"I also contacted the seller, and he stated he was too busy to allow me to come over and look at the wheels in person prior to my placing a bid. I would stay away from these, as it appears he's trying to hide something."
Are you serious? "too busy to check them out"?? Does he REALLY want to sell these or no??? How could you say "i want to sell this item...but you cant come see it though...."
It amazes me, how people like this make it past 5, without doing something incredibly stupid, and getting killed by natural selection.
I just cant figure out, how this many people have slipped thru the cracks, of the otherwise very successful process, that has kept this planet perfectly balanced for hundreds of thousands of years..... Im truly stumped..
And all your guys' posts about "we should turn him in"... To who.... Not that I dont agree with you but.. Who in the HELL, would give enough of a shlt, to care whether some dumb 20 year old car wheels were reproduction or not. Are you kidding me? I mean really now. Take a number and get in line. Who are you kidding. There would be literally THOUSANDS of cases on ebay ALONE, they'd have to investigate, if there was actually a division doing this sort of legwork... Thats like hunting down a car thief in brooklyn. Or a cop killer in detroit, or a certain latino gang member in east L.A.
There's probably no less than ten thousand auctions on ebay right this second going down, that are fraudulent. Right now. How do you supposed the investigator would assign precedence or priority to each case? I would think it would be maybe, by how many dollars he aims on cheating someone out of maybe? like, trying to sell a fiero with a ferrari bodykit as the real deal, for 95,000? I dont know... but at any rate, im almost positive, that the line is soo long, that anything under 5 grand would not only not be looked at, but would most likely just get thrown directly into the garbage can. It sucks too. The only thing we can do, is to stay on his back, and mail his bidders, and politely inform them, of this guys shady actions... I hate to see people get screwed. Especially another buick enthusiast.
