Guess What Amazon Is Thinking?

[KlausVanWinkle]

I just ordered these off of Amazon. Anyone want to play "guess what shows up?"

I'm hoping it's 2 Old Man Emu 865 Rear Springs from the 1.5" Medium Lift Kit. But who knows.

Amazon.com: ARB 2865 Old Man Emu Coil Spring: Automotive

I'm betting the currently unavailable and sold by a 3rd party through Amazon means you're in for a credit card dispute and some fun.

 

[KlausVanWinkle]

It was through Amazon's clearance department. Not really a third party. I bought a MV50 Compressor through their clearance dept before and it is great.

And they were $89. So I thought I'd take the risk.

Does it bother your that the pic on that link is an Edelbrock intake manifold?
Just sayin'.

 

[TheFuzz]

Good luck....I wouldn't hold your breath but you never know I guess.

 

[SupraTuRD]

Whatever it is, it's unavailable. Am I missing something?

 

[KlausVanWinkle]

It's unavailable because I ordered the last ones.

I think it's interesting that neither the price, picture, title nor description match. So I'm either about to get ripped off or get a good deal. It's like shorting credit default swaps in early 2008.

Have you considered that the manifold may be more valuable than the springs?

Last time I played that game with amazon I lost.

 

[KlausVanWinkle]

I won.

They are ARB OME 865 Springs in new but dusty condition for $89 2nd day air shipped. They still have the tags on them and are scratche free. Looks like it was just an open box item.

well done sir! that picture is funny, everything is caked in mud... yet the springs are strangely clean.

 

[KlausVanWinkle]

They're the new self cleaning springs. What will they think of next?

SCORE

Let me know if you want an extra hand on the install. I Wouldn't mind spending the day out by the coast.

 

[TheFuzz]

NICE!

Let me know if you want an extra hand on the install. I Wouldn't mind spending the day out by the coast.

I can't fit in my garage. So my install locations are limited. I usually do small things like oil changes on the street and bigger things like grinding off rust in the alley.

But I was thinking that maybe I should do something bigger like this at work where I have plenty of room and can leave it if something goes wrong. That being said, my office is equally as close to the coast.
