Ebay Questions... Don't you just love them :cry:
I sold my OZ wheels on Ebay (finally) and I got a few questions about them. I clearly stated that I didn't know what the offset of them was, and they are stamped in big letters FORD RACING.
Usual divs asked me the offset, but one bloke asked if they would fit a Renault... How should I know?! I just replied saying "I don't know, but aren't they 5 stud?"
Just to get rid of the guy... Anyway, I get this email back a day before the auction ends...
Dear tony_turbo,
TERRY TURBO,I AM SORRY BUT MY CAR WILL NOT FIT THESE WHEELS.I WILL NOT BE BIDDING ON THEM ANY MORE.I WILL RETRACT MY BID.I ASKED U TO FIND OUT WHETHER THEY WOULD FIT A RENAULT AND U DIDNT.RENAULTS ARE 4 STUD BY THE WAY.L8RS.
I didn't reply incase he was a serious bidder. However, as the wheels are now gone, I thought I should reply, because he sounds like a bit of a knob, and he got my name wrong. His name on ebay is something like Ollie12169, so here is what I sent him back...
Good afternoon Orvil12374,
Sorry for delay in getting back you, the wheels are now sold, so thank you for bidding on them anyway. Also thank you for letting me know Renaults are 4 stud, I can now sleep easier at night. Why would you want to fit a FORD RACING wheel to a Renault anyway, they won't give it any more credability, it will still always be a French shitbox.
Ciao,
Terry
I am eagerly awaiting a witty reply

Got a book on eBay at the moment, had an email from a guy in Italy asking about postage, told him it would be 7 Euros/£5.
Get another email from him
I had it for sale a couple of weeks back and he asked then and then said it was too expensive then too, said he would pay 1,50 Euros max for shipping
Where the feck do these muppets come from lmao
Q: Hi, i live in Italy and i'm very very very very very interesting to this book!!!!!!!!! How much do the forwarding charges cost IN EURO to Italy? Do you accept money IN ERUO in a letter? I HOPE SO!!!!!!!!!!!! ANSWER ME, PLEASE. By dadoatomic89. Answered on 11-Mar-05
A: Airmail shipping is 7 Euros
A: Airmail shipping is 7 Euros
Q: 7,00 euro fot the forwarding charges i think is too expensive (1,50 euro = 1,00 pound). Are you sure? I usually pay from England max. 3,00 euro for the forwarding charges. ANSWER ME, PLEASE. By dadoatomic89.
A: You complained last time when i had a similar item for sale, if you dont like the charge then dont bid for my item. 7 Euros is approx 5 GBP, it also includes a protective pad pack and insurance

Whats the scam with people wanting to buy from africa and nigeria, i get em all the time, i know there dodgy, is it a dodgy cheque or something??
One of the best ones I had, was when i was trying to flog an alloy of an escort cossie, and a bloke sent me an email asking me whether it was for the front or back and what tyre pressure he should put in !!!!
