Technically u beat him to a loss but this fraudster never runs at a loss cos he catches unsuspecting collectors/buyers with all his faked decal,color,base & wheel variations & prepros on a daily basis.Its his full-time job!!motorman wrote:Numi It may also make you happy to know that i recon i paid a lot less than Tom paid the original Brazilian seller!!numi wrote:This was a nice catch from that fraudster MM,a nice Brazilian specimen indeed.motorman wrote:Yes! Reluctantly i did buy it from that seller in Bolton!!!!!
However I did have knowledge of who he purchased it from and here is the link to the original E bay sale, all the way from Brazil!!

Ultimately he sold it to me at a loss!!!
It still made me feel very good Numi, because I was very aware of this sellers rather dubious reputation but i knew where he had bought the car from and roughly what he had paid for it so selling it to me at a loss minus his ebay commish and paypal deductions made me feel very happy. Furthermore i know that he made a considerable loss on several matchbox cars he sold in that auction, so i recon he wasn't opening the Champagne to celebrate what ever small profit he made if any from his other sales.numi wrote:
