I'm really sorry to see all the BS you Guys are dealing with.
 
I paid the price for the AV unit just to avoid this type stuff.
I don't have the time to play with scammers.

Well, I'm pretty soured on these Chinese vendors on eBay!  Not sure what other options are out there that come close in price to these YingYang compressors, but there's got to be something!  I wouldn't mind paying a bit more if I knew I'd have a reputable vendor that won't rip me off.

Now, on the flip side, my tracking number is still showing movement!  I think we need to start a new thread when these little surprises start arriving so we can share what we receive in place of the compressors we ordered!  LOL!

[Sprungout]

Agreed Paul, a separate Ebay compressor scam thread should be started to alert potential buyers not in the know. Although I've read most of the 60+ pages here, I don't think most people are as excited as me about a junk compressor I don't even own yet.

Has anyone seen parts diagrams for these Chinese units?
It would be helpful to see how they're built and be able
to compare them before buying. Google search turns up
nothing.

A Google search turns up nothing because apparently these compressors don't actually exist!  They are mere figments in the imagination of a bunch of Chinese rip-off artist!  Sorry, not feeling the love tonight!  LOL!

I've read a lot of the thread, but not all of it.  Has anyone tried to buy through Amazon?  They're listed (for about $400) and I believe ship from China, but for some reason I feel better buying through Amazon even if it is a third party seller on there.

Thanks,
Joe

We do one member that has ordered one from Amazon but don't know if he has it delivered yet.

There is a lot of interest in this compressor in that they are a lot lower priced than other options.
It isn't hard to imagine that dealers here in the States that carry the other brands aren't very happy with seeing this low price alternative.
Better yet, it would be good if a State-side dealer actually carried these.

Personally, my opinion is many of the higher options are way over-priced...

It would be nice if someone would start another thread entitled Yong Heng Compressors so that we don't go off-topic when discussing this so we can get away from the ebay only title.

Heads-UP!!!!! The SAME Vendors that sell on Ebay!  Now Sell On Amazon!!!  Proceed!!!  WITH Caution If the Item is {Located in China} and not on US soil!!!  I have had 2 Amazon Deals the were a total JOKE!  Both items were thought to be in the States by me, As the listing did not say the items were located in china, And They took Forever to receive! I tried to cancel amazon said the items were shipped and in route! If I was not happy when received they would send me a return label and credit my account when they receive it back to Amazon??? >      Too the best of my knowledge all E-Bay compressors that were Purchased Here in this post and Located on US soil Were In Fact Delivered Fine, {Chime in here guys am I correct???}   I just went back through this thread and Many Buyers who did buy their compressors on ebay from Vendors on US soil. Most of those Vendors have in fact moved their products back to China??   It's very Simple when you go to Ebay search for  [Electric-High-Pressure-30MPa-Air-Compressor-System-Rifle-PCP-Air-Gun]   Then when the list comes up, On the left of the page Check the US box, It will sort out those sellers located in the US. Research their feedback and reviews!  Contact Them for ship dates when it will ship, And how it will ship - USPS Fedex Ups?  give them your zip code and ask for ETA, Communicate with them and save your emails from them!!! You may not get a rock bottom price But at least you're going to get your compressor.   And remember China is Not our Friend!! They are still our enemy but they Behave so they can in fact still trade with us.  {Fact Right now China is going thru some real Financial problems} It is well documented.. If you Research it.   Fact we asked China Not to trade or export to N-Korea, And in Fact it has actually Increased!!!  That should tell you right there how they they feel about the USA!!!!!!!   Jaa

I'd also highly recommend looking at the vendors page to see how their feedback rates. Lots of Amazon scammers popping up with zero sales, consumers not paying attention that they're not buying from Amazon and then absolutely nothing showing up ever. I've seen it a bunch with camera stuff and other consumer electronics, I'm sure these compressors will be no different. Caveat Emptor.

This doesn't work as well as you think, I just did this and half the compressors that were on the list were still shipped from China!  I think eventually these will make it to U.S. vendors.  I think I'll hold off till that happens.  As pointed out above, China is still our enemy and even tough these are all produces there, I'd just have more confidence dealing with a U.S. vendor than some fly-by-night Chinese scam artist!

No doubt we all love a great deal! I wouldn't sour on these compressors... just the low priced scammers. There's plenty of these that ship from reputable vendors on eBay in the $325-$350 range. I never buy from anyone on eBay without thousands of transactions and a minimum of 99% good feedback. You can't deal with sellers with 28 transactions on a $300 dollar item... from China no less and expect a trouble free experience.

[Bizill]

Vindicated.  Had to say it.

Seriously, quit trying to save a quick fiddy and move on.  I'm also seeing folk start to turn sour on the compressor they don't even own due to bad deals.

I can only imagine some idiot uses these compressors improperly and gets hurt and then the entire "cheap compressor" world gets turned on its head.  I'm seriously waiting for that.  I don't always dig JoeB's sales tactics, in fact never do, but do have to admit he will attempt to keep you safe.  I doubt that all purchasers of these compressors will take the time to research the right way to handle these things, nobody here of course as we're all here to learn and share info but I'd imagine a few thousand of these have made their way to consumers' hands.

 I ordered one from amazon on 8-30-2017 and it due at my door via DHL today...we see what I get...

I have only one complaint with my YH compressor, that is that it is causing me and my grandson to keep running out of pellets.
I have had it for almost 2 months now, paid top dollars ($377 delivered) for it and so far it has not let me down. Knowing that it will break down some day I have purchased a backup piston, rings and seals from Aliexpress.
Time will tell if I made a good deal but in the mean time I'm having a lot of fun and getting in a lot of good practice. Bob

[imadunatic]

LOL Bizill. I was waiting for that....

I'm not soured at all.... One is coming my way in the next six months, my winter shooting is minimal at best (30 and 40 below zero does happen here) so I have time. After Avator's words about feeding the animal though I'm not going to play into the games. I'll just spend the $330ish and get one when I'm ready. No rush if it isn't a "deal" 

[Bizill]

I must be "spoilt" as I wouldn't even want to shoot in 50 degree weather.  Desert dweller here.

I for one am not soured on the compressors, I am wary of the sellers.  My sense so far is that those that have received these compressors are happy with them.  My perception is that folks are using them to fill gun tanks and top off tanks, running the compressors a few minutes at a time and it's working well for them.

Personally, I am torn.  The potential savings is significant and my sense is they could work well for my personal use.  I don't mind fidgeting with things, and figure setting up a radiator and pump for cooling wouldn't be all that difficult.  I have several spare aquarium pumps laying around.  I am curious if I could replace the manual drain with an autodrain, but haven't found much info on those nor their cost yet.  All that said, the idea of buying a known good plug and play setup with all the features I want is appealing as well.  It will come down to how I feel when I make the purchase, do I want plug and play or do I want to have an adventure.  As I get older and more methodical, I feel luckier... sometimes.

I did find a few sellers on ebay that say they will ship from the Los Angeles area, one with 99.1% rating.  In digging further on the amazon seller, the one I found is new and has no feedback.  I am curious about the DHL shipment that is supposed to arrive today for deerfarm and am hoping it works out well for the him.  Please keep us posted on your experience.

Thanks,
Joe

The ones sold on AliExpress costing $350ish seem to be proving legit. The few guys using them to top off guns seem to be enjoying them without issue. That is what it's all about right?
