Apologies for this being my first post. I just found this forum yesterday as a result of an ongoing Google search I have on an eBay seller named red96m3. At first I wasn't sure, but now I am 99% sure this is likely the same eBay seller who sold me a knock-off golf club that was represented as authentic. I can't go into detail due to potential legal action, but am concerned about others doing business with red96m3 the eBay seller (who is absolutely miserable to do business with).

??? Wow, new to me! Serious, have you tried to make contact with me or tell me what this club is? Make sure you are stating facts. PM me and discuss this offline if you like. I will give you my phone number and email address.

FACTS:
I have been a Rennlist member since 2004. Owned a 1996 C4S (sold) and now a 1997 C4S SY.

I have been an eBay member since 2001, with 177 in positive feedbacks WITH NO negative (1 negative in error, see buyer's comments)! Never dealt with fake stuffs/wheels/putters, etc... see the auctions/items I sold in the past, not cheap stuff.

My feedback's link:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...0&mPg=3&page=1

I wonder if this is the seller in question, creating BS, if so, let's not play games.

I have no affiliation with red96m3 nor John85cabrio, but a quick search on eBay for a user named "red96m3" revealed that this individual, apparently named Bruce, has been an eBay member since 2001 and has had 177 transactions, all with a spotless, 100% positive record. If red96m3 is running a scam, such an event seems inconsistent with his eBay record over the past ten years.

I do find it interesting that John85cabrio "found" this forum after a Google search and that the username seems Porsche-related.

I wonder if John85cabrio and the Rennlister that red96m3 had the transaction with share the same IP address?

Confirmed. That's me, "Bruce". Hard to scam others over a 10 year period and get away with it...

Come clean bruce. You set up an ebay account, and became a Rennlist member, and then conducted hundreds of transactions. You were just waiting...waiting ....for the perfect opportunity to scam someone. Then the day came! You scored $2.21!!!!!! Crime of the century!
