Any body who is a avid reader on this forum may rember me last week asking quistions and advise on a 3.0 elite that i was thinking of buying of ebay? well i took the plunge and was the winning bidder on said omega. I was fully prepared to spend quite a bit of cash to get it up to srcatch and was not expecting a mint example. but after a winning bid was placed at Ł770 i thought i might have done ok?......what happend next was totally unexpected and totally out of my control.
On contacting the seller the first thing i was told was that the omega would be avalable for collection only from leeds city center. (alarm bells ringing now)
so having refused to collect from anywhere other than the adress on the v5 and loads of phone calls. it imerged that this private seller was in actual fact a dealer and not a good dealer at that. who thought that he could put anything in his advert and that if i bidded i would have to pay.
So obviously i refused to continue with the transaction through fear of buying a stolen,dodgey car?
so far over the weekend i have had 34 phone calls from this so called man threating death and beatings to me and my famly. he even told my 4 year old that he is going to rip her f*!**ng head off?
so the police were contacted and this man has been arested and charged with threating behaveour...
would hate anybody to go through what me and my famly has been through in the last 72hrs. just be carefull and ask all the right quistions. i was so caught up in the mechanecal side of things i just did not think to ask the most basic of quistions.
1) can i collect the car from the adress on the v5
2) are you a private seller or trader
3) is your name on the v5 and could you provide proof of that
so am gona be extra carfull now but it hasnt turned me of the fact that i whant a omega? so anybody with a decent 3.0 elite or mv6 msg me (just be gentle)
-
My God that's awful.
Hope you and your family are OK, that is a terrible situation.
As far as checking the car, I know what you mean, I bought my Omega from a reputable dealer but I still went through all the HPi checking for fear of missing something obvious on the car.
-
I am truly sorry to hear this and i feel for you and your family. I hope the Police do more than just tell him off, this behavoir is just not on. Be safe.
-
thanks to you both. just gota keep hunting for the right one. cheers
-
I think, as we are all (except me) Omega fans, it may be in the forum's interest to name this ebay member so we can all steer clear.
Hope your little girl is OK! Jeez, what a nasty twisted git this must be. A 4 year old girl threatened?
A bit of research done..... Would this be the seller who has now relisted the car with tthe wording 'Relisted due to dreaming Idiot?' If so, you can now sue him for libel as he has defamed your good name in a public place in writing. Take him to the cleaners.

WHERE ABOUTS IN LEEDS CITY CENTRE??? WHAT WAS GUY'S NAME I MIGHT KNOW HIM OR BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHO HE IS!!!!!!

I'm moving this to the 'General Chat' area.

hi the mans name is steven patrick....he goes under the name kirkpattrick25 on ebay. he lives ina place called holt park. ive looked its huge. but belive me keep away..
-
You made all the right decisions and actions on the outcome of this Omega you bid on..Its a shame you had to go through this when all you want is a honest transaction and a decent car...Better luck next time it takes the minority to spoil things..
Glad everyone is OK..
-
I cant believe this scum would droop so low as to scare a 4 year old girl,
This sort of thing just cannot be accepted >:(
This sort of behavior should be seriously punished >:(
Send the boys around to sort him out :y
I hope you and your Family are ok now

>:(I've had to "compose myself" before replying. I could laugh off the bad dealing & abuse but what he said to your 4yr old is inexcusable, all legallities & moral rules go out the window.
At that point i'd have apologized, arranged to meet & buy the car & gone with a vanload.
I know that's not really the right way, two wrongs, fire & fire, etc. You kept your cool which in all honesty makes you a better man than me & there's repercussions to consider so you did the right thing.
I hope you find a more suitable way of dealing with this retard.
Regards to you & your family. Cheers, Guy.

Words fail me >:(

>:(..This seler should be banned from e-bay, if this can be done?......or wait till he next places a car on e-bay, we'll bid for it and all turn up to collect and pay our dues :y

Count me in.

