Bad experience buying from Blackhella. Bought the led headlights, euro turn signals + fog lights and hood hinges from his garage sale post in October. He said he would ship it that weekend but never did and stopped communication right after sending him the money.
Never received a follow up or reply when I asked when he would ship. I disputed the transaction through Paypal and escalated it when I saw he deleted his original sales post which I thought was suspicious. I have received my refund from Paypal and I will not be doing business with him again.
Saw this after I dropped out of his current FS thread.
I’m a little new here but I would assume there is a first come first serve etiquette to transactions. 1st 5er, you had PMed blackhella about lot item #6. I had PMed him as well in the chance that you decided not to purchase it. After you had backed out, I did not receive any word other than the main thread stating it was sold. Being second in line, I thought I would be reached out to. He even confirmed my original PM waiting for a response from the first buyer, I assumed was yourself. What a shame.
For the sake of the buyers, things go better this time.
Just bought a set of taillights from alpinass.... AND BOY ARE THEY GOOD.
My guy packaged them amazingly, felt like christmas unwrapping them, and they're in perfect shape... chrome is incredible for a set of lights from the 80s. As well as no cracks in the lenses. I'm excited to get these bad boys on the car!
Thanks again Paul!! My e28 and I appreciate you!
Sold all of my e28 parts as a lot to a sunroofguy (goes by Pete). We agreed on something like $1,000-$1,500 (it's been several months) total. He shows up the day of with a truck and car hauler (the car was free) and asks to instead pay $500 now and the rest when he comes back for the second trip (would be the following month as that's when he would get paid). He was taking the parts to a warehouse in VA. Annoyed, I agreed as I believed him, and I wanted the parts gone. He loaded up all of the good stuff (including my M5 diff and transmission) and took off. He did return my racing seat the next day which I had asked him to do. I waited the month he asked for, then started calling him. No replies. So, now I'm out at least $500, all of my large plastic bins (didn't realize how expensive those were O.o), and several parts that I needed to get rid of yet again.
TL;DR: If you deal with sunroofguy, get all of your money up front. Homie might just leave you behind.

That's unfortunate. Too bad there's still sketchy people out there...

@dogabon sold me NOS hood grills and they're perfect
@dogabon is an awesome seller. I've purchased NOS headlights, hood grills, turn signals, and Recaro seat mounting brackets from him. Perfect transactions.
