Title: Damnit!!!!
Post by: average on August 23, 2006, 06:41:17 PM
okay guys.... Here's the tank that I ve been waiting so patiently to come in the mail   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&item=290014117016&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1   

Problem is....Its not a f&#king gs tank! It's listed as a gs tank. Even says it will fit all years! Hopefully, these guys will give me ALL of my money back including shipping since they listed it as a gs tank.
Can anyone tell me what Zuk this came off of?

Problem solved:  Diaz:

Holy cow, I took a second look at the pictures and smacked myself on the forehead... D'oh!  It so obvious that I'm embarrassed we screwed that up.  We got the tank already off the bike and it was in a box marked GS500 so that's what we called it and obviously we didn't check very closely.

Please pack the tank back up and we'll arrange a return shipment and get you a full refund.  All you'll need to do is repack the tank; FedEx will show up with a pre-paid, pre-printed label; once the tank arrives in good condition, we'll issue a refund to your PayPal account. Let me know when you're ready and also where the best place is to pick it up during the day - if its at your work place include the company name; include your daytime phone number so FedEx can contact you if necessary.

Please accept our apologies for the mix-up on the tank - it certainly wasn't intentional on our part but we understand the frustration of not getting what you wanted.  If we locate another tank in the next few weeks, we will let you know and give you first option on it.

Sincerely,

Gary Bandy
Owner, NXS Powersports

That's great.  I hear so many horror stories about buyers and sellers that it's good to see one that's so honest and willing to make things right.

If I were you I would ask if I could just keep the tank.  That's a K4 600/750 tank.

but its not really a tank. Its just a cover with im guessing a plastic bladder of some sort underneath.

uhhh no. That's a tank.  There's nothing under it but an airbox and an engine.

sell it on ebay...but the profit you'll make is only partially going to offset the fact that you over paid for what you expected to get.  You'll be able to about $125~150 for it.

...for reference, my estimate on what you'll make on it comes from the fact that it looks like it's dented.  If that's just an effect of the lighting, you can expect sloer to $250 for it...probably more since black bikes are the most sold.

Now that is low and dishonest. The seller just proved to be a standup guy, and you would F@$K him?

Average is better than that.

Until YOU make an honest mistake and get screwed, and then you say, "Why couldn't they just cut me a break?"

And don't even try to argue your point, because you are saying it's ok to be a deceitfull douchebag. C'mon, think about it.
