If you bought a power steering pump for your Charger...........

Question for everyone. I recently had a wanted ad for a power steering pump. A member responded that he had one. I requested pics. I need a complete one and the seller sent me pics. They were of a complete one. Brackets,pulley and all. I never even gave it any thought and said I would take it. Fast forward to today it comes in the mail and it's just a bare pump and reservoir.

Am I wrong to think of this as a bait and switch?

I'm thinking first course of action would be a PM and asking where the "accessories" are, that was shown in the pictures. Sounds like communication breakdown if nothing else, maybe he thought you only wanted the pump?  :shruggy:

That may be. But he seems unwilling to work it out. I would be happy with just the pulley and the pulley retainer.

:iagree: anything less is nuts. Unfortunately not every member here is an honest person.

Yes and I appreciate that we have come to this agreement.

At lease, you claim to receive it and not reported it stolen from your porch (twice) to get your money back.

I don't see a bait and switch here.

If you wanted to buy a carb and I took a picture of one on an engine that I had, would you expect the engine as well?    :icon_smile_big:

Maybe seller didn't want to take of brackets etc just to snap a quick picture.

Anyway glad you got it worked out...but I'd give seller benefit of doubt on this one.  You wanted to buy a pump...and you received a pump.

Devious indeed!

I have tons of parts and sold a lot.....I have never had anyone ask for just the brackets or just the pump only...Furthermore, I would only sell it as one unit anyways...I have enough stuff to label and to put in storage....


Fitting thou, lol :popcrn:

Slightly different. If you bought a carb you would expect the levers and choke plate to be included.


I also didn't expect him to send the picnic table it was setting on....

Bait and switch? Absolutely.
If the seller didn't plan on including any brackets & such then he should have stated that.  :yesnod:

So . He agreed to send the pulley. I have some brackets. The pulley showed up yesterday and it's bent. What a horse ship deal......
