ok, just make me a sensible offer

not that keen on Sprinters. Too big for what i need. Don't want anything bigger than a swb low roof transit. I'd also thought about Vito Compact but still unsure about those as i've been told they're not as reliable as Transit. I did a key for a blobeye yesterday & definitely nicer to sit in than a classic. More modern etc. I've got a full timing belt kit to fit on mine. I could just give it all to the new owner & say here you go, get it fitted but i think it would be a better selling point if it's already done. Plus the guy that does the jobs i don't do such as timing belts is an ex Subaru mechanic! :D

Hi mate! well i'd already got it in my head that I was going to get a newer Impreza, probably blobeye STi! Unsurprisingly i never heard anything else from the Ebay hard man! I did start receiving those automated text jokes shortly after at ridiculous times of night. My Galaxy S3 has a "reject number" option so soon put a stop to those! If that was the best he could do after all those threats then he really needs to get a grip! To do the course, buy new equipment & get a bigger van I need minimum of £12k depending what van i go for. Thought about a Transporter T5 but they're just ridiculous money & an ex VW tech said to stay away from 2.5TDi unless I was buying new or almost new. They do a 1.9TDi 130 but they're like rocking horse do da to get hold of, they all seem to be 105bhp models which i'm not going for. Even remapped it'd only end up being the same power as my Doblo but in a bigger heavier van. So now been looking at Caddy Maxi. They're 2ft longer in the back than mine which is what i need. Height & width doesn't matter as much. Transporters aren't even 1ft longer load length wise than the Caddy. Another option is mk7 Transit swb. They look pretty smart with ST alloys etc. I did a key for 1 last week & he'd even fitted ST front seats & steering wheel which looked good

well, i'm not the kind of person to keep a car for years but didn't think the Scooby would be going so soon! Only got it in March, none of new bits such as STi TD05 turbo etc have even been fitted & i bet i haven't even done 400 miles in it since i bought it! Basically i'm wanting to expand my business which means i have to do a new training course, buy more equipment then eventually a bigger van! All this lot combined isn't cheap. I have savings but don't have enough to pay for everything out right which is what i want to do as i don't like getting credit if i can help it. The course will be done first then i want to cracking on getting the new equipment asap. Van wise i can manage a bit longer so that can wait. So today i'm making some calls regarding the courses to get the ball rolling. Next available dates aren't until Dec so no immediate rush to sell the car & bits straight away. Then depending how work goes up until then i may have scraped enough together to not have to sell the car. Although my Mrs has said just sell it, do the course etc then when i've saved up enough again I can just buy a better & newer car! :D Craig

nope, no damage! although i now have somebody else on Ebay to complain to! I bought a replacement bumper & before i bought it i asked the seller if it had any marks on it, he said just a small scuff on a corner. It came the day before we went on holiday, it has the mentioned scuff, then loads of chips & scratches which are down to the black plastic on the top where things have been dropped on the top of the bumper when they've been taken out of the boot Then there's a couple of patches where the lacquer has peeled off! I emailed him but not had a reply in a week! So...... here we go again! lol

yeh i've been to Rhodes, probably our favourite Greek Island so far. Would definitely recommend Sani Resort in Halkidiki that we've just been to. Oh & yep, the cops did spoil us with free wifi but sent us home today as they couldn't keep up with my food intake! lol

We're in Halkidiki which is 1st time we've been to mainland Greece. We've been to a few of the islands as well over the last few years. We usually go to the the Caribbean for 2 weeks but didn't want to fly for that long with a 4 month old baby! Wish we'd done 2 weeks this time instead if 1. Although I have already been looking for another holiday later in the year while we've been here! Lol! Joys of free wifi!

I'm currently in hiding on a nice beach in Greece! Back home tomorrow though do I shall see if my car us in 1 piece! Lol

you learn something new every day! ;)

ok, you can find him by going through my Ebay, look at feedback i've left for others http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/actionman_32

yep, the guy that emailed me had already emailed the others that had changed their feedback to neutral & they'd said they were genuinely scared!

just had an email from another Ebay member that bought something from zabas786 that turned out to be far from how it was described. He received similar abuse & threats. He thanked me for standing up to him, not changing my feedback to neutral & also getting the tw*t booted off of Ebay

just had a partial refund from Paypal! :D i bet he's going to be well & truly fecked off when he gets that email!

