JWeston 493 Posted April 3, 2013 The photos aren't his. They're a friend's who is on Tamiyaclub. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/bimer26/m.html?item=221209704327&pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3381203787&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Hopefully that's enough info and ok with the moderator.

TWINSET 1793 Posted April 3, 2013 Well, the two auctions I saw have both been pulled now, but for everyone's info, selller ID was Bimer26 and the pics I saw came from SB_AUST's showroom; http://www.tamiyaclu...113627&id=28429 Looking at the account, the seller's not had any FB since 2011 so could well be a hacked account; http://feedback.ebay...tab=AllFeedback Seller was registered in UK, which kinda ruled SB_AUST out; according to his TC page he's in Perth, Australia.

Grumpy pants 4485 Posted April 3, 2013 This guy is called Dan, he was selling off the same type of stuff and using the same wording/text late on Saturday night, that time he was using kate76n as his eBay account. The green Toyota was advertised and a vintage Hilux and today another Hilux came and went very quickly, along with the Blazer, Same remit different photos with differing back grounds.

stickerbod 4 Posted April 3, 2013 A couple of the Blazer and Vintage Hilux pics were mine, both trucks still belong to me and are going no where Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWINSET 1793 Posted April 3, 2013 The Hilux and Blazer from today both look like they had the auctions pulled by eBay - there's no trace of them now which usually means eBay were involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JWeston 493 Posted April 4, 2013 Hopefully we can all be vigilant in case the chap pops up again with a different account. I think the frequent users will recognise photos for sure. I'm just really peeved he didn't pick any of mine!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
