Now many of you readin this will be no strangers to what I'm about to impart on you!
GB102!! or is it RUBBERDUCKY or is it BURNER 13 or something else!!
I've read many posts an threads on this person an have read them with an open mind.
However he recently won my auction on ebay an did his 'can i buy in installments etc via Postal orders etc' (we did have a previous agreement till he mentioned the installment thing!!!)
I agreed an laid out the parameters of the deal ie First payment in 7 days no post till final payment.
To which i received a message he didnt want it anymore.
Fortuneately the second highest bidder was also the winner of another item so we were able to secure a deal.
GB102 or whatever he calls himself goes by the name of carmaniac14 on the bay.
I'm not here to be a c**t but i've read the posts on this forum an his feedback on the bay!!
I gave him negative feedback for the reasons stated above (but was usin my wifes account so she now has the negative feed back!! - She aint Happy) an he's given negative back for no reason at all!!
I dont want to stir up sh*t but i was readin the comments whilst the auction was nearin the end hopin he wouldn't win cos i knew i'd be on the receivin end of the preverbial 'Shit Sandwich'
If you choose to deal with him just be advised an dont be surprised if it all goes 'Pete Tong'!!

He's not making any friends is he?

RUBBERDUCKY/GB102/BURNER13/PRIMOMAN/ Whatever name you go by...you're not welcome to sell or buy things on this forum.

Buyers/Sellers beware.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for that i will stay clear

Can i just state i'm not out to screw him over but i feel you guys need to realise what your lettin yourself in for if you deal with him.
The fact he keeps changing his name doesn't bode well.
I believe in giving everyone the benefit of the doubt but if you read the threads he's been offered this many times over an hasn't learnt so what can you do?
an as for payment by installments??!!
This aint a Club Book is it??
Be wary.

carmaniac has been messing with me too

Did you manage to slvage your auction??

harris · « **Reply #6 on:** June 13, 2007, 09:44 PM »

if this person is one and the same,cant trading standards or someone get involved as hes a scammer.
whos got his address.

noddybeard · « **Reply #7 on:** June 13, 2007, 09:50 PM »

You'd think that!
But i'm pretty sure the 'Grey Area' ETC translates to if you deal in 'Cyber Space' it aint there prob!!.
I personally think subscriptions should include an address that way you could go round an punch em on the nose!!
Hypothetically of course!!

Lazarou · « **Reply #8 on:** June 13, 2007, 10:01 PM »

Seriously, if someone has his address and someone lives nearby, we really should have a word with his parents.

noddybeard · « **Reply #9 on:** June 13, 2007, 10:04 PM »

I personally wish he would just learn!!
Dont play people cos it aint nice an somewhere down the line UR gonna pay one way or the other!!!
at the end of the day how many heads up does one person need?

I'm genuinely convinced he must be mentally ill. He just seems so naive about his actions being acceptable behaviour. The kid has no conscious....

noddybeard · « **Reply #11 on:** June 13, 2007, 10:57 PM »

That would explain a lot!!

Nah, he's a griefer, plain and simpe.

He does it to get kicks. Initially I thought he was a naive kid but now I think he knows exactly what he's doing and he's ou to cause trouble, nothing less.

He's a cnut of the highest order.

HRD

Daz could you pm them to me as from one of his posts he mentioned a bike shop that is local to me

Trev · « **Reply #17 on:** June 14, 2007, 12:42 AM »

he lives in bexleyheath. i had so much grief with him when he wanted parts of me. ban the b@st@rd...

CD17 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 14, 2007, 06:14 AM »

Primoman has been asking me about some Tuffs, I did suspect it could have been BMXBOY13.

Iv found if you don't reply to his PMs when he starts talking $hit about "Im having trouble with my paypal" he goes away

It could be that he just has no friends.

Somebody pay him a visit

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #19 on:** June 14, 2007, 08:45 AM »

Careful, he might know Dave Courtney.

Daz, you should auction his addresses on ebay!

brass monkey! · « **Reply #21 on:** June 14, 2007, 09:23 AM »

i think he has more login names - i've had other strange PM's from other newbies, in the same vein as his other incarnations !

there must be a solution to stop rogues creating lots of usernames just to stir up trouble, I can undertand why VBMX introduced a subscription fee now......

thesku11s · « **Reply #22 on:** June 14, 2007, 09:34 AM »

I noticed some pratt on bmx-forum trying to sell overpriced tat including the old 'gt replica' to some bemused new school kids.

Guess who?
