Default FS: "Bling Parts" Boothe Silver Hood Crest and Slightly Smoked Taillights

Hello everyone, just doing a cleanout of the garage here...

I have a set of lightly smoked taillights for 996 Turbo or GT2 in good condition. One has the wiring with sockets, the other one is lens only.

$400 obo for the pair

I have a brand new Ralph Boothe silver hood crest for 996 still in the box. You cannot get these anymore since Porsche put the kabosh on the Boothe crests.

$350 obo

So after multiple emails, PM, and threat of filing fraud charges, I get the crest I paid you for weeks ago. That is sure no way to do business with other rennlisters. After your first excuse I told you no problem at all as we all have other stressors but after no package and excuses and several unreplied PM and emails I finally get it today.

Ignoring people when you screw up is NO WAY to do business here. Product is as advertised and very happy with it but would not do business again.

Mike, I hope your experience with Tyson is better than mine. I have spent thousands of dollars on parts and tens of thousands on cars with other Rennlsiters and never had such a horrible transaction. But for something a simple as this transaction and after getting excuses, ignored contact to find out status and asking for me to pay him through somebody else's paypal account you can understand my nervousness and frustration. Rennlisters are usually a great group that always overdeliver what they promise. This fell so short of that. It also didn't help my confidence either after I realized he had only been here for 2 months and made 20 posts (his first was a for sale post and 1/2 of his posts deal with selling). Should have known better.

Won't make the same mistake again.

Let me know if this develops into a situation that should be brought to the attention of the Admin.

Will do Lewis. As of now, I consider this closed as I received the item as described and am happy with it. Now I pray for Mikey

My 996 has a silver hood crest. Is this something abnormal?

Guys I'm not concerned at the moment. I'm sure that GTDeux is busy. Not everyone lives on the internet the way some of us (me included) do...

I'm sure he is but when you use up that excuse and then promise another delivery date that comes and goes and then return no emails or pm's you start to raise the nervous factor of the buyer that doesn't know you.

What a sec, who lives here? I gotta block this url from my browser