[email protected] just in case anybody is up for a laugh! haha

i think it would be interesting to see what he says if somebody was to email him asking if he still has Impreza parts for sale :D

yep still not heard anything else from him! either he's finally realised that being a **** & trying to play the big man hasn't got him anywhere apart from getting his Ebay account shut down! Or........ he's planning some sinister revenge & is biding his time! lol!

well just got home & sadly i've didn't have any joy filled emails waiting for me from my best mate! I did notice that the neutral feedback that people had left for him has previously been revised so they must've left him negative. I wonder if he abused & threatened them to get them to revise it!

no not had chance to speak to the Police yet. I didn't finish work till 4.40 & was going out with the Mrs at 5pm so only had time for a quick shower. At least being a "bold mug" i don't have much hair to wash! :D Just about to set off for work, got 2 jobs in Derby, 1 in Tamworth & 2 in Sheffield then depending on what time I get done in Tamworth i may be calling in to pick some Scooby parts up in Nottingham on my way back up the M1 to Sheffield. I'm hoping I can get everything done quicker than the time i've estimated. I usually do with keys as most are pretty straight forward

in the words of Ebay "zabas786 is no longer a registered user" :D The email from Ebay saying they'd taken action came through this morning at just after 6am. So i wonder if the idiot is up & has checked his emails & Ebay account yet! I can imagine him being a tad unhappy today. Wouldn't surprise me if i get some more amusing emails

anybody who knows me certainly won't believe i feel threatened. most will be surprised i haven't already set off down South looking for him. Not that i'm a violent/angry person(anymore! lol) i'm pretty chilled these days but still don't take ****!

that's why the email is still sat in my drafts! I was talking to a mate about it earlier & he said even though i don't feel threatened etc i should still report to the Police just on the off chance something does happen!

I would seriously love to get my hands around his neck & rip his head off his shoulders so it probably is a good job he is so far away. I have had to hold back from not abusing the crap out of him. As i advertise my keys etc on Ebay i thought it best not to stoop to his level as i do get 50% of my work through Ebay, which is all declared in my tax return! I have a message stored in my drafts which i typed up last night but haven't sent yet. There's no abuse, just facts! Stating that he's going to get himself booted off of Ebay if he carries on & where will that leave his 2 children, I also mentioned that he should be declaring his sales for tax purposes & if his mates bid then unless they pay for the items they won't receive anything in which case i'll report them for none payment! I also put that with all the threats, if something does happen to my car then who's going top get the blame. I then added that i got the car extremely cheap so if anything that happens to it my insurance will pay me out more than i paid so i'll be quids in! :D I did add a couple of other points but can't remember them off the top of my head

i know, i keep laughing every time he messages me. I haven't felt the slightest bit threatened but after last night i'm now just thinking "just !Removed! go away you annoying ****!" I'm going to get 1 of my mates to buy a cheap item from him so I can get his address without me getting it myself through Paypal

they've said nothing as yet. I've just emailed them informing them that he's bidding on my items with no intention of paying & leaving neg feedback. I've blocked him so at least he can't bid. He must be seriously thick in the head if he thinks that i'm actually feeling threatened. If he gets his mates to bid on my items then unless they pay they aren't going to receive anything in which case i'll just report them for none payment! ;)

well he's still at it! & now he's been bidding on 1 of my items! so here's the latest episode of "god i'm such a *****!" "at this present time it's me bidding. let me meet my team/ friends which identities you don't know. watch how they buy your items and leave you negative feedback. you won't be giggling/smiling then. u mug. your barking up the wrong tree in english words. revise your feedback to neutral at least. you got your item and its doing it's job. why you leaving !Removed! head feedback. this is my bread and butter for my two young kids. your a mug. i accepted best offer, sent it out asap. then u leave me negative feedback. allsorts of people out there that would do anything for peanuts.nasty and hungry people from all over the world. remember that. and have a good think about all the different understandings and possibilities in future. i didn't rip u off at all. can't believe you accused me by saying i left support on bumper on purpose. i sold u an honest item at a honest price" "i'll teach you a lesson you'll remember for the rest of your life. you'll wish you never started by accusing and threatening me if i wasn't to refund you. you gypo/chav"
