Re: IML: More calipersonline



Hi Kenyon:
I only paid for one set. I will return the second set.
They accidentally shipped me $780 worth of parts (2 re-built calipers at $190 each + the core charges for each at $200 each) and I paid by money order so it is not like they can even bill my credit card for more money.
Like I said, a little communication goes a long way.
One call or one e-mail and there would have been no confusion. I certainly tried at my end.

I predict that you can resell your second set for at
least what you paid for them, maybe a fair bit more if
you word your auction well. They fit AMX cars as
well, and are very scarce as we all know.

There are folks that do go on ebay but don't put in
the energy here. I have a set coming as partial
barter for the 50 cores I sent in.

Am undecided about warehousing or flipping.
