[Roadsters] ebay awareness

[jrdmf at aol.com]

The guy lives and performs his handy work from San Bernadino California. I have already received several emails from other ebay users stating they were interested in his auctions but since they saw the warnings on the 311.org site they insisted on a "face to face" transaction. He either ignored their requests or tried to dance around it by claiming to be an upstanding member of the Roadster community. Then his response was that he see's no need to do business face to face. (Kind of hard to pick your pocket when he's right in front of you, eh?) Needless to say, these people checked him out themselves and discovered what a sewer rat he really is which?fortunately saved them a lot of grief.

A very interesting side note to all of this, is this very same guy came begging to this list a few years back for a windshield that he claimed he needed for a car he was putting together. (Which of course was a scam to score free parts.) I had never heard of this guy at the time and I did happen to have a windshield that I didn't need so I gave it to him. (Yes, for free!) Turns out that he sold that windshield to Richard who is also a member of this list and by the time all of the smoke had cleared, Richard ended up receiving negative feedback from this guy too. (File that one under "no good deed goes un-punished".)

Anyway, I'm sure a lot people are probably bored by all of this so anybody that wants more detail can go to the "Threads of shame" section of the 311.org sight.

I'd talk with Jon Frampton (the mark, the kind and trusting mark) and find out what city in SoCal he comes from.? Then I'd require any sale done on Ebay in SoCal be picked up and paid in person? If any seller in SoCal isn't willing to to do a "face to face", it's likely THE ASSHOLE.

For any of you out of the area that can't do a face to face deal, I'd be willing to act as your broker as long as it's not an every day thing.
