"Warning" Bad Buyer!!

[Fisherfinder]

It's a sure bet some of us sell machines and accessories online.

I have started thinning down my collection, I've listed a couple or so machines.


This guy, ebay user name wew2003,.....

Warning to you all, put that username on your block bidder list.

Save yourself a headache

 

[anton]

can you let us know why? his ebay record of over 400 is almost unblemished...let us know so we can avoid him if it's serious..

 

[Dan-Pa.]

Thanks for info but more info needed if possible.....thanks, Dan

Ok guys,....sure.

Let me just say first a lot of people here know me.
I'm a square guy.

The very first deal over the computer I ever did, was here on Findmall.
It was a trust deal.
I showed off pictures of my 1235X with like 4 coils.
Some guy messages me, "would I be interested in a trade?"
A nice spider coil of mine for his 1200 series elliptical.
I didn't know the guy from Adam.
We shipped on the same day, he got what he needed, I got the same.

That was years ago.
But it taught me something, good people here, you don't get hustled here.

[size=large]*[/size]

This ebay buyer tried to run a really transparent hustle on me.

To be completely fair, I will simply copy and paste the ebay messages back and forth.

I called it in to ebay administration, Johnathon reviewed the messages and agreed he is a hustler.
Ebay is now monitoring his messages.


Here we go.....

Please don't jump in till I posted it all.

First here is the machine.
(I re-listed it)

All is the same, added the "Block Head" statement.

Silver Sabre uMAX

This guy, (wew2003), sends me this message...........

So what do I think?
I think somebody that knows me is pulling my leg.

Here is why.....

April, 10, 2017

My friend Harold,ILL. , poor guy, he has been searching "everywhere" for a Troy Shadow 9" Coil.
I saw his posts in a few places.

Then he posts on the CZ Forum, (Dankowski Forum)
Harold's Post

So of course I tease him with pictures just to get him all wound up.
(I wasn't being mean, I have a used 9" Shadow coil and told him I would clean it up and sell it to him)

So,.... I know it wasn't Harold, I know his posting style, and he doesn't do stuff like that.
So I figure it's one of the other guys who saw Harold's post,........
And knew I was thinning my "Herd", as I posted here......
Thinning The Herd


Who else on earth would "pull out of thin air" ... "Do you have a Troy Shadow 9" you can swap out for the brown coil?"

LOL!

It's a "pulling my leg question"

Ok, who do I know here?
Ok Ron, I'll drag him into this.......

Ron and I go to a restaurant... I order a hamburger and joke with the waitress,.... "Can I get a substitution?"
"Yes", sure,.. what would you like to swap?
Can you substitute a T bone steak for the burger patty?
Waitress says,... "Oh sure, I'll tell the cook to get right on that"

Then everybody laughs, it's a joke.


So here is my response to the guys first message........

He answered back with this......

I realize this guy may be trying to run a pretty transparent hustle on me, so I message him
to make sure it's a 9"X8" he will be looking for, and not that a $250.00 coil is going to be swapped
out for a $60.00 coil.

He messages back.........

The baloney is so thick in this message,...enough for sandwiches for every one in America.

LOL!


So, It became apparent that this guy was trying to hustle someone, "who he hoped didn't know the ropes"

I right away called Johnathon, an agent in ebay administration.
(2008 - 2012 I taught ebay listing classes, so I have an in there)

I tell him what I think, and he reads the messages.

Then he laughs.

He says, " so he was hoping you would exchange a Rolex for a Timex?"

I say yeah,
Maybe when he was at the Volkswagen dealership looking at a Beetle, he asked the salesman,
"any chance you can swap out the Volkswagen engine for a Porsche engine?, they bolt up.

Salesman, "Oh sure, I'll have the service manager get right on that", and chuckles.

Then, when he comes to pick up the car, sees there isn't a Porsche engine in it, he storms up stairs
to the owners office,.........

"The salesman promised me that a Porsche engine would be swapped into the Beetle I bought!
"He even said he would talk to the service manager about it!"

"You are trying to pull a bait and switch on me!"

"I want my money back!"


But guys, you have to read those last lines in a "whiny, California, little b-i-t-c-h, voice.
You know, the kind that you just want to,.....well I'm a Christian.

He will find his own misfortune.

Hustlers never prosper.


The End


"Options?", Comments?, more Jokes?

Johnathon and I got as far as, " This car is pretty nice, can you include the Ark of the Covenant in the back seat?

LOL!

 

[88junior]

Well my take on it was that you got him all hot and bothered then you yanked the rug out from under him. LOL but he should have had common sense that you know your stuff and the value of it. He was definitely trying to hustle you! But in all honesty Sandman your a tease. LOL

 

[Fisherfinder]

But let's be honest.... It went like this....


OK wise guy,....

Of course I do,
A brand new one, with a brand new cover.

Let me suggest this.....

The 9"X8" spider concentric from Tesoro is very, very, good.
I was very impressed.

One came on the Euro Sabre I bought.
That coil, I sent to dixiedigger, he put it on an El Dorado.
Works like a house a fire.

That coil came stock on the El Dorado, (a white one).
I called Rusty and ordered a black one for the Euro Sabre.
(it came stock with a black 9"X8")


I never said it was for sale.
I only showed off a little.

"Then", I go on for two paragraphs on my suggestion he get a 9"X8" spider.

Of course, he never mentions that.

LOL


He was trying to take advantage of someone.

Then he pours out all this "I'm the victim here"

I was waiting for,.... "think of the children"

LOL!
