We discussed this E-Bay thief on the board before. This is the guy that shows up with 100 or more rare, expensive and unlikely automotive items. None of the item numbers are registered. He always shows up with a new name with no transaction history. He also doesn't take bids...you are supposed to contact him directly.
Look under Ford Pantera. Look for the Hall Manifold at the bottom of the page. Look quick, because this guy is only on the board for a matter of hours and then disappears for a couple of weeks. Then he comes back with another name and the same scam.
DON'T REPLY TO THIS GUY!!! I don't know if he is trying to get you to send cash, or if he is collecting E-Mail addresses for some other purpose.
For real entertainment, click on his Other Auctions and look at the list of stuff. Yeah...right.
I have complained to E-Bay about this pirate numerous times. They don't even reply. He is using their system, at will, to rip people off and they do NOTHING about it. Too busy counting their millions to stop this blatant and repeated scam.

Coz, you can't link to an item number because his item numbers are not registered. So if you search any of his numbers, they come up as incorrect. That's why it's so hard to file a complaint. E-Bay requires an item number to register the complaint and none of his are real. This guy knows E-Bay's system like he designed it. He gets on unregistered with a bogus name and more than 100 ads that look exactly like E-Bay ads...all of them for items worth thousands each. He's like a phantom. His items are on the pages, but he is not in the system at all. He comes and goes every couple of weeks. He used to be on for a couple of days, but recently he's gone after a couple of hours.
Right now, he's gone again.
Next time he shows up, I'll post again. It's a serious and arrogant fraud on E-Bay and their customers.

Well done Mike....
Love ya brother.
How's your baby doing ?

Little RUSTY, that's my new name for it.
When I bought the car 5 years ago, it had fresh paint and a nice thick coat of undercoating.
I had flown from Colorado to Phoenix and needed to make the deal and get back. I was counting on the guy to be straight with me. He wasn't, as it turns out.
Small rust bubbles have been showing up on some of the lower body panels the last couple of years.
I was set up for painting at the beginning of this month but in changing out the ZF, brakes, radiator, and A-arm bushings, I found some more rust. When we got the car off the ground at the welding shop, we found more. Right now we're in the middle of fixing this damage.
The car is not a "rust bucket" but it needs this stuff cleaned up. While we're at it, we're beefing up the front and rear crossmembers for solid jack points. There are some damaged areas from improper jacking and we are cleaning those up as well.
I'm sure this story is familiar to more than a few of you. If I ever go with a friend to look at a Pantera for sale, I will be able to help him. Wish someone would have been with me that knew his way around one!

Yep, that's the guy. The Pantera Weber Manifold is item #582463172. Sorry, I don't know how to make this a link.
For the first time I was able to call up a couple of his items using the item number. I was also able to file a complaint that appears to have been accepted using two of the item numbers. Not sure what this means but I'm glad to do it.
No way this guy can have the stuff he claims. Especially since he has been trying to sell it all for the last year and a half. Under at least a dozen different names.
Once again, he has a new name with no transaction history...but the same 100 plus ads.
Good eyes John!
Later, Mooso.
