My first response to the pic of the dampner was Dammnn!!! Looks like hammer marks to me. Maybe he sent you the wrong balancer. But come on scorpion to sue is over the top. Its not an item I would want on my car, but he didn't go into detail on it either. His idea and mine would be totally different on good shape. Here's his ad:

I HAVE 2 BALANCERS 1 IS A B.H.J INTERNAL AND 1 IS A ATI EXTERNAL BOTH IN GOOD SHAPE WITH SFI STICKERS $125.00 EACH OR BOTH FOR $200.00 PLUS 9.95 SHIPPING

I think he should refund the money just to be honorable. But to sue over this is ridicules!!!!!!!!

I don't see how anyone could consider that damper to be in "GREAT" shape.

Dparker-

There is dialogue between these two parties. As I alluded earlier if Mr. Maner can prove he got screwed, I said I would help, and the same offer would extend to you Mr. Parker.

Thats what small claims court is for. It costs about $25 to file your suit in MD and for an extra $15.00 you can have the sheriff deliver the subpoena to the defendant-preferably at their place of employment.

Let me ask you this-is a trip to court worth it if it saves YOU from being the recipient of buggered up parts in the future? or a member of the racing community?

Some things you do over principle not dollars.

Been to small claims court and have 100% success record and it wasnt over the cash-it was because some joker thought he could pull a fast one-

Bet he thought otherwise when the garnishment hit his check.

M Maner- if you want to pursue and you have reasonable proof that you wre screwed, i'll help because maybe it will protect the next guy and thats worth it.

Your call PM me if you need help.

Hey Mike,

By your pic's, info, & correspondense to the seller & his remarks, it sure sounds like you are honest & a man of principal. The pic's are compelling as the dampener looks beaten like a red head step child. If it were me, I would want to be the first person to lighten a flex plate... I would want the oppertunity to choose the area, how much material I remove, & where I do it. More importantly, I would want to know that it is done by someone else first BEFORE I purchase it.

Gonyea, being that there is a accurate story documented w/ proof (pictures) & correspondence of this transaction, my opinion is that you should refund. Not saying you Scammed Mike, but this is not what Mike expected or wanted. The honorable thing would be to make amends & reverse this deal. JMO!

Make up your mind,the counterweight has no hole drilled in it. These holes have burrs on the back side from where the bit broke thru. The flex plate is also zinc dichromate coated,except in the drilled holes.

That makes perfect sense,I took a $350 dollar damper that I bought for $125 that was in GREAT shape except for a useless decal and I beat the hell out of it, on the off chance that I could get a refund for it.

The "Theats" I made consisted of telling you this situation was going to get worse. And I would say that has happened.

All I can say is I am thankful for this forum,and the help those of you here have offered, especially Scorpion. I hope that everyone that see's this situation as I do will remember Ralph Leo Gonyea Jr. and the kind of man he is. Maybe with any luck, word will get out around his part of the country as to his real character. Keep this thought in the back of your head Ralph. Karma's a bitch!

I agree with Rigsby refund is the honorable thing to do, i have read all this and sat back, but from what i have seen you need to make it right!! As for the hammer marks they aren't fresh, they have dirt on then not shiny as they should be if he done it!

I have never understood why anyone would beat a dampener on with a hammer. :?

From the looks of that one I'd guess someone was too lazy or stupid to run a hone through it.
