AFTER PAYPAL'D HE REPLIED SAYING "I TRIED TO SHIP IT TODAY BUT THE ZIP DID NOT MATCH THE STATE. PLEASE GIVE IT TO ME AGAIN".

So I did, and it was fine in the last PM. Another member asked how the sale was going because he was worried. AND BOMBERMAN TOLD THE SAME THING TO HIM.

Bomberman, please clear this up. There's no proof but it's now suspected that you order these online and then resell with a markup.... VERIFY YOUR MOLDING MACHINE PLEASE.
I am the "other" member. My issue was a little different but essentially the same. I sent him the money via PayPal mid last week. He told me he'd ship it out the next day. I asked him to provide a tracking number or confirmation that the item shipped. He did not send anything. I asked him again yesterday to provide some sort of confirmation that the item shipped and was on it's way, he then responded by telling me the item was shipped but was sent back to his "warehouse" because they said that no such address was found. Then I found out that he basically told WyattH the same thing. Seems like he's using this excuse to delay shipping out the lips. Could it be because he ordered them off Ebay and then reselling them? I think that's a strong possibility...

Now, I sent him my address via PayPal when the money was sent, I also emailed it as well as sending it to him via PM. All 3 were correct. I have items delivered to my address ALL the time without problems.

I've already requested that he keep the lip and refund my money. If this isn't taken care of today, I'll file a dispute with PayPal (which I'll probably do regardless).

Well, I didn't order on eBay directly because there was no vendor that people had consistently good experiences with. I wanted to KNOW what I was getting. And people have always said Bomberman's lips were good.
If only I knew his source... Because we aren't so sure he has the $7K mold machine he claims.

135 is expensive for a replica when they sell for 70 bucks shipped on ebay.

looks like bomberman might be markin em up, but again until he clears it up no one knows.

you could have ordered here and been safe

I decided to pay the extra $$ because a lot of people vouched for the fitment of the lips Bomberman was selling. I've heard the horror stories of many of the ebay lips so a little extra cost was ok. I should have known better.

basically a replica is a replica, for 66 bucks shipped, you could have two chances at getting a good lip. As long as you order from a vendor where they dont BEND the lip you should be getting a decent fitting lip. even bombermans lips werent perfect. you still had to use some cheap metal brackets and drill into the lip to mount it up. which i had to do with my friends replica lip to. so it kinda makes me think that the lips that bomberman sells are the same as the vendors. so it could just be a dropship and he is making the profits. i dont know. he will have to confirm

best bet is to just order from a vendor online because even some of those ebay vendors have return policies. they might not be the best but you get your money back.

btw it wasnt a little extra cost it was double the cost lol

Just picked up my bumper and Veilside wing (not installed). The Amuse style lip looks great!

I have closer shots if you guys want them.

Painter installed it without 3M tape. Did a good job, it fits well.

Well after a back and forth discussion with myself and bomberman, he agreed to refund the money. I still say there is something "odd" with the whole situation, but I have no hard proof. He did refund the money without much fuss so I'll give him credit for that.
