Thumbs down takara garage

I know this might not belong here but they do sell "drifting" parts. A few weeks ago I bid on 2 works 5 spoke wheels on eBay. I bid 102.50 and won. I promley e-mailed them asking when I can come pick them up for 102.50. I got an e-mail back saying that since i'm picking them up it will cost me 150 dollars instead of 182.50 if I had them shipped. I e-mailed them back that I won it for 102.50 and that's what I want to pay for it. He responded with he’s giving me 50% off of what’s on the website and that I’m trying to rip him off. He told me also that I wasn’t cooperating with him. He also said he will find another buyier if i dont buy them for 150 dollars.

I don’t get how he made a mistake of not putting up a reserve or even setting the starting bid higher.

From what I gathered they were trying to rip people off for shipping to make it seem like they are getting a better deal on the rims. Since I got my 16x7 16x8's shipped with tires from Cali for 40 dollars. They want 80 dollars for 2 15's.

here is the auction

If you ever get products with takara I hope you don’t have any problems with there products cause there customer service is really bad.

too bad....I was thinking about getting some wheels from them since they're pretty local.

are you gonna pay the extra $50 for the wheels?

no i really didnt want to spend over the amount i paid for them. i dont think i should lose because they forgot to put a reserve. if they were a good buisness they would bite the bullet and lose 50 dollars. i would have gotten more rims and recomended them to my friends.

I've met the guy. Its an out-of-garage operation. You shouldn't be responsible for his errors. He could have also added a pick up fee, but that would have to have been listed in the auction. That's a shame. He's trying to fill a niche market, and can't get organized enough to be successful. Just refuse them and leave bad feedback on forums until he settles with you. That's the american way!
