This has been the worste ebay transaction I have Ever had.
I find a listing that was a Lot of vintage Rc cars. Kyosho USA 1 , Futaba Fx10,Tamiya monster Beetle parts truck, misc radio gear and junk.
The seller was new at Ebay, got the shipping price all wrong. Needed more money to ship the boxes. Everyday it was a new shipping price, from USPS , FED X , UPS. It was originally 2 boxes, then the seller crammed it all in to one box (poor packing, damaged parts) I send money thru paypal for shipping. Didnt hear from the seller for a few days. Then one day i get an Email stating its been shipped (seller just made a shipping lable.) I noticed it was going to my old Address. After I won the auction, I Emailed and wrote the seller on Ebay that it needs to be shipped to my new address, I even sent it in a text. The seller said it'd be sent to my new address . ( paypal hadnt been updated because i just moved, new address cant be confirmed yet ) I contact the seller telling her that she used my old address, turns out its her BOYFRIEND thats dealing with me . HE said that he'd correct it, that only a shipping lable was made , it hadnt been shipped. She messages me saying that she cannot change the address ,that it was a done deal. It was being sent to that address. For 3 days they both knew itd be sent to the wrong address. Box is picked up and sent . I had to call UPS 4 times before someone finally told me that the box can be held at a hub so i can pick it up. It couldnt be re routed .I had to make a 2 hr trip to go pick it up. So by the time i spend gas money, im in to this by $200.00 Better hope the purchase was worth it
THE BOX : Horribly packed.Kyosho USA 1 lexan body was crushed, FX10 body was crushed. The stub axels on the Monster Beetle and USA 1 poked holes thru the box. The box had holes to start with, screws and parts were falling out as I picked it up
The kyosho USA1 has a cracked frame,could have had it before shipping.Crushed lexan body. Other than that its salvageable.Ill fix and keep.
The Futaba FX10 . Has busted rear shock mounts. Crushed lexan body.
Other than that, complete and salvageable. Ill fix and keep.
Tamiya monster Beetle. Good parts truck. Has a busted rear shock mount as well. Missing one of the gold rims. Lost interest in it, will be sold.
There was a pile of Nikko frame buggy or Radio shack golden arrow parts . Didnt receive all the parts and controller ( Seller musta thought i wouldnt notice.. It wasnt listed in the listing, i just saw the parts in the pile) The parts i do have will be sold.
There was misc rims / tires , motors , chargers. Also didnt get all the radios ,or batteries that were pictured.
Out of the mess I got a decent Fx10 project, USA 1 project. some futaba receivers,Futaba transmitters, few good sets of rims/tires. A set of used Edinger Rear Rc10 tires.
In the listing, the seller stated that they all "GO" but would be a project or parts. Not a one of them showed any signs of life!
Think im gonna part out some of it and make up some money. Im not too upset over it, I did get a USA 1 and a FX10. Who knows, i migh save the beetle to build a basher Frog. Always wanted one of them too.
So what junk have you bought ? Share your story!
), so had a price of just over $170. Seller sends an invoice, asking what to do next, and how I intend to pick the items up. Next morning I e-mail the seller through eBay, telling him I've arranged for a mate to pay and pick up the stuff, and said mate will contact him tomorrow (Saturday). In response, an hour later, I get the following BS:
