Those "copper plated shift knobs" he is selling is nothing more than some molded piece of composite, shelf decore, painted a copper color.
Copper plated to me meant it was made of metal and was actually a shifter knob
It is not tapped for a shifter and therefore is not a shift knob as he advertises.
In addition, i was charged 14 bucks for shipping. That should a red flag right there.
It came in a padded envelope with postage under 5 bucks.
He did offer a refund if i returned it but I didnt bother. I threw that hunk of crap in the Goodwill box. Lesson learned.
In fact, I wasnt even gonna bother to leave feedback but I keep seeing the same ads pop up.
Dont waste your money. Worst buying experience on this site in 10 years of great transactions by honest sellers |

I agree copper-plated should mean it's metal with an actual copper plating on it.
I sent him an email.
His newest ad does not say it has to be tapped but at least one of his other ones does state this. I agree if it you are calling it a shift knob it should be ready to install or should mention it is not pre-tapped.

Thanks. I got one of these -
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1744355.
It was last year, and still this year, I love how it looks when I get in the bus, putting my hand on it, and moving it around. It's a really nice size, not wimpy, but not too gross. I'm not tired with it and am really happy about my decision to try it out. The skulls are well blended with a never ending flowing on the ball. It looks and feels good!
He tapped it well and centered. It fits down snug.
Of all the things that I send money for to try out there are few that I pat my self on the back for and this is one of them.
Good job! |

Good morning everyone
I just realiaze that this gentleman norcalmike
Place feedback on the stuff I sell on the samba
To begin with I spoke to Everett owner of the web page
He guide me to explain a little better about my ads
To everyone that gentleman refused to send me back the knob
He bought from me and demanded a refund
I never heard such thing
I emailed him several times never respond
I still ask Everett in how to approach the situation
He had tell me until you received your knob
Until then refund his money
The guy never send me anything never respond
But he had time to place a feedback
My knobs had gone everywhere
They appear on volksamerica online magazine
Someone commission me to make knobs an something else for SEMA
A shop call rolling bones hot rod shop contacted me to build a book case for there shop book, that tells you or tells me I'm doing some good with quality and backing it up with refunds or replacing
Thx everyone for the support

I purchased these Type-3 Clear Taillight Lenses for $12 plus $18 shipping from Art Parga. Do not waste your time with his stuff as he is trying to make them himself. They are crap... he essentially is having others pay for his garbage as he experiments! I would have been better served if he just mailed a piece of dog shit in the mail! He posts a picture of one thing, and then ships me something completely different! That's known as fraud!
Here's the picture from his ad
Now here is what I received in the mail
I hope someone sells him two pieces of shit... actual shit... for $30 someday... karma has a way of getting back at you!

Ok, if you say so.
| art parga wrote: |

Nah, but thank you.
I see you took the ad down, but still offered it to me.
Are you embarrassed to have the ad up?
| art parga wrote: |

Uh, ya... you just offered it to me?
Can you substantiate (provide proof) it's NOT cheap aftermarket?
| art parga wrote: |

Uh, you just asked me that?... and I replied.

Who can afford a single $600 JC Whitney mirror?
Maybe if it was a pair

Yes, there is a lot of "simple" here.

This is a public forum... you are really answering to everyone... (not just me).
Your future potential customers surely are interested in you standing behind your statements.
You really have nothing of substance to say?
