New aftermarket black headlights? - Page 9

Ajaxus · 08-25-2005, 04:47 PM

they're price gouging, so i decided to take the last pair under $200...sorry everybody. im not payin the $240+shipping they're asking for now. take me off the group buy list, im not waiting on their bull****. they're just gonna raise the prices alot more before taking the group buy and then tell you its a deal when you're still paying nearly $100 more than it was originally listed for.

Damn right. Sunny and 70 today here in San Diego with a forecast of ****ty eBay sellers and a 50% chance of a price hike.

Does Sikmindz have to choke a bitch?

Umm, why don't they allow local pickup? That's retarded. I am not getting these.

Um...

Why can't they stick with a set price?
Why doesn't anybody ever pay attention to what I post?
Why is the sky blue?
Why am I even typing this?

Ajaxus · 08-25-2005, 05:14 PM

Umm, well its because its a shipping and HANDLING fee. If you pick up you arent taking shipping out of the equation, just gipping them out of a handling fee. And they like that fee.

LukeD · 08-25-2005, 05:15 PM

Hey sik, is dynasty auto in your phone book? Unless they are just the middleman they must have a big place to sell all this stuff they have on ebay.

I'm paying attention man... and cracking up.

08-25-2005, 05:17 PM

Well I still want them but not at $240 + $45 shipping especially when I am right here in California too.

Ajaxus · 08-25-2005, 05:17 PM

btw, these dynasty guys are gonna love the feedback i leave them. once the transaction is done and im satisfied with the part,.....i rip them a new one.

Ajaxus · 08-25-2005, 05:18 PM

they keep puttin some out that are under or near 200...i think they like playing price games, just keep your eyes peeled and you might catch a decent pair under that 240 mark.

I double checked in my phone listings and Auto Dynasty does not exist as a physical company as far as I can tell. They may go by Dynasty Auto though, as I believe earlier in this thread someone gave that name as per what the return label on the headlight box said.

Bah...I'll just post my whole email with them:

(Sure the email is backwards but you guys don't read anyways)

Although I think you're just inflating my ego, because I hooked you up. Hahaha!

LukeD · 08-25-2005, 05:29 PM

seems like these guys dont speak english that great, I actually think they translated their replys the best they could, and thus their short responses. Look in your phonebook for anything in temple city that deals with import cars/car parts.

AaronGTR · 08-25-2005, 05:32 PM

First time I saw them the buy it now price was $175 I think. Next pair that came up that I bought were up to $200.99 + $45 S/H. Now the buy it now price is $240.99. That's friggin' rediculous. I haven't left feed back yet so I'll make a comment.

these are home addresses. Just call and whoever picks up, ask for dynasty auto ("Hello, Dynasty Auto?") and if he doesn't act like he has no idea what you are talking about then you have your man and we can harass him at home till he gives us a group buy or lowers his prices.

These are soooo sweet! Put them on today and they really look clean.

LukeD · 08-25-2005, 06:07 PM

the easiest way to find out is to call and say "Hello, Dynasty Auto?" If they say you must have the wrong number then it's not it. Say it quick though, don't give him time to think.

We need to find out what the name of the factory is in Taiwan producing these and then find a way to import them ourselves.

Do you have a right to be mad over high gas prices? Sure you do. It's called price gouging and it's up to the consumer to defend themselves.

It's not a few dolars either, this is almost a $100 markup. Reminds me of the time my friend and I were test driving new cars. The Ford dealership tried to sell me a new 05 mustang with tint and rims for $48k.

Ajaxus · 08-25-2005, 06:13 PM

email and ask him who in taiwan makes them because you want to see how high the quality is on the product. and bam, you got it. then again you might get another representation of bad english in your response...and get even more confused..
