Parts is Parts
Received the first of my three parts, bought on e-bay from "vanhelsingonline" in Rhode Island. I haven't unwrapped it, yet, but, through the green overwrap and bubble wrap, it looks to be in excellent condition. Here's hoping the hood and front bumper cover are in great condition as well, and that they arrive soon. I'm getting excited about putting the "evil twin" right again. Gone will be the dent in the arch of the passenger's fender, the visible "crumple zone" flex and bent lip on the hood and the cracking, chipping paint of the front bumper -- oh, and the "cookie cutter" hole from Peter's (the previous owner) friend's Jeep that did the damage to the front. I can hardly wait.

Are the parts pearl, or will you have to have them painted? Good luck with the project. It always feels good to have them fixed. I find myself looking at them more! (if that is possible).

Awesome, Randy! As Earl asked, are you going to have to paint the parts?

The deal of a lifetime! All parts are Pearl, so, I won't have to paint. Paid 383.00 for all three with FREE SHIPPING!
I'm a cappy hamper.

Nope, but I've been in touch with Jesse. He's offered to do some "enforcement" for me, if the guy doesn't send the remainder of the parts soon. It's been over a month now, and I've only gotten two of the three (pass'r's front fender). I've written him and asked for some assurance that the remainder are forthcoming. I hope to hear from him soon. His last response was that he was "overwhelmed" and the hood was being "packaged by MBE." We shall see.

Randy,
If it helps any, I'm having a similar issue with vanhelsingonline..."won" a TCU from him and then he wanted to charge me $15 to ship it (I've already checked with the Post Office and Priority Mail for it only runs $3.85). He is very, very slow to respond to emails.... -Bill

Glad to know that someone else is in the "loop." My guess is (in my case), he had a "Buy it now" price and boasted "Free shipping with 'Buy it now.'" After he found out what shipping was going to cost, he may have gone, "uh-oh!" In your case, he apparently didn't care to price it as "shipping and handling." I've had to remove a TCU. It ain't fun for a fat boy like me, so, tacking on 11.15 labor ain't bad, in my opinion. I recently "won" a charging cradle for my former PDA. It cost me ten dollars and ten cents. Ten cents for the unit, ten dollars for shipping. However, since they don't make them any more, I still felt good about the purchase. I hope you get things straightened out soon, as well as myself. Anyone else?

van-rip-off-online
I too have had/am still having frustration w/Franklin Busi(his name for those who care).
July 8th I "won" an a/c condensor thru ebay from him. After numerous phone calls w/him(yes I DO have his # if anyone would like it!) numerous conversations w/his wife/Mom?, way too many emails, I finally got a UPS tracking # that is real. My part is supposed to be on my door step Wednesday, according to UPS!!YEAH!!! I say real because he(MBE) supposedly shipped my part to an incorrect address by the USPS, NOT UPS! (Since when does MBE use the USPS?) I've gotten so frustrated w/ him I reported him to ebay and started abitration against him. It's sad when "people don't hold up their end of the bargain", especially when it pertains to our beloved SVX's! Hope everyone in the future doing business w/him has smoother, less frustrating stories than I! mile-hi-bri - Brian |

Yeah, more disappointment. And he seemed like such a nice guy.
My last conversation with him (about a month ago) he told me he had finally shipped the Hood and the bumper. He kept telling me what a pain the hood was to ship -- He said he had it packed by MBE but it was too expensive to ship via MBE or UPS. He said he had to borrow a pickup truck to take it to a freight company for shipping. Was very convincing. Said he'd shipped the bumper via FedEx ground. I failed to get a tracking number or the freight company's name -- my fault. After two weeks, and no bumper, I knew I'd been duped. E-mails threatening suit for mail fraud (insisted on payment via USPS money order) have seen no response and his phone number now says that his "mailbox is full". He wouldn't be sending to a wrong address, since my fender made it to my house. I really want the parts more than I want my money back. Jesse? Wanna do some "enforcement" for me? I'm REALLY disappointed. Not mad. Just disappointed.

Man, that sucks, Randy. Even worse than waiting forever and getting nothing is somebody who tells you it's been shipped and goes through a long, made up story about it.
Boo. Off with his head.
