hi im considering buying from 666staker666 basically is the guy kosher he has been a member for several years. But im curious as to how I tell exactly; he has great feedback but seems a little odd for example selling parts from a Rocket III from an elderly relatives houseclearance well the Rocket III only came out in 2004 so hmmm... anyway I would be grateful for any opinions as I know I am quite pessimistic in general

PS MODS please move this if ive placed it in the wrong place there didnt seem to be anywhere obvious

    Maybe the obvious place would be Ebay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales - if you PM one of the board guides then they should be able to move it for you :)

    http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=666staker666&ftab=AllFeedback&myworld=true is the feedback history. I don't know enough about the bits that he sold but looking at the feedback his buyer looks legit so I wouldn't be overly suspicious.

    I wouldn't be suspicious about him/ her at all.
    However, s/he has nothing for sale (or am I missing something?)!
    Can we just take it as read I didn't mean to offend you?

    Judging by the odd items he sells, I wouldn't be surprised if hes really a house clearance type. However, he also seems to be a reliable seller, so I'd say he's legit.

    Are elderly people not allowed to buy things after 2004? Just because they are elderly doesn't mean they can't aquire possesions until they are no longer required.

    no it just didnt seem like something an old person would buy I was assuming houseclearance meant "had died" so not really in a position to be riding a bit of a monster (I Imagine the vibrations would seriously hurt my grandad and if he came off then you know). Then again I dont really know thats why im asking.

    yes but i was thinking of asking him to relist (not sure of the terminology here) a lamp

    Hi :)

    I'll move this one across to the ebay board.
