I like to F*** with these guys and send them an e-mail asking where they are because my job takes me all over the US. . . funny how they never are in the US!

They are trying to sell Bomb quads too. I even reported one to eBay and his auction got removed. . . he somehow got eBay to send an e-mail to me that his auction was removed by their error. I sent the e-mail to eBay to see if it was real and they said it was. . . Still don't believe them!

Check this out (oh, you may want to get a Kleenex. . . it really is a sad story . . . Yea. . RIGHT!):

I tried to see on offered on atvtraderonline that was listed in San Antonio. First he says he is a mute, and all communication needs to be by e-mail. Then he is out of town, but will return if I want to send a 500 dollar deposit. I'll get the deposit back if I don't like it. Then we trace his phone number to the New York area. I was checking out atvs for my boss, so I didn't mess with it any more. Just goes to show they'll try to scam money from you wherever they are. My boss did try to keep contact with the guy, but when he informed him he was dealing with someone in law enforcement, suddenly he wouldn't reply anymore.

 

I don't get it. A guy from Poland selling a quad way cheap on ebay with a NYC NY email address! Why doesn't he just use his polish e-mail? Something to hide perhaps? What really pi$$es me off is ebay is saying he is a legit seller. I tried to sell a camera on ebay once and even took a 100$ loss on it. Some guy kept jacking it up and refused to pay. I traced him down by e-mail and called his provider to find out his name. I got his home number in Hawaii and gave him a call one night shortly after he called me a fraud and I even sent him photos. I gave him his own mailing address and told him the camera was in the mail. He literally crapped himself after I said it and then apologized to me saying he thought I was a fraud because I was selling a new unopen camera for 100 under. He told me he did not have that kind of money and I threatened to sue him. It made me feel good to bust someones bubble like that. It cost me 30$ to auction with all the options i chose and I finally got tired of all the stupid questions and phone calls so I sold it to a guy at work for 200$ less. I cancelled my sellers and buyers account after that. I would rather pay the extra money and have the transaction insured by my credit card company.

 

I see now on atvraderonline they list things you should check before buying. Shouldn't that go under things you should check before letting someone advertise?
