[SPF2008]

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to explain our side of the story. This part was indeed listed on e-bay for $369.00. This was below our cost on the part. I offered this part to the customer at $ 500.00 once I found the mistake on the price which is still a very good deal on this part. The normal retail on is $716.10. I was in no way trying to bait and switch anyone. I have never done that in my life and would not start now. I was just trying not to get in trouble for selling a part at cost and trying to make a deal with the customer at the same time hoping everone would win. I offer my Sincerest appologies and hope this customer will accept it. I would also like to offer you this header tank at no charge because of the confusion and hassle you have gone through.

Brent and Jamo, if you feel this is not warranted, please accept my apology and close the thread. But I have to, like I said, get this off my chest. No one deserves a bait and switch, which is exactly what happened to me today.

A friend turned me on to the degas tank from Superformance listed on ebay for $369. I look it up and, sure enough, there it is. Brand new, in the box. They are in Irvine - which is right around the corner from me - so I call them up.

(paraphrasing)

"Saw your ebay listing. Can I come down tomorrow and pick one up?"

"Sure, no problem. See you tomorrow"

So I take an early lunch, hop on the 405 and head down to pick it up. (Big plans to start my engine this weekend. Big party. Lot's o' people)

I get there and they say, "Sorry, can't let it go for less than $500" They changed the price on the spot!!! I didn't blow up; just declined to pay an extra $130 bucks on the spot and left.

I'm so pissed I can spit! HILLBANK,If you post a price and tell someone you will sell it at that price, HONOR IT!!

Yeah, I'll get flamed, but they were pretty low to Bait-and-Switch me like that.

Sign me,

It's now listed @ $500. I could have bought it last night @$369 but, like I said, I'm (still, with another tank, hopefully) planning a start party this weekend. Hence, the pickup.
