I assure you that trying to scam Lucky8 out of $50 is not worth my time, and I still have not seen any correspondence from them to me thru the legally binding transaction platform we consummated our purchase on (eBay) indicating any willingness to refund/replace these coils. I can also generate correspondence that you would have no way of knowing whether it was actually sent/received or not and then post it here claiming "look what I sent them: see I told you they're not being sincere or responsive or whatever".

The fact that they are actually representing this fantasy (to me) correspondence I have never received as "genuine" only casts further doubt for me as their trustworthiness as a vendor (something I hadn't had until just now seeing how so many of you are taking their "oh, we tried to work with him" bait) -- and it should for you too.

My goal in all of this has only been to try and keep others from having the same "bad brown acid trip" I had. If I just wanted a refund or new coils, don't you think I would have been all "sugar and honey" instead of going totally "danger Will Robinson"?

Their lack of concern/ownership about the potential of selling further defective coils is what you should really be concerned about. If I were Liucky8, I would want these coils back right away to see if: 1) they really are bad; and 2) if they are bad, why and do we (Lucky8) maybe have a problem with the rest of the coils stocked on our shelves that perhaps shouldn't be shipping them.

Think about it gentlemen.

 

Yes, according to my eBay transaction record, that is the part.

Whatever this "correspondence" is that you are referring to, Lucky8 has not sent to me in response to my eBay request for a refund/replacement.

So whatever it is you claim Lucky8 is showing you that demonstrates their responsiveness/sincerity, they have not responded to me with anything that is way that is binding. Ask them to show you the response to my eBay dispute: they can't because they haven't responded yet.

That response -- which they haven't made yet -- is what matters: the rest is just noise and misdirection.

 

You think if we ignore him he'll just go away?

 

You were correct.

There are bad coils out there and I want to be sure people know about it.

 

Unfortunately no it never works out that well, let's be honest he is ignoring everyone that doesn't match his picture.

I'm torn though between ordering a set of the coils or a snorkel for the p38 from the guys at Lucky8.


You do realize that Lucky8 doesn't make the coils right? You most likely bought Britpart coils that everyone sells?

 

Yes. That's the part.

They have not offered to settle this thru my eBay dispute. I wonder why?

 

Below is the email you sent me which you have conveniently chosen NOT to disclose to this forum (selective disclosure is never a winning strategy: in the end it all comes out), in which you clearly attempt to create distance between yourself and LRPARTS, by referring to it as a "third party store".

Here's the definition of third party:

-------------------------------

ˈˌTHər(d) ˈpärdē
noun
1.
a person or group besides the two primarily involved in a situation, especially a dispute.
adjective
1.
relating to a person or group besides the two primarily involved in a situation.
"third-party suppliers".

-----------------------

Above in your post you are stating that you never attempted to distance yourself from LRPARTS.

Below is your statement that LRPARTS is a third party store, which means NOT Lucky8.

So which is it: your statement above in your post or your statement below in the undisclosed email?

Is LRPARTS a "third party" or a Doing-Business-As (dba) under Lucky8?

your two statements are contradictory, and you only get to chose one to stand by.

I guess the case is cracked.

If anyone wants a screenshot of the email as rendered in my outlook,I will be happy to do so.

Bill,

You are referring to a purchase made through a 3rd party store <bolded for emphasis> several months ago. Those questions get filtered into another folder on eBay when the purchase is over 90 days old. You also sent it over the weekend and we didn't have a chance to get to it yesterday as Mondays are usually quite busy for us. Then we come in today and have a threatening email. If you are on the forums and you know who we are then you have our contact info. Next time you have an issue, either email or call us directly. If you are going to publicly bash us at least be polite and put in the bashing that you sent a message thru a 3rd party site over the weekend and didn't even give us more than 1 business day to respond. That is only fair. Threatening to deface us because you didn't get an immediate response through Ebay is silly to say the least.

 

I can see where they offered a refund in this thread if you send it in.

 

umm you do realize Ebay is the 3rd party here right?

 

According to my understanding of contract law, if the tire induced damage to the wheel, then the supplier would be liable for a new wheel as well as tire even if the driver was negligent.

The issue of five months is meaningless.

The real challenge is proving the faultiness of the tire, i.e., that the tire failure wasn't due to Force Majeure, i.e., an "act of God"

May be counterintuitive to "common sense" but that's common law for you.
