Re: Faker alert
Heres Toms other Ebay user details where he made these 2x purchases from Nik_Stil and heres Toms reply to another collector.

matchboxtom reply;
Hi, I didn't purchase these models from Greece . If you check my auction template I have also a pre-production Mercedes 350 SL (being auctioned next week). All were purchased from a private collector not fakes, it's impossible to fake plastic matchbox parts and I should point out the rivets are untampered with as well as the incomplete date on the Ferrari which is also impossible to fake?
Best regards.
Here are the actual purchase listings:

Re: Faker alert
They don't all do it, but business sellers are required to put their trading name, address, phone number, etc on their ebay listings.

Re: Faker alert
Can anyone clarify if Nik Stil is a member of this forum? If he isn't it might be a good idea to pursuade him to come on board.

Re: Faker alert
Hi xxxx!
I have all other messages this idiot sent to me .I'll send you them to upload them for the other collectors in your forum there !I saw that his adress has in the auction is the same with the adress i sent the cars 3 weeks ago about.Look a copy of his responses.
But remember !dont let the things to go to in a bad situation !I dont care about him ,im only talking about me as i want to keep selling my RESTORED cars,to my customers on ebay.
i do it only to help the guys to your forum and not get involved in other troubles :
the messages are ::
--------------------
1)''''''I think there's been a mis understanding here because all 3 are genuine and were never purchased from you but a local collector.. I would never buy a set of 3 pre-pros for £800 unless I was certain they were original, I double checked the rivets for any signs of removal and they are untampered with?
Best regards ''' BUYER
response from me:
'''The black mercedes /red interior /red roof ,is older car made from me !!Dont know from where you bought it ,but the last 2 cars, i wrote you , can be seen in my completed sold listings.Also i was the maker of the ,yellow interior and the no patent base to cortina and the no number to the ferrari...
By the way the adress i sent the cars :''' Mrs J Gillan

..says something to you??
I can recognise my cars from one kilometer high and after 10 or 100years...'' SELLER
-------------------
2)''''''So you sell fake pre-productions? And your trying to report me? Maybe you should be careful.
These are not the same models as the fakes you intend to sell which disrupt the market,
I suggest you think very wisely as I will keep a look out on your listings.
Regards ''''BUYER
...and my response to him :
'''NO!!! IM LISTING AS R E S T O R E D and not as geniuine you are trying RE-selling them !!dont try to make me fear ,because they have inform me from the UK diecast forum for you and my cars !!!So you know what does it mean as they have seen them and will do the same thing as me!!
what do you think??we are silly persons ??everyone knows me that im selling restored preproductions because im listing them cheap and as RESTORED!!!
thats all for now-SELLER
-------------------
3)'''I think there's been a mis understanding here because all 3 are genuine and were never purchased from you but a local collector..

Best regards ''BUYER
my last response:
Look ''my friend''.
I have the the photos of the cars i sold 2 weeks ago to your adress and are the same in the rivets etc. I wrote you ,i know my cars very well .
I dont know about the other cars you are selling ,ok maybe they are originals ,i dont say something opposite , im only talking about my 2 cars you have there and the 3rd( black mercedes ) you are gonna list .SELLER
-------------
4) I can shed a bit more light on the situation.... I have spoken with my family member (jogillan) and the 2 models purchased from you are for another family members toy car collection as a gift since they cannot afford the genuine pre-productions... these are totally different to the ones I am selling as all 3 were purchased from a private collector so there has been a mis-understanding here.. Like I said I only sell originals not fakes like the ones you sell.
It's just an ironic situation.
Regards-BUYER
After this i got tired to answer to this man as he says me bullshit excuses( sorry for my bad words).
So all these above hope helps the situation ,and remember what i wrote above about me
regards ,SELLER.
