Read the Feedback...

• Expected more the a 10 cent resister in shrink tubing, Shipping was fast
• It's a glorified paperclip! I paid 5.99 for shipping===>mailed with 35 cents!!!
• just a resistor doesn't sell 4 over $200 can get packs from radioshack 4 less $
• interesting idea for product but I didnt like the letter mailed with. not cool.
• Don't expect a proper ECU chip-ask for a photo of what you get-fast shipping
• Product sucks, tech help sucks, threatening letter REALLY SUCKS overall just sux
• Fast Shipping! With "mod" installed truck used more gas, so I took it out.

Reading between the lines, it appears the seller includes a threatening letter with the product that makes the buyers reluctant to leave negative feedback. There is an abnormal amount of "neutral" feedback that otherwise would be interpreted as negative feedback. There is feedback from 2 buyers that alluded to this ploy. A lot of "positive" feedback just said "Fast shipping...." and left it at that.

Caveat Emptor.

This trick has been going on for years.
We have a ton of posts over at YotaTech on this very subject.

Someone should hunt down these sellers and have some fun with them.

ive been messing with 1 seller on ebay that sells cv joints for 60 and 62 he insists that those models are not a solid axle design just look up axles under cruisers and you will find him
