NO SCRATCHES!!! as he said that they were free from any scratches. which they had arrived today. and guess what SCRATCHES EVERYWERE!!!

Here's a link to Chromemaster's website http://www.chromemasters.com/. They have a price list for damn near anything you want chromed. It should give you an idea of price range. There is also the option of powder coating them as well.

Chroming is not cheap... re-chroming is even more...
You'll probably find that it would be cheaper to buy a new set of bars...
Personally I wouldn't bother with rechroming... unless its a one of a kind thing... you know... the stuff they don't make anymore...

Damn.....the prices on Chromemaster's website are as high as buying new chrome from the MOCO, and you don't have to pay shipping to and from.

save the emails and contact ebay, he will have to refund your money. best thing is to have a paypal account, they freeze the money until the problem is resolved. also the new ebay policy is that a seller cant leave negative feedback for a buyer, only positive or nothing, but you can leave negative for him. i had a dispute about some tie rods and they refunded my money.
