What happened to the ebayer selling the ///M Steering wheel?

i2iSTUDIOS · 07-05-2008, 10:04 AM

I am looking for the tri-stitched steering wheel and folks tell me to look on ebay it I can't find it anywhere for a price around $300. Can anyone help me out?

san~man · 07-05-2008, 10:17 AM

His seller name is qalbeli, but he doesn't have anything for sale atm (which is strange).

ihyln · 07-05-2008, 11:39 AM

Once I get my perf steering wheel I will be putting up my stock one for sale, sans airbag.

Yeah, looks like he's either on vacation or he's revamping his store. Anyways, his email is albert_eliasson@hotmail.com

yea, i was lookin for the same thing, thanx for the info!

He's not allowed to post for 30 days because he got one negative feedback and one neutral feedback. I think the rule is if 10% of your feedback is not positive, then they suspend you selling privilege for 30 days.

EBay policies have gotten a lot more strict and they are really hurting low volume sellers like qalbeli. You sell 20 items a month, get 2 not perfect feedbacks and bam, you're SOL. Even if you have 1900 positive feedback in the past 12 months.

I'm waiting for him to start posting again so I can get a cashback rebate through ebay. But if you are in a hurry to get the item, you can send him an email and see if you can do something for you.

retrodrive · 07-06-2008, 04:14 PM

retrodrive · 07-06-2008, 04:25 PM

yes, it has the tri-color stitching and its for the manual car. The reason I am selling is because I just installed the BMW Performance wheel. Check it out:

aww...damn...i was lookin for the step version...

roadkillrob · 07-06-2008, 05:11 PM

I emailed him and he is unhappy with the ebay thing and setting up his own website/store.

Just email him - he is still selling stuff!

Dude, I'm in San Diego right now on vacation. I wish I saw this earlier, I just sent the ebay seller money for a new one

That would have saved me tons of money.

Check your PM.

FYI, qalbeli's store is back up and running on the 'Bay. With the Microsoft Live Search promo going on right now, you can buy one for about $360 shipped, and get a rebate of around $75 from MS (25% of the pre-shipping sales price). Obviously the net cost is about $285. Read more here. I ordered my M3 wheel last night!

cipher5 · 08-12-2008, 08:49 AM

what do you search for?

Search for "cheap ps2". It will provide links to eBay with the 25% discount. At that point you just have to buy an item from a Buy It Now vendor (like the M3 steering wheel guy) within one hour, then follow the directions provided. The 25% rate was available last night, but the actual discount has gone up and down a few times over the last few weeks, so your mileage may vary.

IM2C · 08-12-2008, 02:15 PM

No more e-bay discount...

It still appears to be working fine for me. Try searching for "cheap ps2" at http://www.live.com/.

OK, I got to e-bay, but how did you get a discount?
