"As for the Carolina car, so what if the tires were backwards it was a mistake and I noticed it and had it fixed. Sorry if it upset some of those tire spotters with nothing better to do then be rude ******** and make themselves somehow look better because they know the proper tire location on a 928. You rip apart a 20k mile gem of a 928 because the tires are backwards...."

It was not that the tires are on backwards it was you said "Les Shwabies made a mistake"

What Les Schwab location made the mistake on the tires?

Most people when they lie always ad unnecessary details.

James is right! You lie on a regular basis and I cought you on the last tread. You said that the 928 that you bought for your own enjoyment had it for one year. I remembered seeng the original tread a long time ago, that was not the case and did a little research. Sure enough, I found the tread and you had the car for ONE MONTH, not one year.

Perhaps the one thing conspicuously absent is a photo of Sean standing next to the car he is "selling" and I believe the simple reason for that is Sean sells cars he has never seen ,never driven,never touched,never will touch since they are directly shipped from the owner to the new owner. His opinion and evaluation is based on the photos he sees and what the owner happens to tell him .... Sean adds value by seeking out cars which are being poorly marketed , reaching a dollar agreement with the owner then listing them on E-bay he hyps the car, answers all the questions, handles the details, and arranges for the drop shipping in return he keeps the spread if it sells. Paying for the car with the proceeds of the auction. Unfortunately photos often do not accurately show how a car looks and nothing about how it runs or drives. Net result is Sean is basing his opinion on what the current owners elects to tell him and that alone can lead to misunderstandings... Sean if I misunderstand how you operate feel free to correct me.

Jim,

ITs been two years since I have sold a car sight unseen.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN SOUTH CAROLINA!

I would like to thank the guy who confused me with someone else and thanks Jim for still being confused as to what and how I operate.

Is it any wonder why people who dont have anything, other then these silly threads to go off of, have a misconstrued idea for who I am and what I am about?

I wish High School was over.....and OUT!!

Are you kidding?

Extorted?

How in the hell would someone who scams have the power to extort someone?

EXTORT FEEDBACK???

EBay Mafia?

2nd time: What Les Schwab location made the mistake on the tires??

If you own the car why not scan the title and shut everyone up?


FYI- I have no problems with car brokers I just do not like B.S in ad's.

Has anyone an idea where in South Carolina the car is located? I wanted to go see it, but looks like the bidding is over and the car is sold.

Yeah, that is good, but only if you're the seller. I see all alot of 86.5's go for 7,000 to 10,000, some of them seem to be VERY well maintained. That is baffling to me considering how much it costs to be able to honestly say you have mantained one of these cars.

During the first go-round with Sean, I got a late night PM, that he subsequently admitted was written under the influence. He claims to have stopped that, but the writing comes out the same, antagonistic swagger w/errors and funny misspellings (Myrtle). Like I said, 'gives brokers a bad name.'

Gotta love those assumptions.........

Thats why I dont come here. Most of you dont know me or what I am or even got close to doing business with me. I love the 928 and have so since I was a kid and enjoy helping people get a good one. The 928 world is small and if I was a con I would not have lasted this long on EBay.

As for the Carolina car, so what if the tires were backwards it was a mistake and I noticed it and had it fixed. Sorry if it upset some of those tire spotters with nothing better to do then be rude ******** and make themselves somehow look better because they know the proper tire location on a 928. You rip apart a 20k mile gem of a 928 because the tires are backwards....Thats good for the market!!

Anyways It sucks to read the comments, it's bothersome because all the folks who do business with me enjoyed the whole transaction. I dont get why some of you here seem to think you know me or what I am about. ...

Thanks.
And you come across as an arrogant jackass........as evidensed by your post above. Who would knowingly do business with such a jackass?........not me, that is for sure.

You sound like most scumball car salesmen who proclaim their good deeds for mankind.......If you are an honorable guy, then get some new material......or take the feedback like a man and stop whining like a schoolgirl.
