Hello everybody,
I hope I am posting this topic on the right place in the forum.
I had a bad experience with an Ebay seller and I am posting some details here with hopes that other forum users will not be disappointed if they deal with this man. His name is Richard Klimekoski, address 671 Washburn road, Spencer, New York, 14893, phone 607 857 7458.
In the link
http://www.snimka.bg/?album;aid=718480you will see a part of our correspondence where I am asking about the condition of the engine and his answer. What I understand from his description is that this is a well running engine with no issues and clear oil. What I received you will see on the pictures was an engine with a clogged carburator, mixed coolant and oil. My mechanic told me that this engine have been overheated. I haven't checked the heads yet, but I hope they are OK.
The seller agreed to refund my money if I ship him back the engine. Since I live in Bulgaria (Europe) the shipping one way was approx $780. I paid duty and internal transportation - approx additional $300. So I explained him I just want a partial refund, but he refused.
I tried to open a case in Ebay, but since the engine had a long way to go until it arrive in Bulgaria I missed all the deadlines for opening a case.
With this topis I just want to help to some other people to be more careful if they decide to deal with this man.
Regards,
Peter
