttle body, but can only have the intake manifold on the the next day.
- Wanting to make things easier for both parties, I agreed to have the items deilvered to me the next day & I make the payment then.
- Called the seller the next day saying that I'll personally come down to Sunway & get the items from him. Seller agrees.
- A few minutes later, seller messages & says the item has been sold to another buyer for a higher price (difference or RM100)
- I then called the seller & offered him higher (by another RM50), just not wanting to make an issue out of it. Seller says he'll get back to me.
- Minutes lates, he messages me & says that it isn't possible. Item sold!
- Called the seller again & talked to him.
- This time, he said that he'll source another throttle body for me, from his friend's ride.
- Again, not wanting to make a major issue of it, I kept quiet.
- Next day, tried calling him the WHOLE day (about 20+ missed calls) with not even a missed-call back to my phone (ignored totally)
- PM-ed him & asked him to get back to me, failing which I would take this matter to this thread. Asked me to go ahead, stating that I "kecoh2".
- So, here I am :_:
Note:
I think it's quite unethical to close the deal with one person & change their mind after that. For an educated person, the seller seems to be real short of this. I hope my warning would serve some other poor soul from this treatment.
