Graham1984 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 There seems to be a worrying amount of people on this forum trying to palm off a load of lies in their sales adverts lately. Not naming any names, but there is one currently quite fresh from today, and the dyno graph one from the other week spring to mind. Are people really that desperate lately and deluded. The guy who brought my car told me a few disturbing things about some of the cars he had considered, especially when you factor in the asking prices and what was on offer for said price. People need to understand that as a forum there is a lot of knowledge on these cars both past and present; also people here have long memories. If your car has a stated power/parts list people will scrutinise any bold BHP claims and on the whole are normally correct. It's a sad day when High Wycombe sales techniques infect this place.

Graham1984 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Nice fail Rummy It's a shame really that people are getting like this. I must admit I'm skeptical about buying online too, and the things that have happened of late only reinforce that feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I'm very skeptical about buying anything from the well known Facebook group. By the look of it, at least one person has been scammed on there already. I do use the group, but I would always personally collect anything I bought off there, I would never trust sending money to a complete stranger via Facebook. On here, it is easy to look back through someones posts etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra2jze Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 It's a shame the minority have to ruin it, but I do like this forum better than others I've been on. I suppose you just have to be wary, well I certainly am after watching the movie 'Focus' last night But on a positive note, I'm chuffed with the condition of the fuel tank I received from Jay200BHP - As described & in mint cond..No rust at all! Thanks Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jay Leave feedback for it too. It doesn't guarantee an easy transaction, but it does help put peoples minds at ease slightly if they have previous feedback ratings.

listy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The one you mention from today was not an attempt to be misleading, but a mere misguided advert. I pm'd the member in question and he has since redone the advert at my request. The dyno one, granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I've been done on here, despite the member having various dispute threads against them, they continue to sell bits on here. My advice is to avoid paying as a 'gift' via paypal as dispute threads will not resolve the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanC Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Been quite lucky with the stuff I've bought off people really Don't think I'd ever pay for something really expensive to be delivered to me though, only the smaller stuff.

I am told im too honest I totally agree in solving the problem, but when you buy something stating no fitment issues and all is perfect. After the item was sold I was told I need to modify this/that blah blah blah. End result I cut my loss sold them on with honesty to a member who had them modified to fit, I ended up with brand new Recaro that fit 100% no problems! If I had known the seats Monkey sold me need to be modified in some way I would have totally avoided the sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I only buy from people I've had interaction with, or people that have been on the forum a long time, that are regularly active. I think it is pretty easy to tell who is an enthusiast and sees the forum as a comunity, and who is here just to take advantage of the forums benefits.
