I have been working with HI SPEED to buy his Comptech Supercharger. He has been nothing but helpful and a great guy to work with through the process. My concern is i am going to be sending a LARGE amount of money to buy this and i know on a lot of other forums vouches told stories about the people and how legit they are to work with.
I mean no disrespect to HI SPEED but i was wondering if anyone had any experiences with him before i wire transfer this large amount to him.
As i said i don’t mean to be and ass but i was screwed on eBay when i was in high school out of over 800.00 so i am a bit worried about sending my savings to someone!
Thanks!

Do an advanced search on his user name .. looks like he has sold a few items .. maybe the buyer will comment if sent a pvt message.

Comptechtl2367

Yeah i just did a search on his user name, been here for quite a while with alot of posts and has been and active member, not the type to steel money and ditch the site...

I haven't dealt with him but he seems to be a very valuable person and on this forum for a while with positive feedback. I am sure he won't risk anything to be banned from here and he would have done this months ago instead of holding onto it just to be safe he really did want to sell it or not.

Maybe buy piece by piece or have a legal letter sent to him that he can sign? Again, this won't be necessary in my eyes.

even though i havent actually met him, he's given me useful info and we both tuned our cars at the same place. i was gonna buy his supercharger but i was in a rush and wanted one before he took his off. buy it

He's a good guy. He's almost like Majofo, IHC, Innacurate, etc... May not sell that much, but if they do, you know they can be trusted.

You got paypal on your side anyways, so you should be fine.

Paypal aside, draft a bill of sale noting the conditionals of the transaction, with signatures from both parties.

Paypal really isn't going to cover you nearly as well as you may be led to believe; ultimately, if this comes down to small claims court a signed contract of sale will hold more water then a PP dispute.

I lost that 800.00 using Pay Pal, its useless. that and when you send a large amount even as a gift you can only withdraw 500 per month and i am not doing that to him. He has been emailing me a lot and has been very upfront about everything including pictures of the items and pictures packed. I just wanted to see if anyone had delt with him and or met him. I am sending the money by wire transfer and the bank said they can track it so there is some safety there! Any other feed back would be great but i think i am going through with it tomorrow! NEED BOOST!

Comptechtl2367

I typed up a Bill of Sale and sent it to him, i think it is the safest way to track a purchas via internet. Hopefully i get it back ASAP and i will be a new owner of a CT Supercharger!

good luck and welcome.. as many have stated I dont know him personally but he provides much helpful info on here. Hes not on just for himself, but i usually see him providing first hand experiences... either way good luck..

I don't see why you can't just send a check. Once it clears, both ways are a GO. Just say he was untrustworthy and ripped you off, you can dispute it through the bank and vice-versa.

Now your user name makes sense..

Pay via credit card through Paypal...if the deal goes south then you can claim payment back through your credit card company. This has saved me a few times when the Paypal policy has left me with nothing.

Comptechtl2367

The check is not a bad idea but the turn around is a long time and sending a wire transfer is basicly the same thing without the mail time and the time waiting for it to clear. the fund will be sent right to his account and if i dont get the item i can always have my bank go after his to get my money back!
I dont think i have to worry much about it, he has been very helpful and most of the time if someone wants to rip you off they really push for a speedy sale and what not and thats not how this has gone!

He won't rip you off, but just for future reference

If Hi Speed rips you off, I'll buy you a turbo. Deal?

Comptechtl2367

Just a turbo or a whole turbo kit :-) Haha

Comptechtl2367

Hi Speed is one of the most easy honest guys I have ever worked with over a forum! I bought his CT-E S/C and everything was as he stated! He signed a Bill Of Sale and provided me with all his personal info before I even sent him the money! Great guy! If your considering buying something from him... DO IT!
TheChamp531: Looks like you dont owe me a turbo kit! :-)

Very nice! When are you planning to install it? I'm in Madison as well. Do you own a shop out here?

I still dont get it...

Comptechtl2367

sddale: No I use to work for a shop and have built quite a few other cars so this install should be cake!

The user name was... what we should call premature! :-) I knew i would get one sooner then later but the TL is in storage so i wont me able to do the install till spring... stupid WI winters! Now i just have to see how long it takes the girlfriend to notice the extra noise from under the hood! Then bets on how long it takes for me to be found in the WI river!

Deal is done and both parties are happy!

Congrats on the purchase...too bad you have to wait so long to install it. How can you stand it???

Souljah

The wait is going to kill you...

Comptechtl2367

I have had the S/C for a week and its killing me already, i look at it everyday! It helps that its highs of 5-10 and lows in the -10's so the last think i want to do is be outside! That and we just got snow so even if i put it on it would not leave my garage... i am guessing mid feb ill be out there with a heater!
