[ot]Airing out the dirty laundry
Dirk:
Greetings!
For what it's worth...many of us (me included) weighed in with what we think is
a valid defense of you and your practices. We all know how much you've helped
so many of us in the past, and many of us appreciate it beyond measure. :) I
believe the consensus was that there must be a more reasonable explaination as
you were not in the habit (at all!) of frauding people. Best of luck
in the new year!!!
Thanks Dirk.

>> Well I am tired of waiting for this guy.

> > a rat is a rat." This seller did not do right by me
>> and now here comes the story....
>>
>> I got this nice 84Jetta w/a 16V. Really clean for a
>> car w/360K miles on it. So I asked around for Euro
>> Jetta lights, and this guy is known for getting the
>> goods and cheaply too. So he quotes me $240 shipped
>> for new lights, corners, grill and plastic surrounds.
>> Great price, I am psyched to get them and send the
>> check out right away.
>>
>> The package arrives packed well and I check out the
>> stuff. For some crazy reason I thought that the grill
>> was gonna be new too, but thats not my beef at all. It
>> did have a busted tab, but not a biggie. Everything is
>> in good shape and the lights are brand new.
>>
>> I got help installing them at a guy's house that I met
>> from vortex. We take off the old lights and soon
>> realize that the left Euro light is wrong. Its not an
>> H4 lens. It looks like the correct part and even says
>> jetta light but, does not accept H4 bulbs, it takes
>> T8s. The two hella boxes are different for the right
>> and left lenses.
>>
>> At this point I am bummed b/c I have the American spec
>> lights out and cannot put in the Euros. The guy that
>> is helping me also has a Mk1 Jetta and the left Euro
>> lens. He lends me the light just so we can finish the
>> job.
>>
>> Soon after I tell Dirk Schnieder (the seller) about
>> the mix up. He offers to send me another lens after I
>> send pics providing proof of the mix up. I go ahead
>> and win an action on German eBay for the lens and get
>> it shipped for $39 Euros. I wanna replace the one that
>> was lent to me asap. Later I send a dozen pics of the
>> bad light to Dirk and have not heard from him since.
>>
>> WTF ? In one email he tells me something to the effect
>> that its not his fault. I tell him to send me $50 to
>> make this right. He sent the wrong part and that the
>> size of things. I paid for two new lights and have one
>> new and one old.
>>
>> Am I outta line to expect some cash back ?
