there's an FB sedan on ebay Ebay Item #260366777490, i'm 99% sure it was for sale in sydney not to long ago and was very rusty so if anybody is bidding or watching or knows somebody that is it would be VERY advisable to go have a GOOD look at it as yet seller has not answered my questions as to the rust repairs ::) Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on February 25, 2009, 02:37:12 PM Thanks RB, who said we don't want your opinion ;)
The seller must be going for the blind crowd with the lettering he's chosen for the ad words ::) Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: Wayne on February 25, 2009, 04:59:42 PM Hi
I do not know if you realize it but it is the same person that is selling both the FC and FB be aware. WAYNE Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: newman on February 25, 2009, 08:31:21 PM As a newcomer to the forum I have only mentioned my opinion about the whole Ebay concept in another listing, yes I've been caught which is why I joined this forum to be among like minded people.
So far I've had and received messages from a few different members about a variety of subjects and all seem to be "Good Guys",but as I've said elsewhere I now follow the "once bitten twice shy" rule as far as Ebay goes. Mick P.S. I'm not aiming at the many honest Ebayer traders,just the ones who are downright dishonest. Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: lucky_gwen on February 25, 2009, 08:47:30 PM This is the same guy who ripped us off $4600 last august for an FC in which he lied to us about its condition. Couldn't go see it cause we are in Canberra. Nice as pie to you until he receives your money then his demeener changes. He has been blacklisted because of this incident and has changed his username 3 times.
Make sure you personally look at his cars before you bid. Bidder and buyer beware. Janette Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: ratbox on February 25, 2009, 10:17:13 PM he has finally answered my email, very vague but sounds like he has done nothing to it
i feel very sorry for the high bidder and there's nothing you can do lucky_gwen sorry there was nobody to help you but if this saves even one person spending to much money on that car i'll feel better Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: NosFEratu on February 25, 2009, 10:21:10 PM Moderators - can you please investigate this. Someone has taken over Ratbox's profile - these posts are just way too warm and fuzzy and concerned about others - it can't possibly be Ratbox! ;) :D

Seriously though, it's good to get knowledge from people "in the know" - if it means a fellow enthusiast is forewarned then, in my view, the forum has served part of it's purpose! Now go back and play with your box of dead rats! ;) Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: pedro on February 27, 2009, 08:54:27 AM Quote GET F#%KED EVERYBODY Now that,s more like it, you had us worried there for a minute :o, as Kathi said all in fun ;D ;D, seriously though you could have saved someone thousands of dollars and a lot of heartbreak by letting people know about this moron and his ripoffs so you definately did the right thing. Pedro Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on February 27, 2009, 09:58:37 AM Nothing, just wanted to see the 3 avatars in row :D

Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: pharlapfc on March 03, 2009, 10:30:45 PM Has anyone seen the Queensland the two tone blue FC that is for sale on ebay now?
Does it have a rust problem? Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: FB_MAD on March 04, 2009, 09:16:31 AM Yes and yes ::).
Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: lucky_gwen on March 04, 2009, 02:17:44 PM Dont buy off this guy he is a shark and will rip you off big time. Take it from experience.
Mick Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: lucky_gwen on March 04, 2009, 10:35:10 PM The cars have been removed from ebay. ::) ::) ::)
Cheers Janette Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: ratbox on March 05, 2009, 09:56:17 AM i had the FB in my watch list and it's gone from there so i assume the adds were pulled by ebay, cause if the seller pulls the add it usually stays in the watch list but says seller ended early
Title: Re: bit of a warning Post by: FC P/VAN on March 05, 2009, 12:53:33 PM I asked a few questions wanting more pics etc and this is the response i got for the fc.
