Default Scoobynet Messer???



I think we have a messer in our midst

We were looking on here for some wheels for sale. Found some - sent a PM, agreed a price - deal? Yes?? NO!!!
After "seller" PM'd his paypal details - we picked up our mail later that day. Due to Paypal not recognising our password - it caused a slight delay (a matter of hours).
Following day he sent a PM they were sold!! We sent a PM back for explanation he replied saying he thought we didn't want them!

Over the next couple of days we searched e-bay - and low and behold - what did we see????? EXACTLY THE SAME WHEELS being sold by EXACTLY THE SAME SELLER!!!

What a messer!!!!

Well, the "seller" is NOT an ESC member - but is a member of Scoobynet (obviously).

I do beleive we were tucked up becuse as I said - the wheels are currently on e-bay (with bids), and the picture shown is the exact same picture that was on the thread on SN. No mistaking the picture. and on E-bay, he's a reputed seller it seems! We did send him a message via e-bay to ask if the wheels were still available - after all they are bidding on them. He hasn't replied to message and I feel that the listing musr've been created AFTER he'd "sold" them to us!

Just feel pi$$ed off really that people get away with things like that!

Re: wheels
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paypal preffered best price is £70 as scrap value is almost that but there far too good to scrap.£70 for a set of 17" rims including delivery is madness lol total bargain

CheeRs
Darren

all the PM's are individual - so as instead of relying he started a new pm! But here's the gist.

He then replied with his paypal

Link to wheels.

Subaru Impreza 17" Alloy Wheels WRX Sti Sport GL Legacy on eBay, also, Subaru, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 05-Jan-08 23:25:56 GMT)

Link to ebay seller.

JD Motorsport 01228 792077

Most of his past posts he's started in Private for sale which doesn't seem right if he is a dealer.

I took that as a given , at the seller though it's still a stretch to descibe the curbing as minor, completely curbed would have been more accurate
