Question Wrong set

I ordered a set of Tip pedals and guess what? Yes I got a set for M/T. This is a copy of an e-mail I sent for him through ebay:
>I ordered a set of A/T pedals through group buy, but you sent me a set of M/T pedals. I got them today. How I'm gonna get them exhanged for the correct ones?

Any idea what else to do?? And before you ask I did specify A/T and it was in paypay email too.
Copy of paypal email:
>Amount: $105.00 USD
>Note:1 Set of porsche pedal tip(a/t)
>Event Date: Jun. 26, 2007

When did you contact him? I guess I'd give him a few days to respond.. hopefully he'll do the right thing by you and swap them out.. He's seemed pretty reasonable so far.. Given how many pedals this group has bought (in total),
you'd think he'd want to keep our business...

I'm sure someone here will grab those from you in a heartbeat.
Less the hassle and cost of shipping them back to Taiwan.
Then you could order another set from him, maybe with a special discount for the inconvenience.

Our next meeting is Saturday. I would think I'll be able to sell them then.

I just hate to wait a week again... To order a new set...

Thanks Dutchie, but no need we'll work this out. I think he already has shipped the replacement and I'll try to sell these @PCA members breakfast on Sat and pay him then. I just have to wait extra week

Think somewhere in the thirties or so... kind of lost count.

kind of bumped that we I couldn't get more money off (trust me I tried!), but oh well, for the price I really do like these!

We've got to do more group buys!

That's a pretty respectable number. Nice job! Yeah, for those kind of numbers you'd think that he would have brought the price down some more. Oh well. Next time.

I was showing the new pedals to a friend and we came to the conclusion that there's little left that actually needs doing to my car at this point. I don't know what I'd do that could make it look any better than it does.

Well, since you have run out of things to do on your car, you should buy mine and start the process all over again.

Nice try Tim!

Much as I love the look of your car, the current plan is to keep this car for a couple more years, then trade for a Carrera S.

Thumbs up Wrong ones

Well I got my Tiptronic set today and a friend of mine will buy M/T set from me, so everything ended up OK

Thanks Dutchie.

This guy was really great. He corrected his mistake superfast and I got a little discount for my wait (and he got an extra sale)

Now I have to get to Lowe's for the hardware. Pics to follow.
