I asked this guy to bore out my RenixTB. He wanted to charge me $100 for the service.

Fortunately, Dave (on this forum) was kind enough to do my Renix for much cheaper.

I looked at that the other day. Let me know how yours turns out.

im still waiting for it to get back. i sent it out last tuesday. hoping to get it before the weekend.

Anyone interested in a Renix TB send me a PM and I'll get back to you. By the way, I'm the "Dave" in the post by whitey2001. Thanks Jason.

still waiting...
guy promised me a week max. ill give him a couple more days till i email him to see whats up.
maybe im just being impatient. hate paying for something up front. not to mention he's got my core too. only thing stopping him from keeping my money and core is one bad rating on his ebay.

He was slow to respond to me when I asked him about boring my Renix TB so I went over to read his ratings. He had mixed reviews that mainly focused on timing. Some people said it was super fast, others said it took forever. I did not see a single one that said he kept their core.

I think his promise of a week is once he receives it, he will have it completed and ready to ship. So with your shipping to him , the week of work and then the time to ship back. it may be 2-3 weeks total.

thanks for the post whitey cause i have been getting a little weary about this deal. i sent him an email 2 days a go. i asked him if there was any update on my TB. no response yet.

this sucks. guess you get what you pay for.

Anyone know how much a local machine shop would charge to bore out a TB?

The boring would be cheap i would assume. The actual cost (and the hardest part from what i understand) would be making a butterfly valve that works properly. They are oblong with two different angles to match the walls of the TB.

i have been wondering why it has been taking so long to get this TB. no answers to email. went in my ebay to investigate. i clicked on his username and i see "No longer a registered user". i am very concerned. what can i do?

Sorry to say but thats not a good sign at all... Sounds like he took your money and TB and RAN. I think you can file a complaint with paypal and get your money back at least ... but the TB you may never get back.

think i should try to contact him personally? i think i might have found his phone number online.

this guy was an ebay member since '99. why would he just up and leave now?

He may not have left, he may have been removed because of some of this shit he was doing.. Sure try to contact him whatever way you can.. if things still dont look good, then go through paypal.
