This thread fails without pics.

Seriously, good thing he refunded you...you learned your lesson and got away with it too, so to speak.

I'm still curious to see pics of the bad rotor, in particular.

I bought rotors off the forum and they were unusable. Guy returned my money a couple months after I shipped them back. Honestly, like someone said...best bet is see them in person or go with the reputable guy listed above

Unless you just want paperweights, don't use ebay.

Glad there's a happy ending

Make sure to find an unusable rotor housing to hold it in, they look great on your desk at work on a bookshelf!

Hey diptinchrome when I officially get the money back through paypal for the rotor I will send you one free. I am happy I didn't have to write these off as a total loss... PM me your shipping info.
