Another Ebay Scam?
 

Possibly another Ebay scam. New Ebay seller, no previous activities, no reserve on Boomerang!!!! I am leary of this one.
Sent seller lots of questions and phone numbers of AMA members that can verify him and this jet.
Here is the link

At this point i would question if this is for real. I fly in brooklyn and there is only one field in brookly where you can fly a turbine, Floyd bennet field does not look like the field in the photo. If the seller does reply pm me and i will inquire about the seller this weekend when i am at bennet flying.

Ask the guy for the serial number off the Wren.
Sara may be able to give an owner.

All engines built at the Wren factory have serial numbers but we don't have serial numbers on the kits because it's easy for a customer to swop an outer case and so change the number.

Sorry, I can't help.

And how many flyers in Brooklyn list measurements in millimeters and weights in kilograms? Yes...suspicious.

I sent questions to seller but no reply to date.

Here we go again!!!! If you think it is BS, it probably is. Why would you buy a jet off Ebay anyway!!!! Dumb as far as I'm concerned. I had a friend who bought a P-200 through Ebay and got a 15lb log in a box instead...

RE: Another Ebay Scam?
 

My question is what is e-bay going to do about it. Do they take no responciblity for there adds, is e-bay just going to let this stuff happen. And its happened more than once.

RE: Another Ebay Scam?
 

danber,

The seller made no replys to my inquiries and for local pickup. Yes I placed a bid.
My guess he is a fraud! I would like to be proved wrong.
If the drive is worth your hard earned money, then go get the Jet pay on the spot.

sending fraud reports it ebay is not easy except Spoof email reports to them.

I sent ebarf a notice of concern about the auction....
their reply was "you have to protect yourself."
