I bought these items from wadeduck here at pennocks forum for my 3800sc fiero. I never used them. They have been sitting in a box in my shop for a long time. I sold the fiero so these gotta go. I paid 500 plus shipping for them, so I'm selling them for the same price. Best way to get ahold of me is my email: paul_ntempe@yahoo.com 3800sc headers 3800sc exhaust race cat corvette tips
All parts went to my local ups store to ship. Those bastards charged me 75.00 to box + the supplies.
Is that $75 including the shipping; or is the $75 just to box/pack the items?
If its $75 just for packing, thats a RIP! Go to Staples or some other office supply store and buy the packing crap for half that. Or hit-up the local hardware store (or other business that receives shipments) and see if they have any boxs out back by there dumpster you can grab. That and a $4 roll of packing tape, some old newspapers and you can save yourself (or the buyer) quite a bit...

Yep, thats what I told him. Though its a huge box, he wants 25 just for the box. he said shipping will be 82. I'll eat up the box and bubble wrap.
Basically first to paypal me gets it.

If this is still for sale, i'd like to buy it. i'm not going to paypal if others are also paypal'ing you. I'll take it. If i'm the buyer, please let me know and I can paypal you ASAP.
I just don't want to send money and find out that two others have also sent money.
I check Pennocks 3-4 times a day at work, so if I get the nod, i'll send the cash today.

I can't believe these are still for sale with as many people who have called dibs. They look great and it's complete, we all know options are limited with the 3800 especially all ready done and ready to ship. No BS waiting around as we hear about members getting ripped of by suppliers all the time. GL with the sale.

This item is still for sale. Look guys, I'm not f***king around here. The price is 500 bucks + shipping. If you don't have the money then leave the sale alone to someone who does have the money.
qwikgta (rob) You sent me 250 on paypal with a note saying", ( half now, half after we talk about the rest) My sale is not on your terms dude, and the price is not negotiable.
I only do paypal. It protects both of us. Ive been on paypal for at least 15 years now.
If anybody has the money, let me know.

If you want these to sell quickly tell everyone what the header primary pipe size, the crossover pipe size and the muffler in and out sizes. I say that because any header primary pipe size less than 1.75" on a boosted 3800 has been proven to be ineffective and useless.

No problems with flow here Dennis. The pipe is pretty big. Its 2.25 all the way down. The pipe looks painted silver to me. I bought it off wadeduck here in the mall. I don't know anything more about it. I had a 3800SC fiero which I also sold to Roblp640. He turned it into a murcielago kitcar. It looks like a great system and the cat looks like the race one I had on my sosltice. I'm no stranger to fast engines.

I guess my PM was a little short, I was at work, and didn't want the boss to catch me on the internet. My intent with the note was to pass you $250 as soon as you tell me that they are mine. I was showing you I was ready so I gave you $250 of my money. I asked twice if I was the number 1. I didn't intend it to be a negotiation, but good faith. I told you i'd paypal the rest after you told me what shipping was to 23456. My first PM asked if you could drop the cat/tips, but then I read that it was boxed up, so I sent another PM that said, i'd take it ask is.
The rest is on the way, I just wanted to be sure it was me.

$ 300 more sent via paypal. I'm not sure how much more than $550 will cover the shipping.
Sorry you misunderstood my intent, I was only trying to show good faith by putting half down to prove my desire to purchase the parts. My fear was sending all the money and then finding out that I was 5 min late and someone else had bought them.

Wow... This thread seemed odd from the get-go! Several ppl said they wanted the item and the sellers responce was "first to paypal me gets it". Duno about you guys, but I wouldn't send anyone my money w/o confirmation the item was actually mine!
Never seen an item w/ so many willing buyers take so long to sell...
To the seller, pick the first person who said they would buy them and give them 24 hrs to respond; then move down the list till someone follows through w/ payment...

Kid, i had drafted up a long thread that was going to talk about the need for clear communication on this "mall" section, but I deleted it.
This is the second time in two months that I attempted to purchase something and then the items being sold out from under me. I see a lot more miscommunication on this item. A few months ago, I bought an item from the mall and I even had a PM from the seller giving me the total price and shipping. I sent him a Paypal for the total and then within a few hours it was returned. Turns out that the seller sold them to the "next in line" because I did't Paypal him the money that day. He didn't even give me two days to reply to his PM.
In this case I can't figure it out, we all posted the "ill take it" and "put me down as next in line" so we followed the standard. I had sent a PM and asked "am I the buyer, if so let me know, I have the cash" all I got back was "they are still for sale, whoever gets me the money first gets them". That makes me a little nervous beause it appears that you and I had both sent him over $500 bucks at the same time, im just glad I got my money back.
I would have loved to have the exhaust system for that price but in the end at least I have my cash back.
