Alright, against my better judgment SilverGt wanted me to make a thread about our transaction tonight. We met at the 48a Pembroke exit at the Flying J. I was a little late so I threw him an extra 5 bucks, figured it was the least I could do. He says it just got a new head gasket, which is why the top cover was loose. fine no big deal. I put the air compressor in the back seat, and before I could get into the car the gf says ‘it stinks’ I was like yea whatever its just the normal garage smell. Sure it smelled kinda funny but what are ya gonna do. I brought it inside and let the snow melt off the wheels before I took it through the house onto the front porch. at like ten or so I decided to tinker with my new purchase. I took the cover off and immediately noticed things were not good. I plugged it in and the motor turned over a 3 or 4 times then quit, its internal fuse blew. He said it works fine and builds pressure, at 100 psi it trips his house breaker. Thats believable, right? This air compressor has a burned motor and it was sold to me like that. I attempted to settle this through pm but he advised me to create a thread for some reason. I know, I know, buyer beware, but I expected this thing to last more than 3 seconds. Pm’s: > [@travisn](#): > > alright, the motor in this is blown, melted, and doesnt work. please come pick it up asap and bring my 85 dollars back. treat this correctly and I will not bring it public. > [@SilverGT](#): > > It melted? What in the world? Did it start up and start to compress? What exactly happened? I advise you that the thing blew my breaker a couple time. I’m more then willing to refund your money but under one condition, the same way you received it, the motor has to start up. And your moe then welcome to post a thread about it. As I’m a honest seller and I told you the problem it had. Did it build any pressure? you said the compressor was fine, but your house breaker tripped… Pictures of EXACTLY how I received it. If I fucked it up somehow I wouldnt bitch about it, I would buy a new motor or whatever is needed: notice the grease all melted and the blackness on the motor? Electrical tape on the fused power wire? The only time I turned it on the cover was off, hmm… Again, I started this thread because SilverGT asked me to. All I want is my $85 back because clearly this was no good from the get go. cliffs: SilverGt sold me a compressor that he said ran good. He offered to meet me half way for $80, I was late, gave him $85. I got the compressor home took the cover off and found the above. I want my money back. ---

i dont know about the compressor, what I do know is, travis is a good honest kid who didnt lie about anything on the car I bought from him. He even was extra cool about some radio related parts that He didnt have to inlclude. Next SilverGt, Ive bought stuff from him more than twice, hell I bought something from him tonight. He was always honest, it was as described and he always met up without a problem. Your both cool people, I dont think it should have come to a thread. ---

I hope your first sentence wasn’t directed at me… and yea, tripping a house breaker means nothing, this is a little different. my old 220 compressor would trip all the time because it was on the same line as the dryer, lol. ---

First off, a board member owned this compressor about not even a week ago, I was told it had a bad headgasket. So I ordered it, he can attest that the motor did not look like that at all. I waited about a week for the headgasket to come in, mind you that I haven’t plugged anything in yet. The only time I plugged it in was when I took the pictures of it last night when it blew my breaker twice before it hit 100psi. But as you all can see I offered a refund, I just ask that if you can meet me closer to home. The drive sucks I told him I don’t mind a thread about this as I don’t want nothing behind curtains, I settle all my disputes in public. Threads like this let people express there opinion towards one another and I think we should just have a thread for every member on the board so we can post all the things that gone wrong lol. And for jam, I did apologized to you in that thread about the error. So stop your crying. So the fact that you held a grudge for that show that your such a baby. And 98s10…lol u just make me laugh…what shade is silver? So all in all. Like I said in the begining, I am more then willing to refund your money, would you be able to meet me closer to my house. ---

thats a Compressor? Looks like it runs on a blender motor. Throw that pile of shit in a dumpster and buy a decent compressor. That MIGHT be enough to fill a mattress (not so sure) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sale-gone-bad-you-be-the-judge/63346.md?page=2)
