BLOCKIT sound deadening mats for C7
**All prices listed include shipping. Paypal is extra - send as gift, pay the fee on your end, or send a check to avoid paypal altogether. **
**All items will ship next Monday via USPS priority with tracking #, as I am trading in the car this Saturday. Please plan accordingly on your end**
Selling the 3 piece BLOCKIT kit for the C7s - rear hatch area, and behind both driver and passenger seat backs. I have had these in since Day 1 of owning the car and a big believer. Noise DB ratings are not linear, and even a 4-5 db reduction in noise level inside the car makes for a much lower stress level on long trips. These are in great condition, quick to install or remove and all around money well spent.
They are $229.95 new. I am asking $150 shipped.
Here they are for reference only, this is the link to them new: https://www.westcoastcorvette.com/p-...and-sport.aspx

You are an interesting cat. After lowballing me and haggling multiple times, I kept it polite with only a "my price is firm" response multiple times. Then you were short in your PayPal payment. I should have pulled the plug but out of courtesy, still shipped it to you. And within 5 minutes of item being delivered you open a PayPal dispute without making any attempt to contact me. This whole pattern sounds predictable.
Here's the common sense in this you are missing. You paid less than half of what it costs new ($125). Normal wear and tear is reasonable. My ad is very clearly worded. Hence it's half the price. No ****, right?
You are welcome to clean the stain and vacuum it before you use it. You should do that anyway.
Read ads carefully. Have reasonable expectations when buying used items on classifieds. Stop cruising the internet trying to scam people. Again, all common sense.
Well let PayPal handle this dispute, ok?

1) Im not scamming you, you are scamming me.
2) Stains can be removed and i can vacuum, but the tear on one end cannot be fixed, there is also a ripped/torn patch that cannot be fixed. Pictures don't lie.
3) It's not half price, you sold it for $150, and new is $220. So that's not half price. Additionally i provided you with a shipping label and made it super easy for you. With any sale, negotiations happen, and you already know that.
4) I was not short on my payment, paypal charges 3% fees, which i added as well.
5) Your ad nowhere stated that there are rips, tears, stains and hair all over.
You have the audacity to argue after i posted the pictures? Shame on you dude...Ridiculous

Iced,
These are foam, looks like normal wear and tear as would be expected say like with floor mats, but 2 of these fit behind the seats and are never even seen, and the other in the cargo area, again in an area not hardly seen, especially under the stock cargo cover most of us have that came with the car or that we purchased after we got the car.
These are not fancy Lloyd's floormats or something ever designed to look pretty and enhance the look of the car. They sit behind the seats and not seen, and sit in the cargo area, where cargo naturally goes, and everything we transport goes on top of those foam pads. A minor tear or spot here or there is simply normal wear and tear. They aren't custom show glamour type pieces, and never were designed or expected to be.
If they aren't for you, as a suggestion for you to easily and fairly resolve your dissatisfaction, I'm sure others here will gladly scoop them up at that discounted price... so sell them for what you paid, or let him sell them, and you ship them to the next buyer, and he can refund what you paid when the next buyer receives them.
Work together. Sell them, let him sell them and you ship them, or simply not worry about a little tear or them being a bit dirty from normal use and enjoy them.
Good luck to both of you, and work together.

(1)The price included shipping. If the guy sends you a shipping label, it’s normal to expect the anticipated shipping cost you would have paid, as a reduction in the price paid.
(2)The listing has ONE sentence about condition. There is a whole paragraph worried about the 3% PayPal fee. Sending the money F&F or by check removes the protections for the buyer and seller. Just add 3% to your asking price. The single sentence regarding condition simply says GREAT condition. Great means they are almost in like new condition. Good would indicate that maybe it’s got some normal wear and tear. Since the opinion is different from person to person, a small addition clarifies. “Great condition with a few random stains and a minor tear.” “These will need to be cleaned by you.” Seems pretty simple.
(3)Just because the item is priced is 65% of the new price, doesn’t mean multiple visual damages to the item should be expected. If a dealer sells an open box item that is like new, a discount is typically offered to move the product. He knows a customer is going to be upset paying full retail and getting anything less than a brand new perfect product. A perfect used item is still used and maybe contain the smell of your car(which may or may not be pleasant to another) and internal wear that is not visual. That internal wear may cause an earlier failure than a new product. That is the ecpection of a great condition used product. Also, you offer zero warranty, where as a retailer would typically incur an expense getting a warranty item shipped to you. A private seller offers zero future support. So to think if the mats had zero tears, hairs, or chunks missing would mean they are worth more than 65% of retail is unreasonable..
(4)The price says ASKING $150. Asking implies that you are open to offers. Writing $150 FIRM would have saved you from typing 2 additional characters and made it clear that the buyer you are not open to the idea. Offering lower may cause their message to be deleted and ignored.
(5)Just because they are not highly visible on the car, doesn’t mean that it is acceptable to all people. Some people do not carry cargo in their $100,000+ Z06. Some people use their C7 as a work vehicle and don’t mind trashing it. Just depends on the buyer. Pictures of the flaws level out expectations. With how easy it is to take a picture and post it online, there’s really no excuse.
Just trying to help...don’t shoot the messenger. Everyone has different interpretations of things. Assumptions generally lead to disappointment.

If you used PayPal, let them know. All they require is you return them to get your money back. They "may" consider refunding your shipping expense as a goodwill measure.
Work with the seller, working together you both can likely work it out.
Good luck to both of you.

Can't this (these) be placed under the carpeting? I pulled up all my carpeting and covered the area in 2 layers of sound deadening material. Very easy to do. Certainly a better alternative than an exposed piece of foam matting that can rip/tear/ and be almost impossible to maintain in presentable condition. Also... most of the road / tire noise comes from the wheel wells.
Just my 2 cents.

In the instructions from the manufacturer, you are supposed to place this on top of the carpet. Hence, it should be in presentable form since you are driving a corvette and not a corolla.
In any case, it should be in "great condition" as mentioned by seller. Which it's not...

If you clean it, it is in great condition. Especially for $125.
People who pay half price for an item but expect brand new quality always crack me up. If you are a perfectionist or don't have the inclination to clean used parts before using them, open your wallet a bit more and buy new. In other words, you get what you pay for.
If you had the decency to contact me prior to opening a claim and sobbing on the forum, I would have been inclined to refund you the money and let you keep the item, though you always struck me as a lowballing cheapskate - exactly the kind I don't have a lot of patience for. Someone who opens a claim minutes after receiving an item they got a great deal on, making no attempt to be reasonable just rubs me the wrong way. At this point, let's leave paypal to handle this.
Conversation over. Have a great weekend.

Still blind, in denial and absurdly wrong i see?
Doesn't matter the price, you should have mentioned it was ripped and torn. i would not have bought this POS from you...
Of course i'll let paypal handle it. And then it will be reversed by my credit card company if paypal takes too long.
Goodluck selling your other junk.
