Yep, and every item is worth about .50 cents. Look at the dates and times of those 15 auctions.

I think the pix may have come from an ad on the Bird. Guy in Texas.

I tried to report it...ebay's reporting "system" sucks ass.

Posted by: mikez May 20 2006, 07:51 PM

The problem with eBay is that even if you do report it...there's no response/feedback if they DO anything beyond the ad disappearing....pretty stoopid.

With the amount of money they are making you would think a little customer service would kill them?

every item he has in his feedback is exactly the same item...he bought and sold them

Same engine, different user ID

Posted by: scotty b May 31 2006, 04:53 PM

I went through 7 reportings on the same a-hole with a 951 engine last fall. Engine kept popping up every time after I reported it under a new I.D. I know it was a fake because I bid on it the first and only legit time it was sold!I have to admit that every time I reported it the auction disappeard over night! Guy also had a whole list of unbelievable parts each time i.e. Foose wheels for a Hummer, supercharger for a Cobra, O.E.M. hemi valve covers etc.

I have for auction a 2.4 MFI engine recently removed from my 1973 911 T and a 915 transmission.

The engine runs very well and has decent leakdown numbers of 4%-6%. It has had the carrera chain tensioner upgrade and it ran great while in the car. I had recently had it tuned up (6 Mo ago) but I have decided to build a 2.7 RS motor to replace it.

Can't pay a remittance enough, please don't bid!!Buyer purchased and don'ted pay, I will report EBAY, and give you bad response.
I accept only:The bank transfer.

I wonder which sentence he wrote
