Phragle thank you for the offer. It is greatly appreciated. Once I post our email communication you will see why it was no longer about the money for me. I did not want to see this happen to someone on a much more expensive item. To the best of my knowledge I never became defensive in our communications. I simply asked for a full refund do to item not as represented in ad.

When nobody agrees with you and more people come out of the woodwork with similiar story ( blame the previous seller) you`re probably (absolutely) wrong.
Where`s all these 200 satisfied buyers?

That ad is long gone, or you could read it yourself, as in the original sellers ad. I was told that his head guy completely went though them and they were fine other than one set needing 3 new valves. If you buy something used and then resell it, all you can do is rely on the info you were given. I don't know which set you bought, but if you are Joe then you got the heads that I had the new valves put in. I know that set was 100% perfect because I had that set at the shop.
NO, my name is not Joe. The point I was trying to make is that I was completely mislead on what I was actually buying. Apparently as was the original poster of this thread about his purchase of a carburetor from you. If you buy something used, and rely strictly on the info you were given by the previous owner to re-sell it, then you should REPRESENT it in that manner. But for the record the heads I received could have been identified as well used from the moment anybody opened the boxes. Nowhere near the 45 mins runtime you claimed. I would have been far better off buying new heads, but took my chances buying a used set to save money. Like I said in one of my last messages to you-I just wish I would have asked you very particular questions about them, including if you were the one who actually used them... learned my lesson and have bought nothing from you since.

Having read the Swap Shop thread, and this whole debacle... endeavour32 should be ashamed of himself imo.... I can't imagine anyone buying anything from him after reading through this....

Does Walmart give you gas money for returning an item? I mean you drove home with it and had to drive back to the store.

Wal-Mart will send you a prepaid shipping label and will refund 100% of what you spent (including original shipping). They also have an early refund program that will refund your money before they even receive the item back. They generally don't resell 20 year old items because Kmart told them it was newer either. So where were you going with this?

Wal-mart what a joke. No one should be buying from there anyway. Hah... I completely understand what unlimited jd is getting at. I really hate to see this thread get out of hand and in a sense feel at fault. I recall when endeavour32 did the carb exchange and with looking at numerous carbs over the years I never questioned the build date or how old it was. Mike just said he did a trade and the carb was like a year old and I considered buying it for a build but forgot I had two others sittting on the shelf that came off 180 hr 525 sc engines.

Anyway when mike told me about the deal after selling the carb in question my advice just over conversation was to have the seller ship the carb back at his expense and when he received it to credit him for the purchase price. Mike was truly under the impression the carb was what he was told. My personal opinion when purchasing something used there is always some risk to buyer. Seller offering full refund less shipping I feel is fair however that's just me. To my knowledge even jegs does not pay shipping for returns. I would imagine they even have misrepresented parts sold from time to time also. Doubtful intentional though.

I didnt even want to involve myself with this but I've known mike a long time and would trust him with my life and hate to see him get bashed like this mostly from individuals that simply have it out for him. I'm sure we all at some point have misrepresented an item a accidently in one way or another. What could have been handled very quickly has come to two individuals locking horns like bucks in rut. At times in life we all take a stance and it is what it is and that's obviously what's going on here.

My post is no dig to Viper90 at all here. Maybe future purchases refunds and shipping or no shipping refunds should be discusssed prior to purchase. I've been in business for over 30 years and not everyone agrees on what's right or not. It's just a fact.
