So a few months ago I tried to buy some hks hyper max coils off nico. They were last years model and brand new in the box. The guy had them posted for $1200 obo. He said he was in a desperate need of cash so they had to go fast. After a week or so he had came down to $800 plus shipping.
So naturally I needed coilovers and came accross his thread. Well im looking to spend around $1000 and I see this. I think to myself with what I like to call a "car parts hardon"(similar to beer goggles and impaired judgement), that is an awesome deal. It has to be too good to be true. Well I talk to this guy and everything seems cool. So I go ahead and send the money through paypal(thinking this is a great day and I get some cool stuff for my car) and go about my day.
Well a day or two go by and I see that he does not have very many posts in nico(30ish). I figured it was just the fact that nico*cough, cough* sucks dick *cough, cough*.... and he does not spend much time on there. I hardly ever go on there but have 700ish post on here. I did not think much of it. Then I was looking at the pics of the coilovers. I noticed some looked photo shopped or odd. I became a bit suspecting and nervous. So I emailed him and what do you know.... His email was disabled.
Just realizing I had been fucked over by some asshole I did everything to get my money back. I found out his ip address, phone number, address, ect... and it did not really get me far(he was too far to drive to his house and...). Well after going to paypal and trying to get refunded, it did not go well.
So long story short, after giving up on getting my money back. I got an email from paypal today saying that I was getting refunded and the money was in my account pending. So I just thought I would share that bit of info with those of you who care. I thought that the timing was great seeing as how xmas is right around the corner. Im not fortunate enough to have money growing from my house plants so $800+ is quite a bit of money for me.
