Of course in the old days he would probably have visited the local scrapyard and simply stolen what he wanted. Such is society nowadays it's quite depressing.

Absolutely agree with you, it’s a right royal pain in the backside and my heart really isn’t in it any more. It’s becoming so stressful trying to deal with the fallout of people who are of a less than honest character, only yesterday I had someone try it on saying an item wasn’t received on eBay and when checking the tracking they have signed for it not 10 minutes before they claimed it hadn’t arrived. I bet they would have stolen the parts from a scrapyard but these days it’s easier to be lazy and do such things via the interned!

Thanks for your message. I totally agree, health is the most important thing in life. Yes we had many a good chat in the past and if I remember you have also bought off eBay from me too! I try to be fair with prices but I also have to pay my bills as well as buy these cars in the first place.

Your right mate, I try and avoid selling on Facebook except for the very occasional group post on one of the USA pages because they seem to get excited about some of the stuff I upload on eBay. There’s lots of scam artists in many different varieties online, it’s not overly easy to deal with fallout when it goes wrong either. I actually was looking on market place earlier and found a car for sale which was using photos of a car I have parked on my drive and has been for the last 3 weeks but the photos showed its prior registration plates. It does make you laugh how they try though!
