FEEL FREE TO BUY FROM CAPT.CRISPY WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
IGNORE THIS THREAD - HE HAS COME THROUGH IN A WAY COMPLETELY SATISFACTORY TO MY NEEDS. HE IS AN UPSTANDING SELLER, AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS AGAINST HIM, AND WOULD GLADLY DO BUSINESS WITH HIM AGAIN!!
So here's the deal. capt.crispy lists an RCS 400lb 2.5" stroke Titanium spring for sale on the classifieds for $75. Knowing this is a good deal on the spring I've been looking for, I snatch it up from him immediately.
He ships promptly, and all seems well until I open the package. The spring does not look anything like a 2.5" stroke spring, nor does it look like it's 400lb. Sure enough, I measure it, and it's 2.25" stroke. No big deal, I can still use it and just sacrifice some preloadability.
So I mount it on my bike and sit on it. 50% sag (at least). Bad. I had a 450lb RCS Ti spring on there, and was barely getting 30% sag (which was why I was shopping for a 400lb). Doing some simply math knowing that springs are roughly linear in their normal travel, I figure the spring to be 275lb.
"Okay, I'll just contact him and get my money back."
I email his Paypal email address - no response
I email his contact email - no response
I try to contact him through Ridemoney - no response
I file a Paypal claim - it's been 7 days since I opened the Paypal claim with no response from the seller. I am escalating to a claim right now.
I started this business feeling really optimistic, and even optimistic when I found out there was a problem, having full faith that this guy would sort things out since it was his error. Boy was I wrong. This guy just wants your money, and then wants to ignore you when he sells you something other than what he was advertising.
DO NOT BUY FROM CAPT.CRISPY
I don't care what kind of rep he has on the forums - he is the worst kind of seller.
