Congratulations Mark!

I'd better start saving for that 2007 convention!

Mark, have you read the other thread posted by a member saying the seller is sending out "second chance" offers to non-winning bidders?

Better get your set on the truck and safely home, something sounds fishy.

I don't think those 2nd chance offers mean anything. I got the same thing when I lost the Philco pair. I simply ignored them.

I've heard reports that some of those are spoofs, especially on the high-dollar auctions. They are hoping that you'll bite on the offer and send them payment through PayPal, etc. so they get the money then run off...

Beware!!

Mark, congratulations. I am glad they stayed in the family.

Congratulations Mark on the beautiful machines!! I can't wait to see them in action at the 2007 wash-in!

I suggest, like Cimberlie said, you get that shipping truck out there and get the LKs in your possession ASAP; I'm just a little suspicious myself of the "zero-feedback" seller (NEVER a good sign from what I've seen). As to the "second-chance offer" scheme, I think it would be a good idea to give the seller absolute hell about it.

 

[Versatronic]

Don't give the seller hell

The odds are overwhelming that the seller knows nothing about the second chance over. The odds are that a seller with 0 feedback doesn't even know what a second chance offer is. Easy. The overwhelming odds are that the pair are on their way and these are scam artists at work. This happens all the time.

Spoke to the seller this morning.........

Hi All! Thanks so much for your concern on the machines. I was really touched by everyone's comments. Spoke to the seller this morning and she had no idea about the scam going on. The machines were picked up about an hour ago by Beltman. She is a bookseller and hasn't used Ebay before. I guess it was Baptism by fire so to speak. This seller is a very nice lady. She said that if she ever comes across something like this again that she will let the club members know first! Mark

So happy to hear that all is ok Mark and that your new beauties are on there way to you and their new loving home. Terry

 

[mayken4now]

Good news Mark! Let us know when you take delivery on them. We are all waiting for the total visual inspection you will perform.

Thanks for the invite. It seems like they always have mini wash-ins in TX and out West. It would be AWESOME to see the Pink Lady pair in person, and your impressive collection that I’ve seen pictures of. I’m also interested in hearing about your experience w/ Beltmen.
