ebay fraud

[Thomas Lindholm CLC#13781]

This list is what I noticed after the first and only inspection was missing, the car is now in a farmers barn and it will stay there until this problem is solved, I don’t want to take it in my garage so the day someone start making a car of it again there will be another list of parts missing, you know how it is a car has a lot of parts and it’s hard to remember them all
When I bought my 46 Coupe there was also a 4dr almost complete car in the deal and a 2dr Series 61 Coupe parts car. I had to leave them when it is so expensive to ship cars overseas but if someone is interested they are still there and I just need some help to get my parts shipped out. I have some photos if anyone is interested
Have started welding a 1960 Impala 2dr instead and what can go wrong on a car they made 105.000 of and that’s just the 2dr ht
Nothing beat a Cadillac but sometimes you need to relax and restore something that is easy

Thomas,

It would seem you still "own" the rights to the other two cars IF they were included in the evilbay auction. Where again - are they located? The 61 series 2 door sedanette is a rare car and I might be interested in it. I have located a 46 2 door sedanette but i do not yet know if it is a 62 series or a 61 series. I was going to offer to buy it to supply you withs ome parts on the cheap but you are telling me that you have two full parts cars that were in the deal. If this ebayer was half honest, had any integrity and morals - he woudl have stuffed that car full of parts. This is what hobby mean and women do fro each other, not the other way around.

Let me know if I can assist.  Bryan Moran CLC 13994  / abc.moran@netzero.net

When I bought this car I thought that if buy an old Cadillac it’s safe, who could be interested in a scam on a car that is 65 years old, BIG mistake from me but I have learned a lesson but after I got help from an police investigator from NY  I understand that an old car is also interesting
If you are not honest. After more than a 1 year and a fantastic help from the police I got about 95% of the missing parts and they have done a fantastic job. The investigator told me that he understand how  ---------------- it must be to live in an other country and someone makes a foul off you . I have bought about 10 cars from USA before and never had any problem and some of the sellers have becomed my friends and we still have contact years after the car have been shipped to Sweden so I’m still out on the internet but I don’t buy so much on ebay anymore

That's great news Thomas and that is a lot more than the police would do for anyone here in Great Britain.

Great news Thomas,

Hope it doesn't cost you too much to get the parts shipped to you.

Sorry to hear about this, this happened to me also, I bought handy cam last year, It was free shipping and handling. But they charged $15 for it.

  :)Hi
It did take me a long time and I don’t know how many phone calls and e-mails before I got in contact with a police investigator that told me that “I understand how  ------ it must be to live in another country and I’ll help you”  Before this the seller didn’t want to talk with me but
2 days after I got contact with this investigator the seller called me and asked me if I would be willing to talk with him. Suddenly he found the parts I paid $1200 to get rechromed and he also “just” found a lot of other parts
To be honest it did feel absolutely fantastic to turn from being a victim to one that had control over the situation. There are still some parts missing and I’ll hunt him for them but this show that you should never accept any kind of fraud. Ebay today don’t give you any information about the seller you are buying from and they protect themself to a level that is ridiculous so if you are in this situation forget them and do your one fight
I want to thank you all for the support and e-mails I have got and I also want you to know that he paid for the shipping, some days are better then others

G'day Thomas,

Great to hear of a good result.

Persistence is the key!  Congratulations!  So few people win when Ebay does their "dodge of responsibility" routine, and with unscrupulous people like the guy you got the car from "lose the parts."
