Frikking tosser .

This is why ive finished up on ebay , cause i cant compete with the bullshit that comes out of these idiots mouths . Ill send my radar gun down there to keep the prick honest .

That car is actually listed in the catalogue of the factory that distributes the stuff we import . He pays $126US and by the time you convert it to AU with the cutrrent exchange rate of 77c then add shipping etc , hes paying just shy of $230 for it and with his bullshit and lying techniques , hes clearing $270 or so profit .

Why dont we all open up a stupid user name and talk as much shit as we can to make some sales . We can always import jet planes and take a little video clip off top gun and say its the identical brother and they will shoot down migs .

Ebay is honestly starting to shit me to tears but let me tell you all that the customers are starting to get harder and justice will come through soon as someone will complain in their feedback bigtime one day .

Anyway , sorry for my whinging as well , im just a bit pissed that people actually get sucked into allot of crap . I think Ebay will be peaking in the next year and after allot of people will be cought out , it will all be back to seeing an item in the shop before you buy it . Just curious if anyone agrees .

Thanx .

I agree 100%

They need some people working for Ebay sorting things out so everything goes in their correct place. My father is looking at mag wheels, there is constantly Sigma parts under wheels and tyres.
Under RC cars tere is just so much crap thats clogging everything up. They need a section for REAL RC cars and another for toys.

Yes Ebay will peak, but then customers will wake up. Same with online shops, talking to the main shop we deal with (free plug for Monaro Models in Queenbyan) they have had a huge drop in sales since online shops got popular.
Though i do buy a little off Ebay and a little online, nothing beats a friendly LHS for a bit of impulse shopping

Agree also with you about the cheaper RC stuff , definately flooded on ebay and even though i sell that stuff myself , not on ebay , it does bore me stupid trying to find something good in the RC section and having to scroll through all the adds , its the same million people minute after minute with shit coming out of their mouth day after day . It is definately something that will have to be looked into as there are now too many people jumping on the bandwagon and cluttering ebay up . Mark my words , ebay will die by atleast 50% by mid 2006 .

I say all this stupidly as ive just struck a deal with Matt here to advertise a little banner on this website with our products . But im not 1 to talk crap , if 1 of my items does 10kph , ill admit it . As we all know , they are made in China and cant compete with the likes of Kyosho , Tamyia , Hpi etc and im definately first to admit it but we aim our stuff more to the backyard basher that doesnt want to spend a fortune on a car boat or plane and just wants something simple and easy . Im probably wasting my add here but hey , they make good birthday prezzies .

Anyway , just wanted to explain myself on that side of things .

As far as other tossers advertising on ebay , heres another one :

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2565&item=5957274514&rd=1

I sell this bloke a heap of stuff for his shop and let me tell you , he lies through his teeth . This item is infact an officially licensed car that is built well but its a toy with a 9.6V battery pack and a 360 size motor and 60kph is way out of the ball park as ive only been able to radar gun it to 27kph max .

Ive told him on many occasions to get real with his adds but he continues telling me that it does clintch his sales so hes not budging . His worst case is the 1:8 scale minis i sold him , hes got them as 1:6 scale . He is a top bloke but a bullshit salesman and he does know it but has just accepted it , in fact he should be working in a car yard .

Anyway , thats all for now ... more to come soon about the ebay talk .

Thanx .

I havent downloaded the video, but I can tell you now, that if he is claiming it jumps a house, its the video of Josh Cyrul jumping his championship winning Kyosho over a house....NOT of this piece of shit thats being advertised!

this shits me even more. People selling links to a site or some crappy ebook. Before they didnt advertise it as a link or a ebook, and people payed ~800 for a ebook. Now ebay officials seem to have cracked down on them and they are clearly labeling their products.

This sort of crap is useless and if people want cheap electronics all they need to do is to jump onto alibaba.com and scope out cheap wholesalers.

Thanx .

as the old saying goes, if it looks too good to be true than it probably is. And oldie but one of the most important rules you should follow when buying off ebay.
