Beware of Chrome-Tec
My father, who also owns a Crossfire, recently purchased a set of chrome vent surrounds from Chrome Tec on ebay. On the display picture, they appear to be selling an entire chrome ring to place around the vents, as the entire vent, even the textured toggle pieces on the vent, are silver. Whether or not the picture is misleading or not, upon receiving the pieces from chrome-tec, my father realized that there were 2 very cheap stick on pieces for each vent, and that the $40 or so dollars spent on them after shipping was very much wasted. In the comments on chrome-tec's ebay account, my father posted that he felt the pictures were misleading and that the product was not worth the listed price. This is, after all, why the feedback section of ebay exists (especially for sellers). Later that day, chrome-tec left a negative feedback comment on his page with this message: "don't deal with him, don't trust him, he don't read the item description BAD EBAYER".
I quite frankly find chrome-tec's response to be childish and non-professional. Most businesses would first attempt to communicate with the customer and to work out the problems on a professional level. Instead, chrome-tec makes slanderous comments that quite frankly are unfounded. My father paid for the item within 5 minutes of clicking "Buy it Now," yet he receives feedback in broken english stating that he is not to be trusted. I fail to see how chrome-tec's providing an inferior product warrants name-calling to a customer that fulfilled his end of the deal promptly and in full.
I warn any potential buyers to avoid chrome-tec, as any complaints you may have about their products may cost you negative feedback on ebay and also may warrant a verbal onslaught from some very ornery Germans.
