I've bought and sold many things on e46f... only once did I have an issue. It's always a roll of the dice, but if he has a good rating, and you see how long they've been on and what his posts are, you can generally get a feeling.

Heh, the purchase in question was a set of AL headlights. I always get skeptical when people search you out and offer to sell you stuff, especially when you can't find said item posted for sale... It wasn't like I was searching or replied to a FS thread he had posted.
Long story short, I did purchase them. They arrived, packaging looked good, but of course, one of the headlights was hammered, like it had been dropped. He tried to say it was shipping damage, but the other one was PERFECT and there was no drop evidence anywhere on the packaging... Tabs on the headlight housing cracked, and the inner projector unit (the part that swivels up and down for the height adjustment had 2 of the 3 tabs severely broken... Luckily, I was able to source necessary parts and the cracked pieces in order to glue it all back together.
So, my passenger headlight is half plastic, half loktite...
Needless to say, he didn't get good iTrader...
But of mention, I since purchased an autoleveling motor (for this same headlight...) from another person, and wow what amazing service. Shipped fast, packed well, and great communication. He even sent me an email with pics of item, packing, and the overall box that would arrive at my door... That member is jack.chris328 out of San Diego area... Outstanding seller!
Anyway... By the time I'm all said and done, I have about $1000 into my headlights alone... I should've just sprung for the brand new Magneti Marellis in the first place... Would've cost about the same!

Jupiter, you mean you have $1,000 into both sets of your headlights.. right?
Anywho, I purchased some tires off of someone on E46F today. They were a pleasure to deal with and since I didn't have all the money right when I wanted them so they let me put a $100 deposit on them for them to hold the two tires for another week. Finished the purchase today after paycheck and apparently my tires were shipped out immediately there after.

Eh, its close to it just in the lights I'm keeping, and about $250 in retrofit goodies... Of course, the countless hours of time spent doing the retrofit really aren't reflected... Oh well.

This thread isn't going to help if you don't include the username from whom you made the good/bad purchase from.

Ideally, there should be more good purchases than bad. Why would I post the name of a person I had a pleasant transaction with? So people can haggle them to potentially sell something else? I don't know about you but I think only posting bad transactions and their names will be the benefit here so that people can avoid them. Wasn't this the point of the thread? To avoid bad sellers?Originally Posted by danewilson77
I just posted my story because I had a nice transaction on E46F, which is a forum that some people have trouble trusting other people on..
