Yet another Ebay bargain buy....

[andyj]

Happened to be flicking through eBay earlier, when I spotted some Mk2 Leon FR front and rear brakes (inc discs & pads) ending within 1hr, and only at £1.23 + P&P....

So I put in a cheeky bid thinking I'd get out bid, not that bothered if I was....

Ended up winning them for £5 + £30 p&p

Bargain of the century in my book.... as I've now got 312mm fronts and the larger rears, for not alot at all

 

[Fl@pper]

gonna rip out that freaking cable of yours - lol

 

[andyj]

jealousy is a very bitter thing

 

[Fl@pper]

lol nice grab though

just leave that austin seven fuel tank alone

 

[andyj]

Don't think it will fit the Altea....

 

[Toxic]

nice catch, did thebrake come with Carriers and Splash guards for the rear?

 

[andyj]

SEAT LEON FR 2.0 TFSI FRONT & REAR BRAKE SET UP

REMOVED FROM 57 PLATE MODEL

YOU ARE BIDDING ON FRONT & REAR CALIPARS WITH PADS, FRONT& REAR DISCS

NOT COVERED MANY MILES STILL LOADS OF WEAR LEFT ON PADS

COULD BE PERFECT UP GRADE FOR SEAT LEON SPORT

So yes to the carriers, but not sure on the splash guards.... might be giving David a call to order a pair Any idea on the parts numbers for them?

EKTA shows same part for 255 or 286 rear brake dust shield. No carriers as such listed on EKTA only different items for 256/288 are pads?

I'm not so sure that they're going to turn out to be the bargain I thought they were......

I emailed the seller on Friday to confirm the postage costs, but have heard nothing from him.....

Mind you, I have Paypal'd him the £££ as per what he'd set up the auction to be....

We shall see Watch this space !!!!

 

[Toxic]

they are differ Crispdust. the 255 ones are easy to put on/off. the 286mm ones however are put on behind the hub. easy fix is to cut into the small part of the space and slip them on/off

the part numbers on mine from a Mk5 GTI (same as the MK3 Toldeo/Mk2 Leon part numbers) are:

1K0 615 611 P
1K0 615 612 P

He's probably sat in the corner of a very dark room clutching your brakes and crying

Excellent, thanks for the Part Numbers mate

Will wait for the brakes to arrive first, before ordering those bits from David!

 

[andyj]

I knew it was too good to be true, just had this message fro the Seller on eBay....

hi not sure how you won when they were on a buy now for £80, can refund your payment or you can buy for buy now price? thanks

There was no BIN on the auction at all... I guess he forgot to put one, and then didn't realise until after the auction had ended.

What do you guys reckon I should do??

Is it worth contesting it....

 

[Crafoo]

I would make a fuss and see if you get anywhere, it's a poor excuse at best in my opinion. He knew full well it wasn't BIN listing he was caught out and that's the chance you take when you list an item.

 

[Viking]

Kick up a stink and make his life hell. You won 'em fair and square, and he's probably gonna try and wrangle out of it. Might as well have some fun to boot.

 

[meltonlad]

if there was no reserve price on it then what you paid is all he will get.. as per ebay rules. save all the mails you get from him. he just trying to take the p!ss out of you .... i say fook him his problem.

 

[MJ]

HA HA! thats awesome!

Well in my opinion:

ebay and paypal will both support you because the buyer must provide the item once the auction has ended, for the price the item ended at without debate, unless a reserve was set or he'll have to provide a refund and you both have to mutually agree to cancel the auction.

Also as a buyer on ebay now - you cannot be left negative feedback by the seller, however you can still leave negative for them.

The easyiest thing to do would be to accept the refund and mutually cancel the transaction and put him out of his misery, but then again that'd be no fun, would it?

 

[googies]

Hang him out for what you won! Fair deal IMHO.

Rules are rules. Not your fault he forgot to complete the process properly. Pursue it.
