In conclusion, It seems like he basically took a sledge hammer to the parts to get them out and his set of wires with 100 mi on then ended up looking worse then mine with 137,000 mi.

    Just my $0.02, I hope every one else had better luck.
    A prior quote from Steve in response to my post in ref to what cantbl8 re-iterated - "we take apart ferrari motors, we can take apart the bmw.."

    I guess not! I'm sure if you contact him he will resolve it, sounds like a good guy.

    Here is a professional taking a BMW apart. Notice the precision tools he is using. Since this picture was taken, we transfered him to the Ferrari Dismantling Department:

    i gave your order to my back store to remove,pack and mail. if something happened and you came here and wrote your story but never emailed me with your issue, how did you expect me to know about your issue ! this is the 1st i hear of your issue today when i logged in after a few weeks or not logging in . a simple email would have been easy to help you.

    I'd call and let them know that you weren't satisified.

    my email adress is info@exoticaronline.com

    if u have a problem with a part i sold you, or need to buy a part OR HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME, send me an email if u want an answer. i come here from time to time. not every day ~!

    had the fellow with the wires who originally emailed me and had not posted here his request for the wires but had emailed me directly to buy his wires, had he emailed me , we wouldnt be here talking about this.
    yet, people get a kick out of damaging peoples reputations and businesses on forums.i have no time for this. anyone needs parts or has an issue, email me.

    so far sold 6000$ worth of parts and everyone seems to be happy and received their parts , well packaged and got a great deal.

    I agree Steve. Sounded like he never attempted to contact you before hanging dirty laundry out. Not very nice! Excuse the humor over the wires Steve, couldn't resist! TO ALL: If you make a deal here on the forum, there is more than likely communication via direct emails during the transaction, if not-do so and I discourage using PM, but it works also since there is email notify. After the transaction, ONLY use this same path for disputes or questions. Don't bring it up here where, as Steve said, we may not frequent the board every day. As someone who also sells parts, I would hope this wouldn't happen to me. If so, guess what? You're not buying any more from me!

    As I said I was able to use the #12 wire that I needed so not all was lost and I still have an abundent amount of extra wires if needed. $175 for 11 of the 12 wires I was still happy with the outcome. I was just commenting on the condition of the part, which was apparent they were not in that condition pre removal.

    Steve, I didn't contact you because I still feel like I got what I needed at a good price, just be more careful when removing parts. I know from working on these cars that all the little plastic pieces break fairly easy.

    Could of gave him a chance to fix it before ruining some potential sales. Bad feedback makes other's go elsewhere. If Steve had'nt replied, He could of lost plenty inquires about parts. In the end it hurts all the needy.
