What I like even better, now people are calling the Bit Char-G clones/fakes...ZipZaps!!

Tsk tsk tsk! I mean it SHOWS right on the picture that they're Micro-Q! Yet in the description it says 'ZipZaps'

Ebay = Buyer BEWARE!

eBay == World's Biggest Flea Market.

Gotta know what you are buying and how to protect yourself if you're gonna use it.

I always think ebay works on the bigger idiot theory.

For some bids I have seen I think it works! haha

Hehe, I just sent a message to the high bidder on that Auction.

Normally I wouldn't bother, but paying more than 3X the normal price is just WRONG!

Porsche · #6 10-04-2002, 10:41 AM

Yep. They are pay over $40 shipped for some thing I get shipped maxx $15!!!! And I get mine the next day!!! DANG!!! Well I figure if people are going to buy I might as well get in on this. I am goibng to buy a mother load of stuff!!!

www.radioshack.com has a lot of the ZZ stuff in stock.
Just order there rather than running all over the place.
That's what I did...

RadioShack.com SUCKS !!

I ordered the Yellow Honda Zip Zap and the Neon Blue Zip Zaps. With the FF Tuner Kit and the FF Body Kit. I place the order online (the website says it is ALL in stock) and then a few days later I get an email with a number saying everything was shipped. And oddly there was no tracking number, and no way to check an order status online.

I call the 1-800 number for customer service, and the first person I got had no clue what ZipZaps were, and after I gave her my order number..she placed me on hold.for almost 8 minutes..I hung up. I call again, and another person picks up, and puts me on hold. After 10 minutes she says the order has been cancelled. She tells me all the stuff I ordered is ALL out of stock, and has no clue when they will have all the stuff in stock again. But you see they already charged my CC and I its like 2-3 days now..and still no credit back. RadioShack tells me I have to wait 2 weeks, to get my money back.

To hell with Radio Shack, and there el cheapo parts and lousy customer service. I want my money back NOW :mad

Just a warning to everyone out there.

PS. This is the reason the prices of these kits are soo high on eBay. Ah wells, all those folks are going to be dissapointed when the BitChar-G folks shows off the speed and look of there cars
