anyone interested in a z1? a buddy of mine was VERY! he called me one day and said he had found an avic z1 on ebay for 957 this was before the z2 bypass. i told him that at that price it was either used, refurbished, or stolen! of course he went for it and low and behold the unit shows up and...

the back casing (the strongest part of the unit) was cracked in like 3 places like it was rear supported and simply "yanked" out. i told him that it didnt look that bad so i test it on my bench. it powers up and i hit the eject button.. the face moves about 2 inches down then gets stuck. then i realize that part of the "slide" part of the faceplate is bent and partially broken.

i havnt tried to bend the face back into position but he finally got done with paypal. they siad he needs to get his money back from the seller, ya right. that guys long gone.

so anyways he asked me if i could sell it, so if any of yall are interested let me know

then again i might just put it on ebay like the original seller.

HE ACTUALLY WROTE IN THE DISCRIPTION "USED BUT IN GREAT CONDITION!"

If your buddy paid paypal through a credit card, he can also attempt to reverse the charges by filing a complaint with the CC company.

thx for tha tip itchy!

i take it youve had ebay troubles as well?

last time i had trouble with a guy on ebay - i tried to leave negative feedback and ebay gave me the option of getting his info and settling it civil. ebay sent me an email with his adress and phone number.. i called the guy, and talked to his dad (because the guy was 15) and his dad took care of it for me..

yup. that' why I always use a CC. It saved me a few times. I learned my lesson hard way - losing $1000 on a phantom IVA-D300 flip out screen a couple years ago. Fortunately the guy ripped off so many people that the feds got to him, charged him, and I still get notices from the judicial system on his prison status.

lol itchy

thats cool he got caught

i bought my refurb on ebay and its great! as good as new!

Hmm... Does this fall under, "If the deal, looks too good to be true, it probably is"?

sorry, 20-20 hindsight.

wow, as usual ebay blows. hate to say it, your friend got what he deserved. BUT he can dispute with paypal, item not as described, valid reason for refund.

that is why i don`t do ebay.

Ebay is like some twisted form of spin the bottle...but instead of having to make out with the fat chick for free you get stuck with some worthless crap

I got myZ2 off ebay as well. $1,400.00 brand new in full retail package. Very happy with the man. If you like to look the seller up use 250153102709 in the search box.

I have had close to 300 ebay transactions and only 1 went bad. And I was partialy refunded by ebay for that one. I bought a Z1, D2, 2 XM nav traffics, and a bunch of other stuff.

ebay only sucks if you dont know how to use it. if u know how it owns.

yes ebay isnt really for the masses.

from a sellers perspective i hate buyers. man whenever i see a bidder with 0 feedback im praying that some one will outbid them...

i usually ebay stuff in bulk an everytime theres a dummie. makes me wanna become a scammer

yea moron newbie ebayers dont know how to use it and then leave negative feedback when its their own fault.

haha your a funny person. the WHOLE idea is to make it easy for the casual shopper to the veteran seller/buyer. It is so stupid to even suggest that youd have to be experienced to shop with ebay. that sure as hell aint ebay's stance. The morons are the scam artists and general dishonest people that use ebay

I don't agree with this but do get annoyed with ebayers who are stupid with money or computers (or just plain stupid). I have had a few bad buyers. But if I remember correctly you can reject a bid or put criteria for bidders or something. You can also always email the bidder who has little experiences and ask some basic questions.

YA SPOL

im deffinetly checking the "only takes bidders with feedback" button next time i ebay.

the same guy i started this post about called me yesterday and said how much for your d3's. i said 850. he said...

"i can get them on ebay right now for 400" lol

wow i just read tills post and am infuriated! lol j/k

but a litle test till

call your grandma and tell her to order anything off of ebay and lets see how far she gets. or even (depending on how old u are) ask your parents to do anything on ebay. then well see how great ebay is to newbs lol
