There is porsche stuff, an engine, and other stuff. I think he is saying that there is no feedback and all high price items.

Chances are his other name got banned or got a bad rep, not necessarily due to being that bad of a seller, or perhaps it is a warehouse/workshop seriously getting started with ebay. I wouldn't necessarily trust it, but i wouldn't badmouth it without knowing. Everyone starts somewhere. I believe PartsWerks(edited) that sells 944 parts changed names at one point, it does happen.

I don't get it. I see nothing for sale..

What was the purpose of this post? We need an "Ebay Discussion" section here on Ebay-list. Yawn.

For the record... we have never changed names and we have never sold anything on ebay. Our advice TAKE CARE on ebay.... we have seen many scams! Which is a sad thing!

i must be thinking of someone else then, or someone with the same business name... I'm confused now.

BTW, i didn't mean the thing about you changing names (even though you didn't) in a deragotory way.

Have nothing to do with them.

I bought from cwp911. Haven't seen it yet though. Been about 6 days. Should be here Monday.

Ah crap! cwp911 is the old Blondie/Chicago Partswerks? Man, I'll be waiting forever for my parts! I never made the connection and feedback looked okay.
