Give mercedes a call, i think their parts dept is open until 5 today
Like I said, I did call them. He said, "everything that doesn't have the part number print on it, you need to buy it as a whole"

Kev....suck it up and either give him his money back or find the parts that he needs and move on with your life. Your reputation is going to suck after this if you don't. And that's something that you will have to live with a longer than the $120 profit will last.

Just think how you would have felt if the guy on e-bay had hosed you!

I wasn't ignoring your calls, I was out to dinner with the fam.

At this point, I'm going to try and find a way to get that clip for the headlights. Anyone have any suggestions?

Everyone, just to clarify, I called Kevin and he said he's gonna go find the clips. In addition, he agreed that if he can't find the clips by MONDAY NIGHT, he's gonna REFUND my money.

We have a deal rite, Kevin?

Yes, but I said we'll talk Monday night, but the deal is, if I can't find the clips, he's going to get a refund.

I am not bull****ting but he said (in SMS) that he have bought a new one and he offered me to exchange it with mine on Wednesday or Thursday. Come one everyone, does it makes sense for him to buy a new one or even a used one and exchange it with mine? what's the point? he is still gonna keep the one that doesn't come with the clips rite? come one Kev, I know you're just finding a reason to lengthened your PROMISE!

I am sorry guys, he's starting to make me mad!

When he smsed me about the offer, I asked (to clarify) whether the new one that he just bought is in condition or not. He didn't reply my sms ever since.

Kevin, don't fuc**n play with me.

"I have deposited the cash"
"I am sorry, I don't do cash transaction at night"

Now what??

The point is that he is getting a new set of lights for you is because in case if he can't find just the clips, he will have to buy an entire set. He is pushing it back to Wed or Thur is probably because he won't be able to find a set on Sunday or up until Monday night.

It pretty much comes down to two things:
1. No more funny business and you just want your money back (Monday night)
2. If you really want the headlights, give him up to Thur like he says and see what he has for you or the money will be in your hand.

Since the forum members aren't part of this deal at all, we can only observe and throw in a few random suggestions here and there. It's very hard for us to take sides but we shouldn't anyway. But come on guys, I am sure you guys can work something out without getting heated over a pair of headlights.

I appreciate your sugestion but what I mean was, what is the point for him to get me a new headlights since he's gonna end up having the "defective" one? Think that if he pays another set for me and exchange it with mine (the defective one), he could loose more money. If he just returned my money, he's just probably gonna loose 140 (price what he bought) and can try to sell it again. Am I correct?

I don't mind if he's gonna give me a new set by Wed or Thurs, but the thing is that, I don't want him to say some more reason on Thrusday that he couldn't get the clips nor the new lamps.

Okay, I'm not screwing around. I bought a pair of used headlights, but newer than the ones you currently have, off of a forum member here. I'm not going to name names but when he sees this, he'll probably chime in and confirm that I bought these from him. He's shipping it UPS 3 day.

Sounds good, the seller said it doesn't come with bulbs so we'll have to swap the bulbs out of the unit I gave you into the one you're exchanging for.
