Not mine, don't blame me if something goes wrong... the guy does have a Negative comment... which... I currently have 300+ positives and ZERO negatives... so his track record isn't so great.

why the heck would anyone bid more than $50 if the auction states...

-----------------------------

Brand new OEM part from honda. Six speed titanium shift knob. I accept paypal. $5 will be added to winning bid for shipping. I have many of these if you would like to buy one for $50 before the auction ends, e-mail me and let me know.
-------------------------------

 

will be interesting to see if Ming responds to this thread... since it looks like he was the one who complained.

 

Yes, the Mingster thought he was screwed after many many weeks of money sent and no knob. After the Mingster threatened the guy with a law suit and complaints to paypal and eBay, the guy (Dave) sent it in a wrapper - no boxes, no nothing, just a wrapper.

I don't know if I would trust him again though...his emails (when he does respond after many weeks) seemed sincere enough, but it took 2 weeks after I threatened him for the knob to finally come. It's up to you.

 

I will take that as a roll of the dice if you wanna possibly loose 50 bucks go for it!

 

Guys, to chirp up in Richard's defense (MING)........ if I am not mistaken, he doesn't like or want to be called 'MING' Is that true Richard?

Apparently, there is another guy at his work who is actually called 'Ming', so that's where the confusion starts.

So, I hear it on good word that he likes to be called 'Richard' - his real name, or 'Mingster' his forum name.

Cheers

 

[joke]hey thanks Regis! [/joke]

 

thanks! nothing personal, it's just that we do have another member here whose screen name is ming so i figure it'll be easier not to get confused...and besides, people always get confused me with the pottery (china) and the dynasty - which FYI was ruled by the Chu family and was one of the worst dynasties in China's history. MING dynasty simply meant the "bright", "clear", or "light" dynasty contrary to what some of the emperors during that period did to his people my last name just happened to coincide with that chinese character (same word). Mingster was a nickname given to me in high school when i played on the basketball team, and it's got a friendly ring to it

Cheers

 

Hey Ming..I mean Mingster...no,no Richard...Dick? I thought we had this all figured out when you were thinking of a name for your company. I still have a vision of the "Big Dick Racing" glare shield just below my roofline (ROFLOL). But alas you went with Import Developement (I like I.D.C. is a better name by the way). If you do a glare shield (in silver) I'm in. As for the knob I told you that tactic worked with Dave. The Ti is a very high grade, 6AL4V. Don't think Honda would use such a high grade? Sure makes a difference though don't it?

P.S. Glad you finally got it, I was worried for ya.
