Hillbank 351 Header Tank
Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to explain my side of the story. This part was indeed listed on E-Bay for $369.00. This price was below our cost on the part. When i found out about this i told the customer i would be able to sell it to him at $500.00. This was still a great deal. It is normally $716.10. I would never try to bait and switch anyone. That is totally against my morals. I was just trying to not get myself in trouble by selling parts below our cost and i was trying to give the customer some type of deal at the same time. I do offer my sincerest appologies. I would also like to offer the header tank to you at no charge because of this headache and hassle. Please trust me i would never intentionally post something at such a low price and then switch the price.

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.

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.
