Beware of seller in our Marketplace...

[Richard Hoffman]

Me three!
I bought some wheels from him that were supposedly off an Audi 80...turns
out they were "Prime" brand wheels with Audi logos stuck over the Prime
emblem.  It took 6 months to recieve the wheels.  It took over 2 years to
get the center caps.
Can't we make a "Buyer Beware" section on audifans?  I know there is the
vendor page but for people like Mr. Woodward and Motodyne....they need a
special page.
For the record, I only paid $60 for the wheels and last time I shipped a set
it was over $80...I can only hope he lost money shipping them :)
Don't get me wrong, he was pleasant to deal with...until it came time to
ship parts.  And I feel bad if I don't get my ebay shipped in a few days....