Anyone that threatens a four year old like that must have a screw loose and should be arrested certified and banged up where they can do no harm to anyone for a long long time.
-
if he has sent you any threatening emails etc via ebay contact them and that way he is in breach of their polices....Banned.
But that of course is the minimum result that we should be seeing for his diabolical actions towards you :(

IŽll pay my dues allright >:( >:( >:(

That is Really Bad Sorry To hear He spoke in Such a Bad Way to your little Girl I would Tear his teeth out for speaking to my 4 year old daughter like that.
I might Make a False Account Up and Keep Bidding on his Stuff and ignore him

Hi maddy,
Is this the car you won?
What someone should take the Evil piece of shite(whoever he is)out and do to him don't bear thinking about >:( >:( >:(.
I hope you Daughter wasn't old enough to understand what he meant :(.
-
What a total looser, I bet he has not got the guts to stand up and say those things to people face to face. I hope the police deal with it, but knowing them it will come back not in the public interest and he will walk off in to the sun set.
Regards to your family and I hope your little one is young enough to be able to forget it.
I agree with the other comments that ebay should get involved and ban him from selling further.
Yes it would be nice to go around with a van load but the powers that be would then make an example for the wrong reasons.

Looks like t is the same seller given the comments, just so happens I happen to be the lowest bidder at the moment ::) 8-)

I asked the seller whether the car was registered to him and if i bidded on the item and was sucessful where would I have to collect the vehicle from.
Response: Not registered to him as he bought that one then found another one eg blue and then bought that one. Did not respond on where to collect vehicle from.

if someone provides a van, i can provide ....

I have just sat here reading this post, I am climbing the walls and would love to meet this piece of low pond life, who does he think he is, threatening a 4 year old, what a big man he is, threatening your family.

Can't put in print what I think of this guy. Shows what use EBAY feedback is. Looks like his record is pretty clean but on the other hand he sounds like a nasty piece of work rather than someone who you just caught having a bad day.
Hope your little'un is Ok and is able to understand that you can't let these types get under your skin.
I'd elevate this everywhere you can- with the police, ebay and anyone else you can think of. The tw@ deserves to be put to some serious inconvenience over this.

Cheats never prosper, every dog has his day. He'll slip up one day........ ::)

i have fired several questions, all very pleasant, from several of my ebay id`s....asking same questions in diffrent tone....your name on v5, private sale etc etc.... he has nt answered any of them...

I sent one lastnight asking similar polite questions ie any warranty, history etc. If he's got half the brain he's got mouth he may have smelt a rat and found us on here 'coz i got no reply from him but did from an ebay user advising me to check his feedback before bidding.
Not sure i should reveal his id but has anyone else
Asked any questions?
Had any replies?

If you want to mess up the guys auction then could you place a (highish) bid early to kill the auction then retract at the last minute?
You can retract by saying you entered an incorrect amount (had it done to me by a genuine bidder) - be worth checking if you have to do this within a certain time of making your bid but as far as I know you can't be negged for this.
-
hound the tw&t to hell. leave it for 6 months then send him washed boxershorts in a jiffybag with kisses on the outside and a note "left at my house", send him a sample of everything disgusting, bondage brochures, other personal mags, order him cash on delivery items and like someone suggested make up a dummy ebay account from lands end and constantly outbid him and others on his stuff. or you could take a crew to his slum and wash his gob out with carbolic.............

Give me a shout i`ll be there with you (just to make sure we don`t get lost)
even after days of reading this it still makes me so angry i would love to have a nice conversation with this guy down a back alley.
It annoys me to think that this to**er will probably get away with this sort behavior >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

At times like this I find myself trying to think of something better.... But it's no use. Try as I might to come up with the perfect snottogram I'm drawn back to the closing paragraph of the infamous NTL letter:
I enclose two small deposits, selected with great care from my cats litter tray, as an expression of my utter and complete contempt for both you, and your pointless company. I sincerely hope that they have not become desiccated during transit - they were satisfyingly moist at the time of posting, and I would feel considerable disappointment if you did not experience both their rich aroma and delicate texture. Consider them the very embodiment of my feelings towards NTL, and it's worthless employees.
;D
