Needing an LS1 MAF I placed ads on both LS1.com and CZ28.com, and then of course went with the guy who offered the lowest price ($50 shipped, wow). I paypal'ed him the money, and it came in a timely enough manner, despite looking like it must have come from Canada (though I'd thought the guy was from the Pacific NW, as he frequents one of those forums). That is, the ENDS came. I don't know about you guys, but myself and everyone else I know considers "MAF" to mean the ends AND the electronic sensor part. When I pm'd him he said he thought I just wanted the ends and he'd send the sensor part to me, and asked what year I wanted. Uhh.... WTF, how bout the sensor that went with these ends??!?! So I just told him it was for my GN and I needed an LS1 sensor. I even offered to paypal him back the shipping on this one.
This was about a month ago. A couple weeks back I pm'd him and asked him if he had sent it. He said yes, he'd get me a tracking #, but never did. Several days later I told him since it still hadn't arrived, I'd take that tracking #. Nothing. So another PM from me. He replies that customs has it and he'd keep in touch. My mind's translation: "I never sent it, I'm screwing you, and I'll never message you again". This was 2 days ago.
My very restrained, nice as I can be reply would sound something like: "I don't suppose I need to tell you what a crock that sounds like. If you don't have the sensor, I'd just like my $50 paypal'ed back to me. If I don't hear from you in 48 hours, I'll go under the assumption you're ripping me off, and you'll know when I reach that conclusion". At that point I would post all over both F-body boards blacklisting him. I have not sent any reply yet, should I say something else? In a couple of weeks, not having an LS1 MAF is going to really screw w/ my car plans and I'll be further pissed.
Sigh, guess it's back to the boards I go to see if I can get one for real this time. I don't want to spend $150 (or $200 total) to get a new one. I guess it'll be about $120 for a used one.
