FYI...eBay warning...rcwaffle

I purchased my mp777 chassis from him a year ago. The transaction went well, I received my item so I cannot complain. But the packaging was lacking (just the roller in a box, no newspaper, or foam). And the pictures he took weren't so good (dark and out of focus), so I didn't notice that none of the drivetrain or shocks were included, but that was my fault for buying something without better pictures (I should have asked for better pictures).

My purpose for this post it purely to state that my experience with him as average, he wasn't a great ebayer, but I have done business with some who were much worse. And based on that, I think if you buy something from him you will probibly get exactly what the image shows and nothing more. And he does seem to let some transactions fall through the cracks, but if you see something he has that you "need" and it is a good price, I would say go for it, at least if you cannot find it anywhere else for less.

I have heard of quite a few people who have issues with him. If it is only one guy, then he is busy, 20000 feedback in 12 months!!! I do like the part where he paid for the 800 dollar heli and got screwed out of it...

I've heard horror stories about him myself.

WOW i have bought several items and have not had a problem. I think i will stay clear now though. THanks for the warning.

I look at it as a buyer beware. Most of the parts he sells can easily be had for not much more on eBay from people parting out brand new vehicles. Also, since he really has no real description of the items he sells, you may be SOL if the part you buy isn't exactly what you thought it would be.

haha the Heli is bad karma biting rcwaffle where the sun doesnt shine, on that note sportsam123 owes me a $60 bombproof chassis for over 69 days. I think he sold it twice, 2nd time for $175. working with paypal for a refund, he wont return my emails (or theirs).

The guy has always irritated me. There are several items in the past I have bid on only to have him inflate the price then turn around and chop the item up and sell it for more. I won't buy from or sell to him as his feedback is very reflective of what kind of business he runs.

Again, this is why I only buy from people with 99% or better feedback.

I've bought a few things from him without any issues.

bought from him about a year ago CVDs for maxx. they were dirty but otherwise ok. lately I buy only stuff from people the chop new kits. found a very nice shop for Mugen with very nice buy now prices

I've bought from him before- not terribly impressed with the desriptions or photos (or lack there-of), but I did get my items at least. Think of him as a 'last-resort' vendor....

I bought my Gorillmaxx Single Speed transmission (complete with gears) from him for less than the retail of the tranny case alone.

Arrived in a few days with no real issues.

With 20,000 positive feedback and only 145 Negatives, I'd probably by again if he has something I need for a good price.

Yeah, I've bought from him too and had no issues. Someone on here sold him a rtr rc and received neg feedback from him - said the esc and something else didn't work. All the while he had the same esc listed (and sold) on ebay. I took a few min and went back in his feedback - the bad ones - total nut job

He won't be seeing anymor eof my money.

I've bought from him a few times, its been hit and miss on description. I haven't bought from him since one member here had trouble with him, I think it was over a brushless system

I had a few buys from him with no problems. But... I asked questions about a couple different revo chassis's. I asked him whats the overall condition ? does it include diffs ? Is anything broke ? The answer he sent me ? "no" nothing else lol !!
I also noticed from just looking at his negatives he seems to have alot of "lost in the mails,wrong address,vacant house " excuses .
And for the final straw , a reason I would not buy from him in the future . You can no longer leave negatives for buyers. You buy, you pay , done deal .
He has left positive feedbacks for people who have left him a negative but wrote NEGATIVE NEGATIVE NEGATIVE with some lame excuse . What a scumbag . If someone pays you, why whould you leave him a negative ? Just because he left one for you ? Thats pretty low in my book.
