Aplinass endorsement!

Just purchased from Alpinass a recovered e28 dashboard in German vinyl. Arrived in packaging that kept it safe and secure. It's a wonderful bit of workmanship, very high quality. And Paul is very easy and responsive to deal with.

Please don't hesitate to work with Paul.

Another endorsement for Paul. Rear seat in better condition than description. Thank you Paul!

There is a person going by the name of Pavel Jordi Overmars from Surbiton in the UK advertising the engine from a M6 chassis #WBAEE1415J2561765 for sale. It was on a Craig's list add in London. I contacted him and I made arrangements for it to be delivered to a shipper to crate it and ship it to me in the US. I put a deposit on the engine and he immediately stopped all communication.

I transferred the funds to his bank account and I have contacted the bank to inform them about this, I don't expect I will ever hear from him again and I'll chalk this up to a learning experience but I am going to be as public with this as I can and hope to keep someone else from falling for this scam.

Overdrive sold me a neat vintage 1980's refurbished leather Hella sport steering wheel, shipped from Latvia to the US. The steering wheel is in perfect condition and he sent it promptly. I would not hesitate to buy from him again.

@jhh925 (Jens) - AAA+++ TOP SELLER. WILL BUY FROM AGAIN.

Told me he had an near perfect late-model carpet set. I believed him. He packed it well and shipped it promptly. It is as described (maybe better). Good guy and good seller.

Here's another great piece of work by Chris Scow - he created an OEM-like gear shift knob for me. http://leatherwheels.com/contact.htm

I had an origianl shift knob but the leather was shot, and so I sent it to him for repair. What I didn't know was that the innards were shot too - the plastic tabs that snap the knob to the gear shifter shaft had shattered. So plan B was to find a cheap replacement knob and use the innards on the original - but of course modern knobs are one-piece manufactured. I did find a replica knob (eBay!), but it wasn't leather, so I sent that to Chris to leather. I also sent him the original shift boot to sew to the leather knob, just like OEM.

Chris is excellent to work with - he was very heplful in creating a solution. And his leather work us first-rate.

Not technically a buyer/seller transaction but a shout out to jimoreno who was very helpful with some technical questions I had related to the e38, even went so far as to send me a spare ignition switch for me to swap onto the car to assist with the troubleshooting. Thank you Jimmy!

Had a pleasant and unexpected run-in with a fellow mye28-er during a recent purchase. When I saw the neighborhood littered with e34s an e23 and an e28, I figured something was up. Thanks, kojo96. Would buy again.

[Hffvdbl]

Another great experience with Andy. Can't say enough great things about this seller. He has sold me (and the rest of us) many parts and I'm always impressed with his fair prices, packing and how fast he sends things. This time he sold me a B35 intake and packed it incredibly well to prevent damage.

Thanks again Andy (South26)

[ssf1342]

Good experiences as a buyer with wickz80 (Dave) & TCD (Todd; long overdue). Smooth transactions, constant communications, well-packed items.

[jmcdevitt]

Bought some trim pieces from Ivo/Ovide on ebay, fast shipping, packed like fine china (worth the $39 for shipping), reasonable prices, items as depicted/described, will be doing more business. Very happy.

Bad seller Bstewart1994

His name is Brandon Stewart and he lives in San Diego.

Bought the Dinan strut bar from him. He sent it in two shipments. The end pieces in one package and the center part in another. He did not tape the packaging, that contained the center piece, and the box arrived empty. He is not replying to multiple PMs and emails, even though he has been on here and replied to others. I'm out almost $400 and can't even make a claim as USPS needs a copy of the original shipment receipt, which I have asked him for.

Buyers beware!!

Bought a perfect condition dash from dogabon and it came in 3 days from Spain, packaged to withstand a plane crash. Great seller and item is just as described for a fair price and super fast shipping. Will buy again from this seller

[TurboE28]

Spacial thanks to vinceg101! Recently picked up a free part (could have charged). No doubt a quality of a Farrah mug recipient.

Thanks Vince!

[kojo96]

Perfect parts from WiDeBoDyNYC , actually parts were better than the photos and price was good on a hard to find parts.

Just carelessness on their behalf. Luckily everything else was fine. Thank you Andy!
