OMFG ass.



I just won some tail lights for my vert, nice s5 ones https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

sorry i thought that might cause a problem but i couldnt go to ebay bc im here at work to get a better link.

here are our emails, read em bottom up bc thats how it sequenced them:



Where are you bc i used to work for ups and i know it wouldnt cost over $25 to send a package the size and weight required to fit these parts. I also know that ups ground packages are automatically insured for $100 so i know that theres no extra charge for that. Whats your zip code and what dimensions and weight are you using?



p.s. i know i got a great deal on the item you were selling, but that is the nature of ebay. sometimes you get a great deal and sometimes you dont, but that doesnt mean that you can jack the shipping costs up to offset your disappointment with the selling price. also, if youre taking such a loss on this transaction you should have set your reserve price higher.

curdep

looks like you'll be the one biting the bullet.

why dont you just buy that crap locally, im sure there are some ricer shops that sell that ****, I think Autozone/Pep Boys even sells that kind of stuff.

oh and the part about working for ups is true in case anyone thought i was maybe making it up to make a point

ricer stuff? these are stock headlight assemblies, corner lights, and side markers. the only thing after market are the clear corners that the guy decided to throw in with the other stuff. i checked a local junkyard and they would have to order the part, $130 for one headlight assembly, $238 new from vw.
