I recently bought 2 VIN de-coders on e-Bay, one
each for my 300F and '65 New Yorker. From the same vendor, one Doug Olin of
Gary, Indiana, who goes by the apt monicker of 'eyes4crime'.
Here is his e-Bay description:
Do I read the word "original" ? with a capital O
?
They arrived today, and if they are 'original",
I'm the Pope !!
These are copies, and not particularly good ones
at that. One of the pages in one set has been trimmed with a guillotine and
has a 'bend' in the cut.
One other has got the numbers on the bottom of
the page cut off.
I'm furious, the descripion states clearly that
they are original. The 2 cost me $20 which is near $50 in New Zealand
currency, not really chickenfeed.
Also, I checked out his auctions a few minutes
ago. He sells LOTS of de-coders. All the pictures he'd posted had been deleted
before his auctions were to end. The thing I find a bit odd is that everyone
he's sold a de-coder to has given him positive feedback !
Well, not me. This is a scam. Mine are NOT
originals, and that's a fact. I know an original from a brand new
copy.
Any suggestions on this dilemma would be much
appreciated. I have never had anyone on e-Bay pull one like this
before.
Thanks in advance,
Dave in New Zealand.
