     I was watching an auction for a vance and Hines 2 into 1, used but little scraped and was real cheap. There are 6 bidders and I say, fuckit..I can't afford much as my mrs is very unwell I look after her 24/7 only working on the bike when she is sleeping which she does for short times each day. Not the point.

    i bid what I think is a bargain.

    bidding is like at $87 with seconds to go I bid.....shit I won and for $90 odd bucks.

     

    now this bloke who may be a member here hasn't yet replied to my emails..just taking a chance that he is glad to get it outa the lounge etc.

     

    i understand getting $91 for a expensive exhaust is not what anyone would hope to achieve ..but at least just msg me telling me its not happening. Cos for a second I was fucken pumped to own a decent exhaust.

    dont need stress, so not gonna fight for it..but I would have at least made some contact as its been 4 days.

     

    not one for fucken sob stories much but things suck right now.

    Lodge a complaint with ebay, at least they'll lodge a strike against his account.

    Have you paid for it? A lot of people don't reply to emails on ebay...lots don't even check them.

     I msg seller asking PayPal or cash , no reply so payed PayPal after prompting by eBay. It's more a case for me as I was so happy, now just disappointed. You know it just placed the next highest bid..my max bid was a lot higher, so not trying to scam anything. 

     

    Maybe he away and I just freaking out..who knows.

    That happens, could be away, If you have paid for it with Paypal, I'd just wait for it now.
    Since you already have the Paypal warranty, you cant lose your money.
    I got my pipes through Flea bay, took a week and a bit, but they did arrive.

    As you said he may be away.

    If it does go to shit put some negative feedback on for him. Make it a doozy, then cut and paste it on here and anywhere else you can think of.

    Good luck mate that sucks.

    Congrats, usualkly if you pay (especially if paypal is involved) it turns out okay one way or another as long as you watch the time limits.

    Sometimes it's good to get your frustrations out in the open. Good to see you got a bargain.
    I had similar concerns when I won a leather jacket for $50.

     Got her home, unsure if it suits my style but beggers can't be fussy.

    Give them a try Paulie73, might sound real nice, if you don't like them you could always put them back on Flea bay.
