Dishonest Parts Seller: Dessureau, Superhawkman

[Kathleen Walker]

Please be careful before you buy anything from Dennis Dessureau. (He
goes by Superhawkman on Ebay.) I have been suckered in by his
descriptions of NOS or "like new" parts twice. The first time, I gave
him the benefit of the doubt, and assumed he had been duped by the
dealer he claimed to have bought the parts from. Not this time.
I created an album in the "Photos" section titled "Dishonest Parts
Seller" so you can judge for yourself. There are pictures of 6 of the
8 pistons I bought through Ebay (Item number: 270295839720). They are
rusted and seized junk. Here is how he described them: "...A WHOLE
BOX OF HONDA 600 PISTONS, AND RINGS, MOST ARE LIKE NEW, ALL ARE USED
BUT MIC. OUT GOOD, INCLUDED IS A BOX OF NOS PISTON RINGS..."
The other 2 pistons look good, but have been glass-bead finished,
which I'm told makes them useless. Mr. Dessureau refunded my purchase
price--luckily, I used PayPal--but insists that I have to pay to ship
them back to him. I won't.
