BDE needs VG30DE(TT) VTC cores, see below to identify

    After receiving and verifying condition, BDE will pay fee-free via PayPal $25 cash (or $35 credit) for each Early VTC, and $50 cash (or $60 credit) for each Late VTC.

    Please note, excessive rust, external damage, and/or internal wear will reduce value. Prior to shipping, email pictures of your cores to BDE.

    You are responsible for shipping cost and proper packaging to prevent damage during shipping. While packaging, take extra effort to protect the rear cam seal surfaces from damage during shipping and ensure you get paid the full price. Damage caused during shipping due to poor packaging will reduce the value of the cores and the payment you receive for them.

    The cheapest way to ship VTCs is via USPS in one of their medium Flat-Rate boxes - 6 VTC will fit into one of these boxes using the method linked below and ship for a reasonable price from anywhere in the US. Tape the box well, VTCs weigh 4 to 5 lbs each, and will easily bust open a poorly taped box. Shipping VTCs in a medium flat-rate box

    Please download and print the Core Credit Form below, fill it out, and include it with your shipment. BDE's shipping address is on the bottom of the form. Core Credit Form

Selling or exchanging your cores? - Here's what IS acceptable

    Cores should not be obviously modified in any way. Some damage may be acceptable at the discretion of BDE for a proportionate reduction in core payment or core charge refund.

Core Damage and Fees

  • The customer is responsible for all shipping expenses.

  • The customer is responsible for proper packaging. Damage during shipping is preventable by using your common sense and packaging everything to prevent excessive movement and metal to metal contact. Package your parts to protect them so you get the full payment/refund.

  • Rusty VTCs will be disassembled and evaluated upon arrival - external heavy rust will reduce core refund by 25%, internal rust will reduce core refund by 75%.

  • Threaded bolt holes that are stripped will reduce core refund by $15.00 per hole.

  • Threaded bolt bosses that are broken will reduce core refund by no less than $45.00 per hole.

  • Damaged gasket surfaces will reduce core refund by $40.00 per surface.

  • BDE will not be accountable for cores lost or damaged during shipping.

  • All damages will be pictured and emailed to the customer as proof of condition.

Core Charge Refunds

  • Core charges will be refunded if good usable cores, that are the same type as originally provided by BDE, are received within 60 days from purchase. All cores must include a Core Credit Return sheet filled out completely. BDE's shipping address is on the bottom of the Core Credit Return sheet.

  • Refunds will be issued within one week of receiving your cores.

  • Refunds will be sent via PayPal. Please note, beginning October 2019, PayPal stopped refunding their portion of the original payment fee (2.9%) for all refunds - consequently, all core charges that had a fee associated with the transaction will be refunded minus the 2.9% PayPal fee.

  • To avoid paying a core charge, BDE will accept cores in advance of purchase. Under no circumstances will BDE ship products prior to receiving either the cores or a core charge payment.

  • The customer is responsible for proper packaging and all shipping expenses. BDE will not be accountable for cores lost or damaged during shipping.

  • Core Charges seem too high? Sorry, but this is to encourage customers to return suitable cores so we don't have to continuously search for them.
