*Purpose of thread is only to give a heads up to the rest of forum members*
hey guys,
I wanted to warn others that you may not get what you were told with this member cbradley49. If he tells you a part is good or tested he probably doesn't have a clue if it works.
I wasn't given the information that would have kept me from buying this BAP until after i paid him. He sold me the BAP AS good/working when removed and tested.
i bought a BAP from cbradley49 last year around the end of august beginning of sept.
He had it listed here
http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?960630-Kenne-Bell-40amp-BAP&highlight=
heres the skinny. I knew him from several decal sales. I knew this spring i was going to convert my car to E85. I decided since i knew him and he seemed good to deal with Id get the BAP he had for sale and get it installed this spring.
If you look at the link i see no description of any of my issues or disclosure about it being previously owned before him or the fact he never even used it himself.
I took it to get installed last week, after several hours the shop called me to tell me that it is garbage.
Wont power up, just nothing. several $ later for labor no less and no BAP installed.
I messaged cbradley49
he told me that the wires were spliced by the previous owner backwards. The red fused wire and red non fused wire need to be switched. they were cut when it was uninstalled and put back backwards. Ok, how he would know that I'm unsure of because you can't decipher one red from the other after the cables are cut off and he never used it. He tells me he told me this a while back, i don't recall that. i can't find that anywhere and i asked him multiple times to provide something if he did say it. Nothing back.
FF to the latest
This information was never given prior to payment.
cbradley49 got it used, never installed it, never tested it, had no way of knowing it was good.
He is a seller that obviously did not disclose everything he knew about the part. it was actually used already prior to him and he never tried to verify its working condition. I don't care if someone you bought it from told you it was good, don't sell it telling me or another member if its something you never saw or verified. I was given the impression he DID check it.
I offered to eat half if he refunded the other $75 to help cover for the loss. since i have had it a while, but he also was not honest up front. he obviously disagrees hence this thread. Ive made every attempt to cbradley49 to keep from starting a thread. he sees no problem with the fact he mislead me apparently. which means he will do it again to one of you
If you sell on this forum and its used. Give the fullest amount of information that you have, even if that hurts your chance of sale. Sell with the same respect you want as a buyer. simple
