Bill Prawn Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 How much? Some mistake here methinks!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 No mistake. . . . but he wants payment up front and then he'll get the kit sent from Japan by airfrieght. You can't see the goods before paying, you can't collect the goods from him unless you pay for them first. Also he has absolutely zero feedback as a seller.

Todd Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I was going to get a TOMs kit for the MR2 from him but asked for photos of the kit off a car before payment. Never got the photos and never replied to follow up emails:sly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Prawn Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 He puts up his address for all to see. If he can get these this cheap why are the so expensive elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can get these this cheap why are the so expensive elsewhere? I suspect that Tiffanys get the same reaction when faced with someone just visited Ratners! They are probably a complete load of rubbish! BTW - had a long convo with the chap who has the Top Secret Supra for sale on there (the multicoloured job!) who got his cheap from the USA His bodyshop guy spent SIX WEEKS trying to get it to fit - and would not charge less than £6K + paint just to fit it if faced with that kind of crap again!

Jake Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I might be willing to risk it if he had some history of satisfied customers on eBay, or if he had the kit in stock and I could collect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Prawn Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 Worth a report to e-bay then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Come on let's take up the opportunity to wind him up. Someone email him and tell him you just live down the road (say Clinton Close) and ask if you can pop around and pay for it in person as it seems silly to do it all by post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Originally posted by Bill Prawn Worth a report to e-bay then? For what? He hasn't done anything wrong. He might be perfectly genuine for all we know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonball Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I have already been in contact with him - and not ascertained a great deal TBH He will get in from japan if ordered and could not give me any feedback - at which stage I walked:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add that he swears they're genuine TRD kits I guess we won't know until somebody buys one - which might be a long time unless he changes his business strategy.

stt Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Just out of general interest but are or would the TRD kit be made of frp as opposed to fibreglass like the one he is advertising???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Prawn Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 I have just received the following answer from Samurai. "Yes it is genuine, you can collect but it has to be shipped first, I suggest paying half first as a deposit and then paying the other half on collection." Could be tempted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I have invited them to read this thread and pass comment to me. I wonder what the answer will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 That'll be interesting. If he's genuine he'll see that there's several people who'll buy his kits if he can get them in stock before having to pay up front. If not then I'm guessing we'll never see a post from him. I think he'd do better to comment here rather than directly to you though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
