In 2004, I get ripped by sellitall.sellit (previously named slotrods in 2002/2003 if my memory is correct - bought some nice cars from him during this period)

I was not apparently the only one who get ripped off .... I sent 80 bucks for a bunch of cars and never received them. Nobody reimbursed me by the way, PayPal was not eePay property at his time

In 2001, a guy (tweetygee, located in Germany) sold me a rare AFX BMW M1 Valvoline #9...There was only one left front picture , it didn't showed the right rear side, which was almost chewed by some rat or cat or...?
Hopefully as it's a really rare car I resold it for half the price I've paid, but with pictures clearly stating it's bad state

BTW, I have an ultra rare and minty (another one of my favorite expressions... NOT!) UOP Shadow for sale. The very rare no wing version!!

Zanza, Many of my slot cars came from slotrods he was a great seller. He once sent me an Aurora vibrator Police car by mistake. I told him and sent it back to him. He said his 13 yo nephew was helping him and must have messed up. He was happy that he could send it to the right buyer.

Like you said, he WAS.... I also bought some really cool and good slot cars that are proudly kept in my collection.
But between Christmas 2003 and January 2004, he apparently changed his seller name solding everything, get the money and never send anything to anybody.... I should have kept the emails exchange I received after from eBay, which apparently estimate that the police get the guy and put him in jail.


But eBay is still the best source I have for buying slotcars, and if you're wise and read well you don't really get screwed every thre auctions. The first ripoffs are part of the "learn your lesson"
