Hardtop For Sale Thread

Post by pell » Thu Nov 02, 2017 9:32 am

just to keep you all posted, i made an offer of £650 yesterday before i found all this out, he has replied saying he will accept the offer, i emailed back saying a member of A forum thought it was a scam and that it was scratched, he answered taking great offense to this as its not a scam he says and he asked which forum so he can set the record straight but i didnt tell him which, i am still talking to this guy but im still worried about the scratches and how bad they are, thanks again everyone.

I would go and see it if I were you, £650 is a decent price and scratches can be repaired. Theres no ACTUAL evidence of any scamming going on, plenty of hearsay and jumping on the band wagon. It's a Buy it Now and he's accepted less than advertised which doesn't correlate with somebody trying to deviously up the price through 'shill bidding'. I'm not dismissing anything anybody has said here previously, I'd just rather have first hand knowledge than pure speculation. I could be wrong, I've been wrong before, but if I could afford it I'd follow my own intuition and see for myself.

Ebay and paypal have a certain amount of protection against foul play.

So does payment in cash, on collection. If it doesn't do it for you... walk away.

That too, which I should have added as that's the best way to go about it.

Damaged hardtop. Could be a steal? I'm happy to view if anyone wants? It's not too far from my usual route home.

Did anyone notice the hardtop hoist sale earlier today? Being sold by Speedbird230. It's strange how the thread has disappeared now... or is it?

The grey roof on ebay a few weeks back that was being sold with the hoist kit.. It was being sold by a seller called Thora-bria. Strangely Speedbird230 was bidding on it as well as a zero feedback bidder. This pushed my bids up but I smelt a rat. I didn't buy the roof. Then a few days later Speedbird230 is selling a grey hood. He's very local to Thora-bria. Then earlier today on here, he was selling a hoist kit asking for offers.
It seems all rather coincidental and after I posted in the thread it dissappeared??
Seems my genuine bids on eBay were not good enough for the greedy seller(s)?
If I'm wrong then I'm wrong but it's all rather suspicious like I said a few pages back...

I commented on the hoist thread, but it’s vanished. I assume removed by the Mods...
