I bought some "XKE" uprights and hubs from Bill Connelly dba Upstate Cobra back in April on eBay.
In an e-mail prior to my bidding he stated "If you aren't pleased with them send them back! "
After I received the units, they were not rebuildable for my purposes so I requested return for refund. Connelly replied "Don't send them back!"
Here are some photos of what I received:
I tried going through Paypal and Connelly refused to cooperate. I then went to eBay requesting arbitration through their process. Upstate / Connelly stonewalled - no response whatsoever.
Anyone planning to do business with this person or company should see what they are getting in advance or take a chance on buying junk.
That's all I wanted to say
