[Dimitrios]

seems like there are parts missing but could be a good deal for someone that knows what they are doing.

It says it is a PAXTON KIT, it is not it is a Roe. It has heavy damage to it ....probably is one of the UPS shipping accidents.

Definently a Roe.

 

[Gerald Levin]

Starting at 99 cents with no reserve? I'm sure someone around here can make use of some of these parts.

 

[Wendy]

RED FLAG!! I am 99% sure that this is the damaged supercharger involved in the the UPS Claim that Macedo Motorsports won. The item is located in Casselberry Florida (just down the street from my UPS store). I would not advise that this unit be purchased. I have notified the seller that the SC has been mis-represented.

Seller ended the auction early b/c of an error in the listing.

doh!

Probably one of your half a$$ed pack jobs is more like it

 

[Wendy]

OK, I finally got to the bottom of how/where this Roe SC was obtained by Quickdropflcas- the eBay seller.


A local "dumpster diver" found this in the dumpster behind our UPS Store and YES it is the EXACT SC that UPS paid the claim on. We had a nice & very amicable discussion about the history of this unit and they are going to put it back in the dumpster where it should have remained all along. A simple explanation of the liabilities they might face should the damaged SC be put on a Viper and the potential motor damage it could cause was all it took.

Wow! Who knows? Maybe my RT/10 Window will show up on Ebay too thanks to UPS! I'd take $.99 for it at this point!!!

 

[ChicagoGTS]

I don't know the history of this story or why your advising someone not to sell this unit, but the last time I checked people sold broken items on ebay all the time. If the seller lists it as damaged and says sold as-is. I'd buy it for the spare working parts. I bet he'd get decent money for it too.

It's not a Paxton anymore but....It's baaaaack.....

Macedo's damaged supercharger

Looks like it didn't find its way back to the dumpster after all....

Sean has been holding out on us, he has had a universal set up all along!

 

[ANIL8-U]

does anyone know the history of this blower?

 

[chickenwarrior]

Sure. Everyone does. Read this thread for starters:

Sold for $3600 while ago.

 

[chickenwarrior]

Not a bad payday for a dumpster diver that couldn't even list the auction themselves...

 

[1TONY1]

Very good payday.....but the new owner still needs a vec2 @ $1000 and a new or repaired intake box. Well call it $5000 total ...... was that worth risking "real" damage ?? Maybe.

 

[RedGTS]

Well call it $5000 total ...... was that worth risking "real" damage ??

Hey what risk--the seller spun the black thing on the end and it spins well. No risk at all.

 

[v10kingsnake]

the guy a couple of posts up was the proud buyer. i just hope he still is proud after being awarded this. almost 4 gand shipped for this blower not including the vec2, with broken gaskets and missing a smooth tube and damaged parts amounting to $$$$$$ in unknown repair/replacement costs is no deal. just a massive headache. imagine the 2-3 grand needed to make that kit 100% whole and this 3600 dollar deal just because a full price deal when you add on all the missing components. I wish anil8-u luck with it and hopefully the dumpster diver doesn't pull a fast one on you with a seized blower etc...

 

[ANIL8-U]

I didn't win; I don't think it was worth much more than 2500. Does anyone know why the blower was shipped back, if you look at the pic's there where TB's still on the blower and a broken valve cover gasket, Why would there be Valve cover gaskets, if you don't have to remove the valve covers for the install?

 

[v10kingsnake]

sorry anil8-u, i saw that you bid up to 3050 but didn't win it. kiss the ground bud. that was a sucker deal and hopefully nobody here got taken. peace.

 

[chickenwarrior]

If you really want to know. Talk to Wendy at Macedo's. As I heard the story UPS only damaged a couple of items when it was originally shipped. Only after UPS picked the package back up to take it in for Claims and it was reshipped back to Macedo was the real damage done. It is quite a story folx. It makes you wonder how UPS could even fathom denying the claim when THEY packaged the item shipped on both trips to a back to the seller.
