Default I can't believe how TPS' have jumped in price!

I remember when a TPS was like only $60. Now I seem them in the $80-$90 range! What the crap happened? Did the price of ABS plastic and wires just increase in conjunction with gas prices???

They do use oil in plastics, so Im sure that has something to do with it.

ANDY SERRATO sold me a set of used 944 rotors that are in garbage shape and he is unwilling to refund part of my money.

Your post has been reported to the moderator thoen. I have been communicating with you through private messaging. If you continue to harass me, I will take this to a further level.

Your purchase was legitimate and sold AS IS. The condition was made apparent to you prior to any purchase. I'm sorry for your frustrations, but DO NOT EVER TRY AND PROVOKE ME ON THIS FORUM.

This thread is closed....

I have heard both sides of the story on this one - and Mongo & thoen, I'd suggest you work it out in private OFF THIS FORUM. When you DO communicate with each other - I would also strongly suggest you copy in my admin e-mail (admin@rennlist.com). Know both sides of this issue puts me in a difficult position, but since the two of you have done so - I'll expect both to respect my e-mail after you two have had a chance to chat off-line, with copies to my e-mail address above.

Thanks - and have a good evening,

John
