Anyway, let's see if one of the mods can create a sticky "bad buyers" or "bad traders" thread. Sounds good. I'll gladly copy and paste my massive blocked bidders list direct from Ebay. A list of epic proportions that includes Senicko from years back and also the scum bag from Thailand who...

Here's what I do after being stung a couple of times: After you ship item Email the buyer: "Thanks for buying my blah, blah blah. Shipping this date blah, blah, blah. Tracking number is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..." Send the message through Ebay. This way the note is stored in your "Sent...

Unbelievable. :o This one's almost certainly going to end in tears somewhere down the line....

This should explain the sleeve ribbing detailing same as on most WEPs.

Material feels identical to the regular WEP type jacket. Thinner nylon. A lot of the detailing identically the same as the WEP including collar ribbing and inverted cuff sleeve ribbing....

Anyone seen this one before? Material and detailing close to the WEP except the pockets are lowered. Guessing this one would have been a prototype that didn't make it to the production line?

He's also got a killer CBI A-2 that has appeared on Ebay a few times already then been pulled on the last day.

And then the icing on the cake. The scammer or attempted scam artist is free to leave you a neg feedback after you've had the pleasure of being scammed / attempted to be scammed.... And you can't do a thing about it! Then once you've got more than a few negs your fees cost more. Brilliant! :D

Re: I'll be dead in 2 years, no kids to leave it too. Also the chunky zipper says 100% repro. Good sales pitch though. :P

As of now this thread is officially hijacked. :lol: Centrepins and floats all the way out these parts (Great Lakes). Not as pretty as the Pacific but numbers can be insane. Dusting off the gear right now with the first fresh chinook salmon moving into the rivermouths. Then it's steelhead non...

Annoying.... I like your avitar thingy whatever you call it. So you a fellow steelhead fan? I'm a total junkie. :twisted:

So what other online retailers will sell you original vintage flight jackets more conveniently at great prices? Most online retailers I have seen jack up the prices to the higher end of market price. On Ebay you can still pick up bargains. But with sellers currently looking elsewhere to sell in...

With the present all controlling set up on Ebay sellers are now basically at the mercy of any whacko with an attitude problem or Paypal charge back scammer. As soon as another viable option / rival auction site on a big scale opens up you are going to see a helluva lot of sellers jumping ship...

One of the rarest of all the old jackets. The few I have found over the years have always been trashed for some reason.

Here's how it works. A seller who pays auction / Paypal fees and thereby pays the salaries of the Ebay employees can only say nice things in feedback and also can only leave positive feedback. Even if he was extorted by a Paypal claim back fraudster or left hanging by a dead beat bidder. A...
