Ebay- IS THIS FROM YOUR STOLEN CAR?
 
I have been checking up on this ebay item for a while now.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEBWA%3AIT

I emailed the seller and he said that his reserve price is $400. As you all know, this is simply outrageous, since anyone can buy the item on racingbeat.com for less than $350.

The seller also claimed that he paid over $600 for it.



This got me thinking...

Has anyone in California had their car stolen? This item will work for either an FB or FC.

If you had a racing beat header and presilencer on your car when it was stolen, this may be it.

I just wanted to let you all know.

But tell me what you think. I figured I'd just post this to help anyone out who might have gotten their car stolen. (chop shop, y'know?)

Man seeing the pic on Ebay the whole thing looks pritty seedey if you ask me...

C'mon half an aftermarket exhaust system sittling on the back of a pickup truck, the pic has been cut down so much as not to be able to tell the truck at all.

Some thing smells bad about this whole thing....

Rotary13B1 01-29-04 12:24 PM

hahaha Good luck to him selling it for $400. Wonder if he wants to buy my Primaflow for $500??? ( I did buy it for $650) hehe

BadAssRX-7 01-29-04 12:34 PM

HOLLY SHIT and he wants 100$ to ship it plus sales tax..... isnt that for a company selling stuff?

82transam 01-29-04 01:07 PM

thats bullshit, i bet it is a hot part, look at the other shit in the back of his truck, all stolen i bet. what a fuckwad

John64 01-29-04 03:27 PM

He closed the bidding on it already. Must be something up!

BIG J MIXALOT 01-29-04 08:00 PM

thats alot of money

ioTus 01-29-04 08:24 PM

shipping from RACINGBEAT for the FULL EXHAUST system is $50.

excitingleopard 01-29-04 09:34 PM

Well, my backup plan worked. He accepted my offer.

Inittab, I wanna see what those ebay users had to say before I seal the deal. You said you know some of them?

Does anyone know the weight of a header and presilencer? That way I can calculate the shipping cost myself.

inittab 01-29-04 09:38 PM

I recognize the names "rotary_resurrection" and "aaroncake". It looks like "aaroncake". had a bad experience according to the feedback.

85rotarypower 01-29-04 09:44 PM

Aaron Cake gave negative feedback. I just recenly picked up the rims and tires I bought from Aaron. Very nice guy. He must have done something to get negetive feedback from Aaron.

excitingleopard 01-29-04 10:00 PM

Yeah I saw that too. I emailed both of them. Shipping for that item should be about $50. I am beginning to lose what trust I have left in this user.

Pele 01-29-04 10:37 PM

Truck is either a recent (96-2000) Ford Ranger/Mazda B series, or an earlier 90's Toyota Tacoma.

Leaning towards the Ranger/Mazda...

Keaponlaffen 01-29-04 11:20 PM

yeah, Ranger/Mazda, not toyota, the toyota tails are smoother, not as protruding...

RotaryRevn 01-30-04 01:18 AM

Yeah the guy's on crack but I don't see anything to show it's stolen. He probably just brought it home from the junk yard in his truck and took some pics. I crop my pics as much as I can to, I don't want you knuckleheads knowing where I live....j/K

^Your auction?

I met Aaron_Cake at the rotary gathering in Ottawa last year. He came 8 hrs from southern Ontario to attend. He's an awesome guy. His daily driver is one of those gas-electric hybrids that gets like 40mpg, but his BP 1st gen gets like 8, so it all balances out ;) I agree that this seller seems a slight shady. It's weird: he knows it's a RacingBeat header and presilencer, and yet doesn't know the value of it. I won't jump to the conclusion that it's stolen, however I will say that this guy definitely doesn't seem to be trustworthy!!

excitingleapord, did you say you bought it? How much did you end up paying for it?

Jon

RXcetera 01-30-04 09:48 AM

Aaron has a turboed N/A 2nd gen and an Insight... or did I miss something??

RXcetera 01-30-04 09:49 AM

How's your car coming along btw Jon?

BIG J MIXALOT 01-30-04 10:08 AM

HE HAS LIKE 20 SOMTHING BIDS AND THE RESERVE IS STILL NOT MET

If any of you want it, go ahead. I offered $250 and he accepted. But I decided not to risk it, since I am constantly on the hairy side of broke. I just bought a cat replacement pipe from RB instead.


I emailed Aaroncake and he had no idea what I was talking about haha. He didn't remember the name or anything.
