Title: Anyone bought from 'omegas52' on ebay ?
Post by: Phil L on 06 July 2015, 23:34:40
He seems to break a lot of Omegas and so I assume he's known to someone on the OOF.  Does anyone have any experience of buying from him, good or bad ?
Thanks

While on the subject of this Omega parts seller.......I was there once and we were talking about top selling parts & parts that he scraps sooner than sells.

Genuine used omega Cats are something that he sees a lot of,And they all get scrapped,Because they are not nice and shinny so no one wants them so they go off and buy pattern crap, so he weighs them in....And the same goes for wheels..

I bought a rear door for the estate from Nigel....only needed the door card swapped, and the door only cost £19. Paintwork was tops, and you would not know it came from a different car. Top man :y

I concur with all of the above, I have bought various bits from him in the past and they always arrive just as described and promptly. If I ever need anything else he will be the first place I look. :y

Can't beat Nigel for good parts at very reasonable prices, and as said always well packaged and quick postage!  :y (no I am not a relative) ;D

I bought off him a while ago, trying to get some bits off him at the moment but haven't heard anything from him even with me calling/texting/messaging through eBay.... Quite annoying, as he has the parts i need, i have the money to buy them but he isn't getting back to me!!  >:(

Why not 'Ask a question' on some of his other stuff on ebay - when I did he responded within hours.

Tried that, normally he's pretty good... I did text him this morning saying I was disappointed in his lack of communication and got a reply at lunch time saying he's had a death in the family  :-\

He's always got lots of stuff and is very helpful. Will try and sort you if he can.

Shame he's so far from my neighbourhood (for the larger parts), but made the trip once and his garage is an aladins cave of Omega parts.

In fact had an issue with one of the parts he sent - got in touch & he's posting another for me.
