| Post subject: | Ebay seller warning. |
I recentlly thought I was buying NOS parts from ebay UK. I have just compared the parts that I was supplied and my old worn parts. This seller sells rare NOS BMC parts. I'm stupid, learn from my mistakes. Beware of the seller with a handle that is the engine prefix of a Mk1 Cooper S engine 
Graham has found some guys in the UK taking the pi$$ out of the seller. http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=67097

Hey Ty Are you sure you have got the right link here, that takes me to a seller that has a user name of guru****, I don't think this is the one you are referring to. Cheers Steve |

Read Ty's post again Steve 
Ty's link isn't to the seller he is warning about. Follow the clues. You can do it.

I must be thinking of the wrong seller. It is only the items that have many of the one thing in a bag/box that is being sold without the packaging. The items that come one in a box are being sold with the box. This is the case for the seller I have in mine. Can someone please enlighten me I didn't buy an item from the seller I thought it was referring to tonight because of the warning, but maybe I have got the wrong seller

Wombat is the only one who worked it out, crikey. For the others, The seller is 9fsay from Solvenia. The guy that I put the link to is taking the pi$$ out of him. Graham posted this link in the Ebay section of AusMini. That is when things started to ring alarm bells so I went and compared my newly aquired NOS BMC WORKS COOPER MINI selecter forks, nope, they are definety reproductions. So I got caught. Now I'm warning you guys. |

My thread refer's to the p#ss take listing, but it seems the actual guy doing the "NOS" selling may not be quite the real deal? Sorry to hear the parts were repros TK, I have got close to bidding a few times, I'll beware! Thanks

I picked up a set or twin SU airfilter bolts off him a while back (the correct ones, not the ones he has now), and he has had some real NOS stuff in the past...but how long can that really last I suppose. |

Some of the items I have bought have no box or packet. Some of the items that I have bought have come in a box, the wrong box.

Quote: Wombat is the only one who worked it out, crikey. barrp.... I worked it and Wombat acknowledged that..... Quote: MINImal effort wrote:

" Now saying Quote: comes complete with it genuine box But then any old box can be "genuine" Slovenia sort of says something I even quoted bad spelling from the MK1 heater knob auction... Came pretty close to buying some stuff myself awhile back - but after watching and seeing so much NOS got suspicious.... If being advertised as new repro that's one thing but always NOS .... just too good to be true... |
