AnthonyBFX should not be trusted.

He was VERY quick to respond with emails before I sent the payment (for a radiator) and after receiving it vanished.

I've already started the legal work to make him pay for it but just thought others should be warned.

Sorry for your trouble, but zero post should've been your first clue.

I got an 3.07LSD from cooperman last fall. Packed well and shipped quickly. Thanks to winter downtime, diff is now installed and runs smooth and quiet. Thanks Micah, the 3.07 is the partner my CR gearbox was meant to have from the factory.

I wish I had a better way to resolve this but I am at my wit's end. I bought an ECU from cdova through this forum for $90. The ECU is bad. With it installed, my car will idle slow and rough but dies when given gas. I eventually bought a different ECU from Bimmerguy2002 for $55. My car runs like a champ. (Thank you Bimmerguy2002!)
I sent cdova a pm. He responded that he would refund my money if I sent him back the ECU. Great. I have now pm'd him 4 times requesting an address for me to ship to. I have also emailed his personal email. I get no response.
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Extended vacation?
I am hoping this helps elicit a response.

Made a purchase from Jay Stratton. Fast prompt service as stated, parts are reliable.

I bought a rear window shade/rear deck cover from Boby (Toms Kalme). It arrived from Latvia in less than two weeks, it was very well packed and in very good condition. He is very trustworthy and a good connection for euro parts.

Bought a B35 wiring harness conversion from Bimmerguy2002 - Matt's a great seller.
Thanks!

There is one person here that I know is honest, fair and reputable. South42 in Ohio. He has kept both of my e28's on the road for several years now. His prices are fair and his shipping is fast. Thanks again south26! Will be buying more shortly...

I just wanted to recognize member boby. For euro parts I'd say excellent service. Great prices, and great parts. Works with you the whole time and discloses everything good, or bad. Recently bought mint dash, euro turns, and refurbished euro lights. I couldn't be happier.

T_C_D I meet him today when i picked parts. Very nice guy, parts are clean and looks great.
Very positive man, helpful and I think its not last good word about him... see you soon....

[ArtJohnson]

Early this week I bought a brake booster and pressure accumulator from Sean Cassidy. He sent the parts on the same day I paypal'd the money, and they arrived in 2 days. Nice parts at a fine price and a very good guy to deal with.

I got an engine from T_C_D last week.

He got it all packed up and strapped to a pallet for me. It arrived in Dallas a couple days later and it looks great. Thanks again Todd!

About a week ago I bought a doorhandle + the handle from south26 for 25 shipped, sent the package a few days after payment and it was here by the beginning of the next week.
Thanks Andy!

Wierd Al:

this guy even during busy times got me a killer deal on a single mass flywheel for my e30 m30 swap!

Heres what it looks like resurfaced

Purchased a leather rear seat from DJM1986-5. Would buy from again.

[south26]

Ron Lester is not a good buyer. Not sure about his name on mye28.com. He is from the Dayton, Ohio area. He said he was going to stop by and take a look at some body panels, told him I could cut them tomorrow. He decided to blow me off and not bother calling to let me know that he was stopping by. So beware of selling if you have to depend on him standing by his word.

I got a catback from dude8383

He got it packed up and shipped super quick! It looks great. I am pleased with the transaction.

[three5ives]

Purchased a IS Spoiler from 'metricate' , excellent seller, responsive, and has serious packaging skills. He did a great job insuring it got from NH to GA with no issues. Would buy from him again.

I purchased a set of Alpina headers from Ivo (Ovide). He was very responsive, the headers were packed nicely with a little gift inside! The headers were as described and in very nice condition. A big thank you to you sir! I hope to see you soon!!!

[strupgolf]

I traded some wheels with e28cfx1 and I'm very pleased with the entire transaction. The wheels showed up just as described. Thank you.

Thanks Aaron!

I made the mistake of purchasing two Leather Shift Knobs from ALGA - Alan Gun Leather Accessories.

I called him one month after ordering and he said they had been misplaced and he would call me right back.
Since then I have called him once a week for the past two months and he never answers. 10 emails and no response.

I made the mistake of paying via PayPal which will not let me dispute the charges after 45 days.

$89 flushed down the toilet

Alan Gun should be avoided at all costs

UPDATE:

6 Months after Payment I finally received the knobs. They are both crudely made and have issues where the emblem mounts. Also they do not have the clip that allows you to mount them on the shift shaft. He told me to glue them in place. WTF ?
