Look at the feedback, I wonder how many times he thinks he can sell this 2.4 and 915 trans,


http://cgi.ebay.ca/Porsche-911-MFI-2-4-T-e...1QQcmdZViewItem


Then it's listed again for (aprox) $630 canadian "buy it now" with about $160. shipping

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

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?

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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
