good deal for a no fuss bolt on header. If i weren't squabaling cash to get a tune i'd be all over this.

OK, I have a PM to youngw. The asking price is firm--it's a clearance deal, and I'd estimate the shipping between $75 and $100 in continental US.
Brownflyer, I'll keep you posted.

cheers,
Phil

Not that I regret the learning experience, but beware the hidden costs of a 200-buck header."

SO WHAT IS IT... 100 MILES OR A YEAR!!!???
I have 2 Megan headers. The one for sale has 100 miles of service in the car, the other one has been on my car for over a year. The one currently in my car is not for sale.
See this photo from my website:


The one for sale is the one on the left. Nothing fishy here, bucko.

So when is indy going to post a retraction of his accusation against me? If he'd checked my website he would have seen the photo I just posted. I have never, and will never, engage in dishonest trading here. This is a near-new $200 Megan (made in China) header and accessories. The DaveSport cat alone is worth $200+, and was in my car for about a week. I'm not selling these as new--they are used and the price reflects that.

Edited...Thanks for clarification. Dont appriciate being called a moron though. If I see someone trying to pull something, I call it... nobody likes getting ripped off. So for my gross mistake, I genuinely and humbly appologize for insinuating a dishonest seller. Thanks for a great price on the header. Good luck with the sale.

why don't you try doing adequate research and pm'ing the person before you crap all over their fs/ft thread. Use some common decency logic. :impatient

So DrPhilGandini has addressed the concern you raised so if you would go back and edit your post above I would appreciate it. Otherwise I have to agree that it didn't help the general consumer in the marketplace...only served to harm the seller by making him look like he's being dishonest.

A couple of options:

I can remove indy82799's post above and the follow up replies

OR

indy82799 can just edit his post and put a retraction at the top of the post indicating why the statement below it is being retracted. If this is done at the very top of the post it will assist the new member stumbling upon this sale to be brought up to speed immediately rather than looking further down into the thread to see some type of retraction.

Let me know which option people would prefer...my preference would be the latter since it documents all the communication.

Thanks

Mark

What the heck, put me down for #4. I would love to get this, but there is no way the others are going to let this deal slide. PM sent.

Thanks for the post retraction. As for PMs from other members...can we all take a minute to ask nicely before we go for the jugular? Its all in how we say it or, in this, how we take the time to notify someone of their error.

Regardless thanks for making the retraction
