That’s not good at all, I have to say, Shaggy off of scooby doo, our usual Hermes man is always spot on and will stop for a chat now and then, although there was a replacement last year who was apparently getting ladies phone numbers off the delivery notes and sending them inappropriate messages!

justy 46 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 He is running a shop, so this bidding is not a one off ...and his Buy Now prices are alittle above average..But his feedback is poor enough...As John says steer clear id say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that's the thin chap with the slightly unkempt appearance in the small white van? 😉 Yes, he's spot on, in fact he was in on Saturday and we had a chat and he said that the lad who'd left our parcel in the bin has been doing it all over and has been in trouble for it several times already! Apparently, the boss would like to get rid of him, but he can't because he's now on the sick with "mental issues"! As for northwest, his customer service is appalling, he wouldn't offer a refund or take it up with the courier, and you can't get to speak to him as he never answers his phone so we were left £70 out of pocket. As i say, i can't wait to get him cornered at Penrith.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I wouldn't think NWFM would have bid it up that far. I would like to think if its cheeky price fixing, it is usually done a bit more discretely! Could have been disgruntled customers wanting to plonk a lovely great £500 end of item fee on the account though! Or just two bored individuals having a laugh. Maybe even NWFM having a go at quirky advertising of their business! I bet plenty people have gone on to view the seller's other listings! Either way, the price is nonsense to the extreme. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s the man, I’ve been tempted to write “The Mystery Machine” in the dust on his back door a couple of times but for that other clown it needs to be adjusted to Misery Machine. I hope you catch up with North West John. It’s easy to hide behind a phone or computer but not so much sat behind a table at a show. An interesting thought I’ve just come across this morning, as everyone knows there are a lot of tractor scams on eBay, what I didn’t know is apparent here are Facebook groups dedicated to finding such listings and bidding them up to silly amounts to stop unsuspecting buyers falling foul of the scams, there is an average looking TW 25 being bid to over 60 grand... Could the Valtra be a couple of unhappy customers who have been caught out by the seller and doing as Andy mentioned. Would the seller still be charged for the listing if the buyer doesn’t pay up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's quite a common issue with that seller, and there have been times when they've advertised more than one of a particular item, then you buy it and get a message saying that it's not actually in, will be a few weeks and do you still want it. Last thing I ordered was a UH tractor, outer box was badly crushed but fortunately the model was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Ahhhits not just me whos had words with him then, I bought a Replicagri trailer off him recently as it said on ebay he had 2 in stock. He didnt, and 2 weeks later it still hadnt shown up! So finally I managed to reach him on the phone where he said he couldnt get one, so I suggested instead he send me a Wiking tri axle Krampe for the same money I had already paid and that he could swallow the five quid difference for my inconveniance !! He agreed, I got the model and I will try hard not to deal with him anymore. Especially after all the above comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I think €35 is the price tag on the box of my 390. But I purchased when they were plentiful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I really don't know where some people dream up their prices. Two listings for an identical Yaxon Same Galaxy in 1/43 scale (some say 1/41 but who's counting) One in mint condition and with a box £60. The other is damaged and without a box £144.....................eh what? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313568431692?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304007910794?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 I would have said that the first one at £60 was near to the top of the reasonable range £40-60, the other is just pie in the sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipher172 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 this is a big price for a model, especially seeing as it was bought days earlier for 595 EUR. https://www.ebay.fr/itm/363459309126?fbclid=IwAR0sBGKpKdwJFELcJShYe27Wt4ZrA2FXzJU66KTMoYkx0jHZrqWjpUiwf90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
