Yep, knew that!
68 quid has to be good even with some extra postage from Germany doesn't it?
What will your local dealer charge you?
Probably 68 quid each!

You did know what I meant by 'tasteful' then?!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh_2.gif

 

[RichA3Turbo]

I've just bought some too... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Rich

 

[Gambba]

Just waiting to find out how to pay the guy......

 

[RichA3Turbo]

haha.. me 2. How do you pay people i another country? Never done it before...

Rich

 

[Gambba]

Bank transfer is the most common....i think.

 

[RichA3Turbo]

Ok.. Wonder if he will accept VISA! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

 

[Gambba]

Well, I'm not going to be paying him until atleast after the weekend i.e. after payday!!

Yeah, the majority of Germans prefer it as a matter of fact.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif

 

[wezhaz]

Banks usually charge at least £30 for any small amount of money transfer.Can do through the Post Office for about £10.If the seller has the PayPal logo then this is by far the easiest and safest way.Have sent EURO to Germany before through International Signed For,also done as a letter from the Post Office.There is compensation on this but nothing stops someone running off with your money.Good feedback rating on Ebay is essential for peace of mind,and there is limited compensation for buyers through Ebay. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/snore.gif

 

[RichA3Turbo]

Was going to ask him about paypal... cos he wont even need an account.. definatley the easiest way i think...

Rich

 

[Khufu]

I want them too, but the idea of payment has always put me off if I can't use Mr Visa although I did set up Paypal /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif. Buying from a foreign country is confusing too as I wont be able to speak/write in that language and know what I'm really getting/paying. BTW why does the translation always say at the end 'much joking in the offering' /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

 

[Gambba]

It probably says much joy, or something similar, in the offering. The translation programs are pretty horendous most of the time, giving only a general idea of what is said.

If we get into any trouble,'we might be able to get Drill to give us a helping hand (he's that sort of guy you know), and he can make sure everything is arranged correctly.

 

[Gambba]

Rich,
Just sent the German guy the below which basically asks what is the prefered payment method and how postage will be handled.
-----------------------------------
Guten tag,

Bitte advisieren Sie auch betreffende die versendung der leuchten.

[/ QUOTE ]

Torsten Hainke is the guy that's selling these rear lights! I'm thinking this aint such a grand idea, not that I've paid yet.....
He gives a telephone number on the e-mail he sent (030 20214888) if you wanted to give him a call Caractere.

 

[RichA3Turbo]

Uhh... i have /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Hopefully caractere was a one off!

Rich

 

[Khufu]

What with spoilers and rear lights, you dont seem to be having much luck! At least when you finally get the lights, you can sell 'em on to someone else without a problem.

all i can say is i recieved my clusters from him and had no problems......as i recall he had a really good feedback on ebay also,strange that he's changed name though....

best of luck anyway.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dancing.gif My lights have been despatched with UPS /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/froggie_red.gif

So will hopefully have them by next week.

Caractere.. email him and see what he has to say. I think its was probably a one off bad experience... He speaks (writes anyway) english... so should be able to call him.

Rich

 

[Khufu]

I'll be getting mine tomorrow. I ordered them from a 'friend' at Eurocarparts, so got them for £104 inc VAT.

Got mine for £80 total! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Khufu]

Nice, but I'm impatient /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif So after I had decided I was def. going to get them, I just stopped off on the way home there. Will need to get some Phillips bulbs too now.
