This guy has Neil's mud flaps up for sale on the Samba:

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=377019


and they're still up for sale on e-bay!!!

Pretty ballsy to list something for sale when you don't even own it! Shocked

Oh, he and I have already been talking via e-mail. I told him he had some balls, and then just to use Neil's pics. I'll keep my mouth shut from here. But I'm very tempted raise the price, too. Obviously, he's looking to make a buck, not look out for the community as a whole. His right. But still an 'interesting' way to do it.

No, those are the one's. Then he 'says' that maybe he has another set, just in case. I could post the e-mails he sent to me, but it wouldn't serve any justice. Just very brazen, in my opinion. Bet ya if he doesn't win them, that ad on the Samba drops off like a dead weight! Embarassed

I don't know, he says they're sold. Kind of hard to back out now.

Well I woulda liked to get 'em, but I need to get Bridget fixed so I can sell her and move out of this crapshack. Most places aren't going to let me take 3 cars with me.

Plus, I get to go to sleep tonight with a little smile... Smile

Yep, I wanted them as well. But Neil comes out ahead, at someone else's expense. Sounds like this will maybe help a bit. Sleep with a little smile? Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Thanks guys! Exceeded my expectations. I have contacted Everett and requested that the pictures be removed. If he has a set, he can use his own pictures. Although the guy just registered on TheSamba earlier this month, so maybe he's just a fraud. Shocked

Neil-
Get a load of his revised ad. Now asking $350 for your mud flaps. Good luck to him if he can find a buyer for that price. Doubt they'll sell for anything near that. Rolling Eyes

$202 is already pretty much top dollar on those.

Using photos stolen from Ebay is frowned upon with the fraud possibilities and usually results in ad deletion.

I'm thinking of selling those repops I got from Lee, or maybe one of the other 6 NOS sets I have.

So Neil, now that I helped you out with that, got any other NOS stuff you'll give me at a discount? Wink

Glad I could help. Very Happy
