Negative Trader Feedback - Buyer beware of cobraklr

I was looking at the parts classifieds on Wednesday May 6 and cobraklr posted an ls6 intake for $ 250 plus shipping . It had just been posted . I have been wanting one and know how fast they sell so I bought it even though there was no picture and He had zero feedback . And only 1 post in 5 years . Here is a copy of the message : ---Quote (Originally by iowahawkeye5)------Quote (Originally by cobraklr)------Quote (Originally by iowahawkeye5)---Hello, I will buy the intake . Send Me a little info .---End Quote---ls6 intake only 84000 miles perfect i just a 90/90 setup thats only reason im selling---End Quote--- I will buy it now . Send Me Your paypal and total to 50317 Des Moines Iowa .---End Quote---send me ur email and ill send u a bill*************** Well He said $ 270 with shipping so I paid through paypal right then on Wed May 6 at 7:53 . Friday , May 15 I get it from fedex and flip it over and its an ls1 without egr . See Pics .

Well maybe a dumb question but have you tried to contact him? Send him emails or whatever you have to do but that's not a mistake that should have been made on his part. He probably thought whoever was buying wouldn't notice.

Well , sent this message last night to cobraklr and still no reply : Why don't You try to make good on the intake ? Refund Me $200 and I will sell the ls1 for what I can to make up for some of it . I will note on all Your sales that it is taken care of and delete the negative trader thread . I shouldn't have started calling names but I waited almost two weeks to get it so I could install it and then it's not even an ls6 intake . I figured You were just going to dissapear and never post again . I don't know if You did it on purpose or not , but if You really just bought a corvette , You can afford to make it right . If by some chance You do refund it , don't try coming back and saying You paid Me for something and didn't get it . Write that it's for a refund . I'm trying to be respectful , incase it was an honest mistake .

Hello , here is the feedback this dumbass left for Me : Bad seller screwed me over never do business with him Buyer cobraklr (1) 05-15-2009 cobraklr05-15-2009, 11:02 PM Screwed me over iowahawkeye505-16-2009, 07:46 AM I was not even the seller in this transaction . I was the buyer and got taken for almost $300 on an ls6 intake that was an ls1 intake when it arrived . Please delete this negative feedback . iowahawkeye505-16-2009, 10:41 PM There is something not working right in a persons head when They sell You a part , send You a whole different part , and then leave feedback saying You sold Them something and ripped Them off . The main problem is I was the buyer . The mods need to google cobraklr and gregory bissette . A lot of stuff will come up . And He is supposedly selling things every day , but the only 2 feedbacks are from the ones who keep defending him . Hey anybody want to buy a lug nut and We can both leave each other good feedback ?

Thats the problem with doing business on forums. Buying or selling can be a PITA and a risk. So this guy ripped you off as the seller then left you negative feedback and claimed to be the buyer? Whew.

Did you put in the comment section of paypal anything like "payment for ls6 intake or something with LS6 intake"

File a claim with paypal. This dude obviously has no intentions of making right on this. Don't wait to long

Im sorry he didnt make this right man. Greg is local to me, and I learned to watch my back dealing with him when I paid him to install Hooker headers, only to find out he installed pacesetters. He wouldnt give me a dime back.

What really sucks is him leaving you negative feedback. How crappy is that? Hey I screwed you over, sent you a ls1 intake, kept your money, and leaving you negative feedback! Thats horrible

hey, wanna sell it or trade I have an ls1 intake w/ egr (gotta be worth more than without...its an added feature!) and I wont leave you negative feedback I promise! No but really, I have had an LS1 car for a long time, and feel like I know a little bit about them, but I probably would have advertised it as an ls6 as well just because of no egr! How the hell do you tell the diff besides that, and I am serious about buying it how much?:emb:

Well , it seems cobraklr wants to sell another " ls6 intake " He is back down to 1 post as well .

SH*T. I bought this thing from him... How can you tell it's an LS6 intake or an LS1? Wish me luck man.

The 12556333 manifold shown in the pictures above is an LS1 intake from a regular C5 vette.

The LS6 Intake 12561184 for 2001 2002 F-bodies will have a flat bottom and no EGR provisions.

Here's a link about Intake manifolds

This is the only LS6 type manifold available with EGR provisions.
SLP LS6 Manifold (with EGR provisions) PN 30041



.

he agreed to refund the money for the "LS6" intake. I'll let you know if and when he follows threw.

Anybody hear anything from this dude?

I have all His info and a # , don't know if it's real or not . If You want to both go together and turn Him in to Someone in His hometown We can . I have heard of People that got scammed on Ebay turning them in to their states attorney general and getting results . All His threads were put back on the forum so You have proof . Did He take Your money too ? This guy is so ignorant , He put almost the same exact description on here for another Ls6 intake after I already started this thread . The dipshit is not smart enough to at least sign up with a new name . Also , Look at His sale thread about the $ 1600 forged engine . There is another member from here that keeps sticking up for Him . Funny ?

He hasn't scammed me yet. I sent him money about a week ago then he said he would send it back if I wanted when I questioned the authenticity of the "LS6" intake. He said he had to wait for it to clear to his account. Should have cleared by now... The transaction was complete on paypal. PM me the details for his # and his home town. Also PM me the name you have. I will see if it matches up with the name on the paypal he gave me. Thanks
Josh

Please note that it wasn't me that this guy got burned by.

lol. No def. not you.

OK now I'm getting pissed. Dude got on today for the first time in about 5 days and didn't respond to a single PM. If you read this, you have limited time to respond to my PMs before I file the dispute with Paypal. I have PMs from you agreeing to refund the money. Please respond immediately. Thanks

The conduct of deadbeat sellers cheating good members out of thier hard earned money will not be tolerated.

cobraklr we are watching you ... yes you ... cobraklr .... being online does not give you immunity to the potential consequences.


You can run but you cannot hide !!!


Your fate awates you cobraklr ... you cannot escape !!!

im glad i only wasted 75 dollars on him and not 275 but he is a LOSER for sure

To the last poster , You are one of the People I said was defending Him . I guess He got You too . It's time for everyone who got scammed to get criminal charges filed on this guy . He is stupid enough to leave all his contact info and phone # on here . Who here believes He has a 700 hp camaro , but gets off on logging into a parts website 10 times a day to scam People ? I think He or She is a straight up nutjob .

He agreed to send my money back, which I have documented in private messages. Well when he saw the paypal claim he responded saying he would ship out the part today. The claim will not be removed until he refunds my $260.
I won't put up with this sh*t. I work too hard for what I have to have this d-bag short me like this. I'll keep everybody posted.

I need all the information on this guy that I can get. I am taking legal action against him for the amount of money ($260) that I paid him for the LS6 intake that I NEVER received. I never even got an LS1 intake, I got NOTHING!!!! Paypal ruled in my favor but they say he doesn't have the funds for them to take back. I need everything I can get on this piece of shit.
Cobraklr if you read this, It would be in your best interest to put the $260 in the account so that they can refund it to me. Once I get my money, all legal action will be called off.
All others, please PM me with any information you have on him. Thanks

Was his shipping address available when you did the PayPal transaction ?

unfortunately not. I looked :D

I cut and pasted his user name on google and he was registered on a couple of forums.
I didn't see any info on him.

I also sent him a PM saying to pay up.



.

I want a full refund from Him too . The worthless ls1 intake is no better . And all the time I have wasted trying to get My money back . I still have a worthless intake sitting in My hallway and $ 260 missing from My bank account . And now I don't trust anyone enough to buy an ls6 intake , not even on ebay . If I got ripped again , that would be enough wasted that I could have bought a FAST intake .
