Another TradeMe crook

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Is it possible to report that sort of thing to our fine lads in blue?

Why? What are they going to do? They do not have the time to chase and or recover real property let alone look for scammers.

Yeah, the info is copied off ebay as no doubt are the photos, but what if he posted it for say $17500 and i'll take $16000 for a buy now? With a decent write up, not so easy to spot a scam now is it, must be school holidays, bloody kids, wonder if he is in Murchison? why Murchison if you're not?
Yeah the feedback is flawed like that, I've got 100% positive feedback with over 50 feedbacks, but youre so right. Bought some stuff the other day, paid him straight away, he was local, we discussed delivery first he said he'd drop it out at work on Saturday, he never showed then he said he'd courier it free, sweet, 3 days later he emails me and says a work mate will drop it off in a couple of days. Ended up getting the stuff 6 days after paying for it , no biggy but he still hasnt posted my feedback but I've posted his, he seemed pretty good with 100% positive but tempted to change mine to a neutral.

I still work on the rule no goods no money. We have purchased 3 motor bikes two cars and a shit load of other stuff from TM and been ripped once on a box of computer stuff. If the purchase is under $500.00 I call the seller voice and send a few Emails etc to try and check them but anything over $500.00 and I go and look and pick up. TM is a great place to trade. Saved from one thousand to four thousand on the big purchases like the cars and bikes. Spend time and a few $$$$ on the phone calls and it pays in the end.
