Some exchange rates....

USD >> Malta Liri


Daily averages: 10/08/2004 0.34830

01/25/2005 0.33130

Looks like it was 540 Liri to send, but the return will be about 513 Liri.....about 81 USD less than he sent.

Hey Guys, Sorry for the late reply. I got a swift transfer to my bank but as yet I don't know the originator. The amount was of 417Maltese Liri.
When I sent the $1550 to Trent, 558Maltese Liri got deducted from my account.
If that is in fact Trent's mony i received, then I have 141ML LESS, which are equivalent to 141ML /0.33130 = $425 LESS

These Coilovers will cost me well over $1800 inc shipping if I buy them from somewhere else, If this will not resolve, a Set of TEIN FLEX COILOVERS will cost me $1800 + 425 = 2.22G. Do you think these coilovers are worth that much
If this get resolved and get my FULL MONEY REFUND, To buy them again, I will still be with a -$225 in my account and without the 8" Rockford-Fosgate Punch Z subwoofer.


I PM'ed TRENT with this statement and he is looking into it . Am not saying the swift transfer was Trent's but i wasn't expecting any money, and christmas is over. CROSS FINGERS.

so he didn't send the sub either???

Trip shouldn't you be able to cross refernce the wire transfer # that Trent sent with your bank - or in the very least can't your bank tell you what bank sent the funds - If he screwed you out of $425 then i think we may need to calling again

sorry for your misfortune, i have been following this thread, and i hope you get ALL your money back, and i don't know why there are so many shady things going on. i would think that it is not that hard to give you back your money in 1 fell swoop. i want this thread to die already.

but anyways, if that is $2200 for coils that go for around ~$1200, that is a lot of loot even if it was with the edfc for that price. i can't believe with the exchange rate and taxes could cause that item to balloon to nearly double the price, but i don't know much about that stuff. here, i will pm you someone who gets tein brand new for cheap. it, he is a board vendor from socal, but it is between you and him if he will ship international.

gary is his name.
he got me a GREAT price on brand new tein RA's.
his s2ki handle is GHS2K

peace, and good luck

The Saga continues with TRENT.
Good news. I got the money
Bad news. He sent $250 less (excluding charges)

As I previously stated, I paid LM558 for these, and what do I get Lm419.

He had to pay me AT LEAST $1550. Instead what did this kid send ???





Unbelievable

I think the proof is in the pudding on this one - not only does he not refund your money or offer any interest lost on 3 months worth of cash, he then sends you LESS than you payed him?

Who does this guy think he is? I expect a MOD to chime in here any time now.

I don't think the mods are protecting him and i was mistaken to orig think so.. One mod who i now have a new found respect for was simply trying to protect the BOARD by keeping this thread civil..

I received this PM from Trent this morning stating that he will fix the issue at hand and send Trip more money -

this is not good news

trip i feel bad for you having to put up with this, i would have blown a fuse by now if i where you.

trent now has an even bigger issue to see to, trying to explain why he was sending you $250 less than what you origonaly paid him.....

i hope he does not come out with some like, "that money was for the 3 shipping attempts" which he did not do as we have seen no such evidence.

c'mon mods. this has gone too far now.
