You're basically buying something that was stolen from someone on this board. If you can live with that....

You left out the choice of I never bought anything from him because I knew he was a crooked puke.

Thumbs down

If you look ......... the accounts feedback has gone to sh*t just in the last month -> 73 negatives vs. 185 positives .... that's really bad odds for eBay that you are going to get your stuff.

bought and sold with Fred, with no problems, I guess i was just lucky. I truly feel bad for those who got screwed. Hopefully, somehow, some way they get their $$ back, although as time goes by, that seems less likely.

Ok, I'll bite. Who exactly were the steering wheels stolen from?


$10 says I don't get a straight answer.

If you hit the "View Poll Results" on the lower left of the poll you can see them.

Was hoping to keep this thread for guys that did get taken and leave the comments of others on the other threads.

Why would anyone who knows what has happened be buying parts from him on Ebay?

Here's your straight answer, Sport.

Fred is a thief. He stole money from people on this board to buy more product with. He basically set up a pyramid scheme to finance the whole thing. He owes people money yet he continues to sell products to people and pocket the money. From all appearances he's also boning his Ebay clientele now as well. Lastly, judging from public court records and supplier's accounts, he's most likely not made payment for those exact wheels to the supplier who provided them to him.

If you're on this board, know this story and you're buying stuff from Fred, you are a 100% certified scumbag.

How's that for direct. Direct is my specialty. Send me the $10.
