buyers beware: Junk HMMWV stickers being sold on EBAY

[hmmwv0124]

Recently repainted my HMMWV and wanted to replace all the interior warning stickers. DO NOT buy from hank22af on EBAY, hes using terrible quality vinyl stickers printed on a trash printer and selling them for 28$. They wont stick to glass let alone fresh CARC. He's a scam artist who refused to refund my money or take the stickers back. Dont get screwed like it did. Pay the extra money for genuine military stickers.

dispute with paypal. Never had problems with paypal not standing up for the customer.

As said. Did you use paypal?, (You should!) If you did there will not be a problem seeking a refund.
And if not, ebay does have a good dispute policy, so if you have a genuine complaint, simply do a 'request a return' and check the box for the reason for a return from the list, and if the seller does not respond (favourably) they (ebay) will step in and resolve the problem.

If the decals all come on pne sheet, they are definitely not real. Some of those shpuld be metal anyways.
Did you sand the CARC and clean it before applying your stickers?

Just for clarification, to me its not about the money lost. I think we all want quality parts for our vehicles. For me personally, I see it as a true injustice to a military vehicle to put anything but the best parts or accessories available on it. This guy on EBAY is running a small time scam on a specific group of people looking to keep their HMMWV's looking original. There are stickers available through other means that are high quality and as good as original, but not necessarily cheap. I got lazy and saw a printed sheet of seemingly high quality stickers available on ebay and got had. As a community of military vehicle owners, I think we should let each other know when someone is trying to make an easy buck on trash parts.

I know it sounds like I'm taking up for ebay, but that's not really true. I don't think ebay is running a scam. They simply offer a marketplace for a range of items. There's certainly groups out there that are scamming people though. Just last week I found a MV parts supplier that had listed a can of krylon green spray paint for $13 a can. The scam was that they put their label on it and changed the caps on the top to cover up who the mfg was. These same cans of paint can be had at just about any retail store for $5. To top it off they were passing it off as a true MV color, which it is not.

While you may want the best parts you can buy that is not the way a lot of people on this forum think. Many don't care about the quality of the parts or how they cobble stuff together as long as it is cheap .

Makes me think of a cooling accessory being sold. Some people said beware then got chewed put by everyone.
Also a company selling originsl 2nd generation xdoors. Lol
We all have to do a little research before spending money.

If your concerned about putting the proper parts on your truck...buy them from a distributor.
i know the person you are referring too, I know the listing and product, I would never buy them as I know that they are not real thing as used from the mfg. The price is a dead giveaway, OEM are $5-10ea piece

I was reading through the archives here at SS and felt obligated to reply. I purchased a set of these decals from ebay about 4-5 months ago. I though they were pretty inexpensive compared to some of the alternatives of buying the military decals individually and one of the main resons I decided to try out one of these hmmwv decal sets. I just finished repainting my M998 as well. I applied the decals and had no issues with pealing in the area where the paint was smooth. I did apply one of the decals to the rear passenger seat area, an area that didnt get sanded as well as I liked prior to painting. I did have a little bit of peeling on this decal but that was my fault for not being as through with my sanding.

Buy cheap products, get what you pay for...I see this all the time in the shop, especially with cheap ignition switches and lighting, like anything, you get what you pay for.
take tools for example....I use harbor freight electric impact guns, they are cheap compared to Mac and snap on, but they work and I beat them to death every day, 7 days a well, if I get a year out of them, I’m happy, the batteries go before the tool does. I have more expensive tools...and they seem to last the same.
you lost 20 bucks...be glad you didn’t loose hundreds, or even thousands.

So, stickers, OEM, I need to replace my wait to start sticker and another sticker. Where can I find OEM stickers ?

I looked at the sheet of stickers on EBay but decided to wait, after reading this post I’m glad I did. So now I’m looking for OEM stickers.

Thanks

Kascar has hundreds of NOS stickers. I've seen them in the warehouse. Talk to Ron.

Talked with Ron they don't have the "wait to start.." decal but I did order a couple of other decals.

I was in the same boat. I ended up buying the decals from ebay since that was the only place I could find that had the ones I wanted. They are working great for me, I didnt have any issues.
