Thumbs down 70Blackfish

Back in February of this year I was responding to an ad in the classifieds here regarding a 6 Cyl tach for sale. I received a private message from 70Blackfish stating that he has a 6 cylinder tach he wanted to sell.

I agreed to the purchase price of $100 including shipping. I sent him the $100 via Paypal plus an additional amount of $3.29 as a courtesy to cover his paypal fees.

Since I am Canada I had it shipped to my shipping address in the US to alleviate the hassle of customs that occur when shipping to Canada. I travel to the US from time to time to pickup parcels I have shipped as they accumulate. I had just missed the shipment of the tach since it took alot longer then expected to arrive. It was April until I was able to retrieve the parcel.

I had inquired prior to purchase if there was a stamping on the back and the seller stated:

"I dont see a 6 on the back,
what i do know is, i got it from a friend who had it in his 6 cyl truck,
I had gotten my trk, it had a 6 so i bought it from him, he switched to a v8, then I ran it for a year, then switched to a v8 also and swapped the tach out. I never ran it in there with a 8."


Upon opening and inspecting the tach I notice that it is stamped faintly with a 8 cyl marking on the back. I informed the seller immediately that is was marked as an 8cyl tach, he responded with:

"Sorry. I had it with a 8 cylinder. It read low. Send it back and I will send you a refund. "

Prior to sending it back I did test it on my 8 cylinder Blazer that has a factory tach and the tach that was sold to me as a 6cyl tach read the same as the tach in my Blazer.

I sent the tach back expecting a refund as promised. After waiting a week after the tracking showed it was delivered I had not received a refund so I inquired to see if it was received and the seller stated it was:

"HI, i did receive it, i have been busy and not been able to test it to make sure it still works"


So I give him another two weeks and today he responds

"So PayPal tells me after 60 the sale is complete and no refunds. I sold you a working piece. To test this I have to drive 50 miles to my friends 6 cylinder truck. To drive this far sucks for 100.00 tach over 90 days later. I do not have the time to do. "



So in the end he has had both the tach and my money for the past 3 weeks
I am out $103.29 for the tach plus the $8.76 to ship it back to him because he sold an 8 Cylinder tach as a 6 Cylinder tach.
