I have both rcwaffle and sportsam123 on my blocked bidders list. Both have purchased from me before and then a couple weeks later I started seeing my parts listed for sale. Nothing more irritating than selling a nice item only to have a chop shop part it out.
I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
Thge guy on rctech thread indicates waffle uses 13 aliases, so even if you've cut waffle out, you may still wind up selling to him. Ebay better pay attention - they are enabling this kind of behavior. And I guess what's obvious in this if this scumbag is willing to risk his business over this kind of scam, it must not be much of a business, or he's a total idiot.
Now that the guy he really pissed off has got authorities attention, I hope they will shut him down. He had a bunch of stuff posted for CRT.5 thats disappeared, wonder if he's feeling a little heat?
His other auctions/alias are easy to spot, they look exactly the same and I have run across them before. I am probably done with ebay after my last purchases. Their new rating system has fried my rating because of one jerk who lied. Sellers have no recourse anymore so why take the risk? I have had much better luck buying/selling on the boards anyway. Even if I take less money it balances out once I figure the ebay and paypal fees into the mix.
There are too many questions about the person credibility to be trust worthy. I personal have not had any trouble with him. I have ordered from him in the past. I WILL NOT order again though.
