RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted January 3, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I did a bit of digging to see what's going on with these Amazon vouchers (other digging implements are available). Needless to say there's a variety of scams going on. Herewith a selection but the basis of the frauds is that Amazon vouchers aren't physical enitities they're just electronic codes ie seller sends winner the code: Winning bids being made on stolen credit cards (looks like there's no tie-up between Paypal claims and Amazon). People on benefits and/or traders not declaring themselves as traders, all of whom use their Paypal 'Credit' to buy voucher. Hence the transaction doesn't go through bank account and maybe worth taking a minor hit on their cash flow. Scammers who bid over the odds, then claim from Paypal a few days later that goods not received. Paypal won't reimburse the seller as the item wasn't a physical entity .....and am sure there are others. Meanwhile ebay encourages on you to accept Paypal.......

Cleefy Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Seems that everything from our little friend these days is kit built, including this unbuilt kit. As I was sniggering at the whopping 50p discount compared to a new one, I noticed that unlike a new one it includes some Romford wheels so is it in fact *gulp* a bit of a bargain?

Kenton Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) so is it in fact *gulp* a bit of a bargain? Almost, but not quite. Though everything is relative, and once the usual postage of £8 is taken into account for a BIN it is about the top end of what they should be reaching. A typical auction of one of these would start at £50 and climb relentlessly (if competitive interest is there) to the £85-£100 mark. Unlike a lot of items this will probably sell. Kits on ebay (particularly DJH) at the moment seem to be going for inflated prices. Recession, what recession? I just love the "Comes in a great box." description.

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted January 5, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've dealt with him a couple of times Ian. An A1 bloke when there was a problem (not of his making) I've also dealt with him on several occasions and he is the best E-bay seller I've come across. Delivery & packaging are superb and when one item was accidentally sent to the wrong customer he immediately told me & refunded. When he got it back from them he then sent it to me FOC & even when I offered he refused payment. Top man!! Bob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replies when emailed. As you say Honest as far as what he is selling goes....in this instance you can see it anyway, but other times even though the item has looked good if you read the screed you would know what you are going to get. He gets my vote as a seller to deal with. Khris Edited January 6, 2013 by kandc_au 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith You could argue that without opening the box to check, the model could be a detailed side stuck to a spacer! But you're all correct, why do they say that the box has never been opened, when obviously it has. Anyway, don't the vast majority of us get the model home & take a good look at it, possibly run it, then and only then, stick it back in the box?

Even if they were fine when purchased, what are they like after many years storage? I bought three Mainline locos 40 odd years ago, test ran them when new - fine. Packed them away as there was no layout to use them on. Got them out 5 years ago (never touched in between!) One wouldn't run, one ran poorly and the other was just about OK. They still all looked pristine, as new. Keith Edited January 6, 2013 by melmerby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
