Well here it is, Tuesday night and no light. I contacted the seller and he
says it was shipped TONIGHT!!! Man am I ****ed!!!

This guy took payment wednesday, said he'd get right on shipping it. Okay
fine sounds good.

Friday rolls around and he hasnt given me any shipping info. Hmmmm.... I
contact him and he assures me he shipped it earlier friday. Okay this is
cool I can understand this... Just getting hard to manage...

Tonight, no light (...

I contact him and he has this cavaleer attitude about the whole thing...
Tells me that he just shipped it and it will be here tomorrow.

I made him give me the tracking number and UPS does have "some" shipment
under that # to my town. BUT!!! It is shipped UPS ground. No freaking way
it's getting here tomorrow, as promised.

If you plan on buying from this guy, so far just be careful of him lying and
make sure you get a tracking number.

Will keep you posted.

I finally received it!!

Very large box due to the size of the 18" reflector.

Everything is present and accounted for, but I can't tell if the bulb is a
10K or not. I am inclined to believe it is since that is what was written on
the outside of the shipping container and the color it produces has a nice
blue to it.

It runs very hot... oh my goodness does it... Ballast doesn't seem to much
though.

I am very upset however as to the service this guy gave. He did nothing but
lie during the whole shipping process. First lied about the shipging it and
then lied about next day service to make up for the first lie.

Glad to hear you finally received it. I've been following along as I was
thinking about buying one of these setups too. Does the ballast make any
noise?

On his website he charges $35.00 for an upgrade to a 10K bulb, but 10K bulb
is included in his eBay auction, probably should be the other way around.
I've read that a lot of the eBay Power Sellers are notorious for being some
of the slowest shippers. Many of them sell faster than they can ship, even
though he now has a message on his website acknowledging his slow shipping.

Darrin

Ballast doesnt make any noise to speak of... I had to place my ear near it
to hear it.

The shipping wasnt too slow... My problem was the lying... If there was some
problem, ballast not built yet, hey okay... But this guy had to tell me it
shipped when it didnt... And then took a hiddy hoe attitude towards it.

I am glad I bought it... Already got it installed But I would make
sure that I was on top of this guy all the way.

Thanks for the info. I still can't decide on buying this guys setup or
not. On his auction he doesn't tell what brand name anything is, makes it
kind of sound suspicious. With that suspicion plus the constant runaround
he gave you, I don't know if he's worth the risk. I guess there is that
crap shoot with eBay though, lower price vs. lower customer service.

I've had bad luck with every item I bought on eBay over $35.00. Bought a
computer for $250 and got a runaround like you got with this guy, shipped
it 3 weeks after he told me he did. Terrible experience and been gun shy
ever since.

Darrin
