Title: GOBSMACKED..
Post by: deeman on February 07, 2012, 10:17 AM
just got woken up by the postie,was most happy to find a box from Taiwan,as i'd ordered some ACS locking levers off ebay.'Quite a large box',i thought for a pair of levers.Anyway,as im unpacking the box i pull out...some newspaper,then..a grip!some more newspaper..another grip!then an ACS locking lever,then another...more newspaper...then,another pair of ODYSSEY RX-3 locking levers,all brand new!!I only ordered the ACS levers!the fellas return address is on the parcel.Question is....how many of you would send the extra levers and grips back??!!the thing is,i can actually use the oddy levers!! :angel: >:D

send seller a message he may not want them back?  or negotiate a deal to keep them.

Plan B just keep them as he probably ripped you off on posting anyway and you paid big for the original levers ,  You thought you were buying a job lot of stuff :LolLolLolLol:

i paid 65 quid for them,but i'd been searching months and they are the last part i needed for the build,they were worth that to me!they ended at 4am,i had to put a big bid in before i went  to bed and hope for best! :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: GOBSMACKED..
Post by: skywaaay on February 07, 2012, 07:10 PM
yeh been there,putting the big bid in and hoping for the best.
interested to know the price as ive got some myself I was going to sell but ive never seen any so dont know what theyre worth.Not as nice as those though,they look real bling. :D
were they that much cause theyre nos or cause theres not many about?

I would mail him saying 'thanks for the extra gifts, very kind of you, top man'.         

If he says 'your welcome'....         you've had a result
If he says 'please send the extras back'......           tell him he needs to paypal you the postage first, which is £65  ^"^

Post by: deeman on February 07, 2012, 07:45 PM
bit of both really!what they go for on the bay aint necessarily what theyre worth!good thing about them is although there are no date stamps on em i know i got mine in 85 when they were fresh out!!so they are good for 85 bikes if you want lockers but dont wanna go down the tech 77 route like i did first!are your ones black/silver'my first ones were,i wanted white but they sold the only white pair before i got there,so i was stoked to find the white! :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: GOBSMACKED..
Post by: skywaaay on February 07, 2012, 08:06 PM
mine are white too and in pretty good nick although not shiny like yours,and I think your bang on about 85.Mine came off an 85 haro sport I bought a while back.Most of the parts on it would have dated from around 85 and were non original to the bike.
What would you put a white pair,say condition about  8/10 up for?

The seller obviousley just made a mistake that he has no chance of finding out about or proving now.
It's not like he could come across any evidence like pics in a thread on one of the biggest osbmx sites in the world to back him up or anything.
Sure is unlucky for him that no guys from overseas ever come on and check this place out. :LolLolLolLol:
