dear abby i sold a gentlman 3 powervalves and canles from a viper. one cable was bad as stated to him. the valves were used so not minty clean but not real crusty either. he is telling me they are no good and wants his money back. the cables fit into the . whaty should i dovalves quite tight yet and have no wesr ther at all. he wants his money back. i dont think there was nothing wrong witht them but he says they are not useable. what should i do. i am in canada he is in the u.s. so with shipping and all the hooplaw that goes on i could be just throwing away money. i never had a bad transaction and dont want to stiff anyone but i really cant see the problem

Where you very descriptive in the listing? A actual copy of the listing would be helpful. If you were up front and honest about condition I would just apoligize he and leave it at that. Did you state in auction item as is with no returns or refunds. I had a guy unhappy with what I sold him once. It was a reproducvtion of Honda Trail service manual and parts catalog. I was very descriptive. He was not happy so I offered a full refund and told him to keep product. He accepted then turn me in to Ebay for copyright infringement for something that was no longer available and Ebay pulled all my auctions which totalled about 300 dollars in sales. I had over 50 people very pleased then the 1 jack hole. Like the old saying says you can please some of the people some of the time but not all the all the time. He shouldv'e asked more questions and his loss. Hate to be a dick. That is my 2 cents.
it wasnt on ebasy, it was on here. he needed a power valve that was in good shape. i realy only thought they were bad if the cable was pulled threw it or were badly marked up which they were not. they could use a cleaning but for 50.00 i wasnt going to clean them

Have the guy takes pics and post them here or send them to your email so you can post them. So the guys on here can see what hes talking about. And if everyone thinks he blowin smoke on the condtion then dont refund any of his money. But there gunna have to be clean to see any imperfections, that he is so called complaining about. Thats what I would do on this issue.

I agree with expertx. Hopefully he is honest and doesn't do the bait and switch. I had a guy complain about KITTY KAT motor I sold him he said it was wrong motor. He sent it back and I refunded money later to find out he took the motor apart and remove points and condensor and a couple other internal parts.

OMG are you SERIOUS?!?! THAT is EXACTLY why i dont like selling to people that i dont "know" and haven't conversed with a lot. There are so many people out there that just dont give a $hit who they screw or how they do it. I would be so mad if someone did that to me that i might be on the verge of committing some illegal acts. That is damn ridiculous. Hope you somehow got it straightened out. Man that is crappy on his part.
Have him contact me. For 50 bucks he can ship them to me, he pays the shipping, which won't be more than 8.10, flat rate us mail is great. I'll pay him for them. Paul
i would say, i can have 1 of them sold for you for 50.00. i had a guy blow up his viper 2 days after i sold them and he needs a valve. cant believe i sold them that cheap. i thought i was just helping him out. he paid me 70.00 with shipping. came complete with everything but the servo motor. 2 cables are good also.

if hes smart and they are in that bad condition im sure he can find a place that re-furbishes them..i know a guy in montreal that does exactly this..i sent him my 3 old valves and he redid them all for me
All 3 valves are good right. I'll just spiff them up, and keep them for extras. Talk to him and see what he wants to do. Paul
am i wrong, what all can go bad on them? i thought it was mainly where the cable goes in. all they do is slide up and down
If where the cable goes in is ok, and there is no gouges in the face of the valve. they'd be fine. Maxdlx
If you know they are good don't give no money back. What does the guy expect for 50 bucks. Tell him to price out new ones.
SXRSIST,
I dont want to get in the middle of this issue, but the guy you sold the power valves to is a friend of mine. He is a stand up guy. I was with him the day he took his power valves out for a cleaning and noticed one of them had the cable pulled through. I suggested to him that he look on TY for a used power valve.
I did not know about his concerns with the p valves he bought from you until I saw this thread and called him today. I have not seen the p valves. He tells me that one of the p valves has had the cable pulled through and another looks like it was starting to pull through.
I think this is best to be worked out between the two of you. In the future for both buyers and sellers, I do not think you can have too many pictures, details,or questions asked about the item you are buying or selling.

He got them for 50 bucks there should be no complaining. If he wants to complain tell him to go the the dealership and order some new ones.

there was not a cable that pulled threw. i actually removed one from the cable to see if they aere the same as the srx ones. and the cable i pulled out was very tight. listen. 3 complete cables 1 screw as stated.3 valves, a little dirty but good, for 50.00. . I was trying to help him out and i asked 3 times that what was actualy wrong with them and he would not tell me. finally he replies saying he doesnt know why he should tell me that i already know what was wrong with them. i am sorry but when i get a smart alek replie like that i kinda lost it. Now if i took them back how am i to know if i am getting mine back or his screwed one. i know there was not any pulled out. I honestly thought i was doing him a favour for selling him all that stuff for 50.00. i was wrong , now its a big hastle. I suggested selling them to maxdlx and if paul thought they were not worth 50.00 for everything i would pay paul,i know he is a stand up guy. He even complained that they were dirty, REALLY, am i gonna spend time to make them spick and span clean for 50.00. And they were not that crusty, came out of a running sled?? I am done, chocking it up to bad experiance. i dont understand him. he wants his money back and said he would pay for shipping, after he pays the 10.00 shipping he will have 40.00 into them, why bother??? And like i said. that the cables were not threw???

i wouldn't give him the money back 2 valves and cables are still worth 50 bucks he's lying and just trying to screw you
I am sorry. I really feel bad that both of you guys feel like you were had. I have delt with nothing but really good people on this site and I hate to see this kind of thing happen.
I am going to have to go and see these power valves now.
