If you read the above post about how far Billybobbutthead lives from Dove, it doesn't take a NASA genius to figure out how close they live. Dumpster diving is not new, or slipping defects out the back door. When you see a product that has failed final inspection, this is what they look like. Did any of the parts you got from dove have marks on them saying leaks, plug, or holes???? :
They do ship out defective parts. I've recieved them after paying for them. I've sent some of them back, and they have replaced them. They should have never been sent to me in the first place. I'm sure many of his other customers get defective parts, like me. Sometimes, the defect is not that bad that you're willing to try to correct it other than sending it back to be replaced in 6 months or so. Ive done this as well. When they are the only game in town for a specific part, you can't get it anywhere else, if you want the part bad enough, you buy it from them.


How many parts have you bought from them? I've bought about $4800 worth of parts from them.

I had just assumed that hillbillyjimbob is in the same boat as me, just that he may be a much bigger customer. I can tell you, they won't scrap any heads( i.e. throw in the dumpster). The aluminum material is worth too much. I had asked them about sending me a defective tunnel port head for a conversation piece. They still wanted about $75 or so for the "scrap" alumunim. I don;t think these heads are picked up out of the dumpster.
