I bought 2 blocks off of Ebay
A 400 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7952505438&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT) and a 455 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7952503229&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT) .
The short story is the 400 bore is not 4.120 but rather 4.140 (+.02") with still some visible scoring in the cyl....not ready to assemble as stated. rehone to +.03" $90
The 455 has some scratcing on the deck that will require decking...deck the block $120
When I first emailed him about the problems with the 400 he said that he would refund $50.
I told him that it was going to cost me $90 to fix.
We went back and forth about it and got nowhere.
Then I brought up the problems with the 455. I told him if he would take care of the 400 $90. I would cover the 455 $120.
Back and forth again...and again.....Finally I said fine, send me the $50
Well I recieved the check today and it included this letter.
Please accept this $50 as restitution for the incorrect advertisement of the 400 Pontiac that was sold on ebay.By cashing this check, all negotiations regarding any and all items sold through ebay to BBB(ME) from SSS(Seller) will terminate, and release and forever discharge SSS, his insures, agents, servants and employees of and from all claims debts dues and obligations of every kind of nature that BBB may have against said SSS and his insurers, agents, servants and emplyees and particularly of and from all claims for any and all claims for any and all items sold through ebay to BBB from SSS. All negative positions held by BBB will be satisfied and limit BBB from expressing those negative positions on mentioned ebay, that was used to sell the mentioned items to BBB from SSS.
Does this carry legal merit or is it just B.S.
I was going to put the $50 towards the Rehone.
Give him a neutral on the 400 block and a negative on the 455 explaining why.
Help please, :help!:
Thanx, Jeff
