I'm not going to name and shame but i have bought a couple of items from the for sale section of this website in good faith that have been broken.

I hoped, as many people on here do that everyone who is involved in this community are straight up people and not people who are trying to pull a fast one.

Don't look on this post as all bad though,i've bought a couple of other items second hand on here that have been spot on,it's just the people that have sold the dodgy items seem to disappear into thin air (what a suprise).

All i really want to say is be careful what you buy and make sure it's in the condition you expect

What was the advertised condition?

RB5 Paul

as new

Not that it really matter what the condition was but if something doesn't work and is advertised as if it does then it's a bit out of order i think.
Don't take this the wrong way though,most people on here are into there cars and respect other people so they wouldn't sell knackered items,just be careful

What did you buy?

sorry to say m8, but i reckon it would do us all good if you actually told us who it was. saves us gettin pissed off when we buy something off the same guy and it's in the same state!!!

RB5 Paul

i bought some crystal clear side lights and a flamer kit,search threads i've posted on and you'll find the culprits
If you want to name them feel free,i'd rather give them a chance to redeem themselves,although the lack of response from pm's has been a bit disheartening

Sorry to hear that mate.

I have not bought anything from the For sale section yet but do you think it will make a difference if you dont buy from some1 with a low post count?

Should do,thats one thing i never thought of looking at,i think most people are ok on here, it's just a minority that let everyone else down.
I've bought a few other things and they have been spot on,and i have noticed there's some really nice helpful people on here,just be careful

I reckon it was one of the "+20 BHP " kits from E-bay - you know, the resistor ones

RB5 Paul

That'd be funny if i weren't £75 out of pocket

Sorry, but it's totally pointless you posting unless you name and shame.

I've bought 3 items from members here, non of them cheap and all 2nd hand.

Been extremely pleased with the items/condition and every aspect of the purchases.

I'm sure most people have had good experiences, just a few tw*ts as usual who give everyone a bad name.

Maybe they are on holiday? They should have mentioned it though save the hassle.

What the hell - go on, name and shame, there is no excuse for keeping someone hanging after hard earned has been coughed up.....

Ederboy

I have bought a couple of things, not cheap either but they were in a perfect state.Sorry to hear you've been done mate.

Brian the Sn@il

thetroublemaker

I bought a set of WRX seats from mitch C - great bloke good kit.

on another forum i go to there is a trader rating in your info bit (under postcount). Bit like ebay you can leave feedback.

www.talkaudio.co.uk- it works VERY well

RB5 Paul

As i've already said i'd rather give these people a chance to come good,and they could be on holiday as other people have stated,i'm just saying be careful,i don't think it's pointless at all.

DevilHimSelf

RB5 Totally agree with yah m8, give them a chance then NAIL em if they dont follow thru, it is the money imho, and also, its the Principal of the deal!


But as someone else posted "a few bad apples etc etc ...."

Hope it all works out RB5!

RB5 Paul

Cheers mate,glad someone sees what i'm getting at

CataIunya

Only been ripped off on here once some thieving **** in the RAF in Greece....

StickyMicky

for what its worth ive paid £25 for sumthing which still hasnt arrived, the cash arrived but the seller said he couldnt read my hand written note with my address on it

ive been away for a week so i get home after 7 days scince last contact and find no item has been posted, i sent a PM last friday with my address on it, no reply, i sent yet another pm 2day and still no reply

although acording to scoobynets profiles theres been activity on his acount scince my pm`s were receaved

i am not to concerned at the moment
these things sumtimes take a bit of time, i would have liked a reply tho stating that he had got my address intact

Daz WRX

Can I just make it clear so I dont get confused with the one who stole my name that the culprit is Daz_WRX and not just plain old Daz WRX.
Cant really tell the usernames apart as they are underlined but the space between Daz and WRX is slightly longer on Daz_WRX than mine.

Thanks.
Daz.

RB5 Paul

Yep it's an underlined Daz_WRX

ScoobywagonGl

have you checked there last activity on their profile? maybe show you if they have been active on scoobynet or not!
Again could be on holiday as many others are! do you have a phone number or anything for him?
good luck hope it all works out alright in the end!
I'm not 100% sure but i think this might be the same bloke i bought a front grille off? i ould be wrong but the name rings a bell and it arrived fine and was in excellent condition as was previously stated!
good luck let us know how you get on!

RB5 Paul

Havent seen either person online since i bought from them
