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.

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!

Dude i was interested on the Tanabe Coilovers they had for sale in their website, I told they guy i was going to pay him with money order, and that i couldnt do it at that time cause i was at work, he said yeah when i got home that afternoon, i had the moneyorder ready i decided to go online and for my surprise the coilovers had sold writen under them. that fuc*ing sucked. I called the guy and he said that he had a better offer.
