Default idiots on ebay!

was watching an m3 on ebay as im looking for one as a track car.
it was cheap and was described as a bit rough round the edges-sounds ideal as a track car.
win the auction at what is very reasonable money-great.

hpi the car before collecting it....................cat c write off!

emailed the guy who i suspect already knew this as the car has been on before and relisted"due to timewaster".plus im 99% sure he is a trader acting daft and " choosing" not to advertise its cat c in the hope someone just comes along and buys it.
tell him ive found its cat c and if its been badly damaged on the body wouldnt be an ideal track car unless its been safely and properly repaired.never actually said i didnt want it at this point,just that i was a little concerned.he replies "no problem" and thats it.

next thing i have got a negative feedback"won car then decided not to buy".prick!

of course i have replied and given him neg feedback too......

just a dodgy fucker trying to have someone over-had he advertised it as cat c write off in the ad he probably would have sold it anyway-as it was cheap.....£2700.

That would of fucked his future sale of it up

not worth buying though Jay,cheaper money though.

it might be worth a look to see whats up with it and how good or bad its been repaired.

thats what i was going to do dave,but he has just gone ahead and put shit feedback without even contacting me-its as if he is saying"oh,you know about cars so wont buy it when you see it anyway-its not worth even trying to sell it to you"he is waiting for someone with a labrador and white stick to bid on it.

search continues.......

Jay - you are aware that you can appeal unfair feedback? It may be a good case for you on this one!
