Suspicious KB seller on Ebay

[Dan_Soprano]

i emailed him and asked him like 5 questions about it and all he said was this,
"if you want to buy it now the price that i want to sell it now is 1250 usd including the shipping cost."

"If you are interested to buy it let me know ASAP,"

Thank you, Chris

Same thing that everyone else has gotten. The price seems to be a bit different that he gives people though. He told me $1650 USD. I bet this ass wasn't expecting the whole SVTP Mafia to jump on him!!! :rockon: :bash:

Good catch. The first auction for this scam was 7941731763. You can also check all of his auctions by his user name.

[Emmerson_Biggins]

WTF???!!!! I own one too. Big deal!! oke:

I think that what they were saying is that they won the original auction the pictures and description were stolen from.HERE

This guy sure looks like a rip off... but, eBay still has the ad active.

 

[Dan_Soprano]

I say we all bid on it and get it up to like $4000 and then have the winner tell ebay he paid him and he didn't send the part. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

That could work!!

 

[cobravenom39]

That could work!!

That already happened on his last auction. Why did Ebay let him operate if he already ripped someone off!

 

[ChargedBlack03]

Great info guys! I seen it on ebay a couple of days ago and thought about bidding on it.

In other words, your SOL if you get ripped off. Now this pisses me off. I give them good info on a fraud and they let the auction run! :fm:

I got the same response from them. oke:

In this world, that POS seller would sue us and win. We'd end up owning him money!

 

[05 Roush]

Someone could post the same auction up and have the same product with a DO NOT BUY THIS! It will show up in the same eBay area. That should stop it quickly.

 

[RickSvt]

Here is what I wrote to the seller again, here is his reply..HAHA

ME - I talked to the owner of this blower, check out this link…

HIM - I think this is a confusion'

When you guys wrote ebay, did you write them and tell them to check out the original auction????????????

[Dan_Soprano]

Damn, I hope no one gets nabbed by this ass. I'd hate to see a fellow terminator owner get ripped!!

 

[Emmerson_Biggins]

Ebay told me that it is common for legitimate sellers to borrow pictures and descriptions from other auctions that did really well, or because they are too lazy/stupid to generate a legitimate description and pictures on their own.

Of course I summed this up. In ebay-eze it was about ten paragraphs long and politically correct.

 

[RickSvt]

WEll who wants to bid him up to 10k...lol
