Someone is selling on ebay - piece meal - what appears to be a complete STI8. Very suspicious !!!!

Any police interest in this ????

Looks like a somewhat suspect sale !!!

how??

 

why suspicious?....its just the bonnet. isnt it?

 

There are a few other bits being offered by the seller as well but way off the number of items there would be if it was dodgy.

It's one hell of a "Modification"

 

Which modification involves binning the engine block?

 

2.5 litre block?

 

He has with drawn other items i see.

Dodgy or what ?

 

I noticed them earlier on.

There were seats and an entire dash up there. Suspicious as hell IMHO

The fact that all the items have suddenly disappeared would suggest that the seller either reads SN or eBay thought it was a bit dodgy.

I know where my money lies..........

 

Light weight seats,
Carbon Bonnet.
New cams - Heads wernt for sale
New block
New turbo & intercooler (Notice he knew the spec of the turbo)

FFS.. Im 99% sure he owns the car.

I would be more concerned about the previous transatctions being Matrix figurines being sold from a US address, Looks like the ebay account has been compromised or user account has been bought for instant positive feedback.

 

The guy bought them from the US.

FFS guys be vigilant but read things properly - your comments have probably fcuked up another enthusiast's sales.

 

i would be more worried about the fact that the guy collects matrix figures

 

 

I hope not I just bought a downpipe and centre section of him!!!!!

 

I sent the seller an email asking a question , and got no reply !

 

I understand that essex police have been informed.

 

he hasnt got anything for sale now i wonder you boys might be right has anyone lost a sti8 on here lately

 

[Memo to me: Subscribe to thread to see what happens...]

Hope you get your exhaust bit m8

 

Hey trashman, Read my message again, I said transactions I did not say he sold them, All of his previous TRANSACTIONS have been small childish items, now he has (had) a mass of possibly dodgy car parts for sale.

it just doesnt add up.

I suspect someone has purchased a positive ebay account, it is very common practise.

 

You ought to read my ebay feedback sometime. I was selling and buying many items for a few quid a piece then tried to sell a whole car. Funny enough it didn't sell - I expect someone on Lagunasport thought I was dodgy and emailed the buyers just in case - I'll have to check the posts around that time too. Sold many computer bits as well - hadn't nicked a computer or knocked off a warehouse.

Yes, I know ebay can be a dodgy oplace but sorry I just don't agree with the witch hunt. I don't see that selling car parts makes them dodgy (or possibly dodgy even). Nor do I think a string of buying colectors items then a switch to selling some largish items is so unusual. In fact I think that's what a lot of ebayers do.

Anyway, I hope I'm right and it is all legit.

 

this is to the prat who started this thread, you have proberly caused a lot of ulcers in worrying a lot people about losing alot of money for no reason other than speculation, by the sound of the reply i got from the seller of the turbo i bought you have caused him alot of problems. and yes the turbo i bought off him was just how he explained it, if not better so in future i would keep your idle banter ro yourself umless you have evidence of dodgyness.
