We ve made a deal on price for me to buy this Turbo and ship it here in Canada.
The only issue is how to give payment.
I speak ZERO Bulgarian and Ivo s english is limited.
Can someone vouch for e mail money transfer as a reliable type of payment that is free of any charges?
He wants paypal and it s 4% fee. Paypal doesn`t have insurance either.
Looking forward to running this big bad boy on my little AHU it just needs to get here!
Help me out english/Bulgarian fellow board memebers...
Maybe you can vouche for me Tyler??
-
Short of sending a cheque or cash I don't know of any free money transfers. I am unfamiliar with email money transfers.
I would just use PayPal or get a money order. Money orders are supposedly insured but talk to the issuing institution for details and limitations.
-
I've used xoom.com a few times for international wire transfers, it's like $5 for a transaction, works great. Just get all the reciever's banking numbers as listed on the site.
-
I m curious if anyone knows if this person is the same person on TDIclub known as CERBER.
Would anyone be able to chime in here and vouche for Galaboff?
-
Looks like it is CERBER from tdiclub... watch out guys... unless the guy has changed his business practices.
-
payment sent via paypal....
-
Let us know how this works out jimbote
-
I will.... honestly I purchased an intake from him (aka cerber:?) via TDI club a year or so ago ....went OK....so my fingers are crossed :)
-
galaboff has been around the site for a long time guys..
-
package has shipped and I have a traceable tracking number via usps....I'll let y'all know when it arrives :)
-
galaboff has been around the site for a long time guys..
He hasn't made many friends on the tdiclub. Just trying to be watchful for others, that's all.

Yeah...agreed, buyer beware.... I know a few people had issues with cerber on TDI club, my experience was OK, that's why I'm willing to give him more business....I'm also aware that a turbo is far more complex than an intake which has zero moving parts...but at $400 cheaper than the cheapest I could find elsewhere I'm taking a chance and gonna let paypal sort it if the turbo arrives in less than great condition.... also want to add that he's been communicative during the transaction process and he included a "free" collector flange for the turbo :)

I ended up getting a brand new turbo from e bay.
I decided this 1756 was a bit to big and it wasn`t water cooled.
So I went with the GTB1752V, water cooled, brand new including all lines,
already had the vaccum actuator from factory, and cheap!
Let us know how this seller works out for you.
Seemed alright when I spoke with him over e mails.
I asked if he went by cerber on the TDI club website and he
said he was never a memeber over there and had no idea who cerber was.
This made me shy away from the sale.
-
OK...just wanted to say I did receive the turbo yesterday morning....however the turbo was not converted to vacuum operation as the original ad and picture indicated....he included some parts for the conversion but the main bracket that holds the vacuum diaphragm was not included.... again cerber/galabov/ivan/ivo, whatever you call yourself, could probably make a killing selling parts in the US market if you just sold what you advertised and made good on the bad.... that being said the turbo appears to be in good shape...but it is NOT the same turbo that was pictured in this thread ....I will post pics later today...

and refund you some money for vacuum conversion.

OK Ivan since you won't respond to PM's I'll make it public .... I'm not going to berate you on your bad business practices because it does not seem to influence your behaviour anyway....here's the deal...you send me the missing bracket and $150 USD (us dollars) via paypal and I'll drop the paypal claim against your account....I will not drop the claim until both conditions are met....I believe this is more than fair seeing as how I have to use my valuable time researching the conversion procedure and then performing it ....let me know how you want to proceed
-
At least you have a turbo in your possession. Hopefully he'll work things out in a timely fashion. Unfortunately the paypal refund system takes a bunch of time.
-
Glad I didn't buy from this guy I figured out bout him from the tdi club minutes before I sent payment

In case search leads someone here someday... Buyer Beware:

while this was not the most satisfactory transaction I believe it will work out in the end.... this is also the second time I've bought something from Ivan.... it seems that his history selling items on here and elsewhere is very hit and miss.... caveat emptor!!

If you're both satisfied then it was a good trade.
