We get them in the Auto Trader here in Portland too.

Well lets see.. We have more than 2500 members here. Maybe we should all take turns calling them and asking them for info on the junk, I mean, their cars. We could keep them real busy with a bunch of empty promises and have them send us all photo's by SNAIL MAIL. That would cost them a few bucks and a bunch of time..

Any other ideas?? :icon_smile_cool:

I disagree.  My feedback is private and I have 99.6% positive.  454 pos, 2 neg.  I keep it private because I don't want people seeing what I've bought and sold and duplicating some of my money making flips.

That's not a bad idea, but it could also cost you some customers. I won't bid on anyone's merchandise if their feedback is private. It saved me from buying a charger from those pricks (HLPAG).

Just FYI. It's a trade off. If you're business is doing well no problem.

By the way, could you PM me those money making tips?  ;D

I see your point about protecting yourself, though.  But personally, I would never buy from someone with private feedback.  I see that at least you get the percentage or score with private feedback, but I am a nosy person and I like details. case in point:  I have seen items from sellers with 100% pos feedback, but in some of those positives, people will write that it shipped slow, etc....I just like the details.

I do the same thing, I read through all the person's neg feedbacks before I bid so I know at least what might go wrong.

:iagree:


And most of the time even if they have 100% positive, I won't bid from them unless they have a good number of feedbacks. I'd rather bid from someone with 500 feedback at 99.2%, then someone with 8 feedback at 100%.

I'll share with you the story of the day I made my feedback private.  I search every day for Hemi Widgets on Ebay and find the ones that are not listed well or are labeled as standard widgets.  I will ask that person if they have a Buy It Now and make them an offer.  Either way I'll end up winning the auction and I'll immediately relist the item with the appropriate photos and descriptions of why it's a Hemi Widget.  One day I found a beautiful widget and when I emailed the guy about it he checked my feedback and all my previous auctions.  He realized his mistake and not only corrected his auction but used all of my information and my photos.  Can't blame the guy for it, but I was pissed.  Rather than juggle two ebay names (like HLPAG does) I made my feedback private. 

So far I've done quite well with my widgets, Hazzard badges and other items...regardless of my feedback listing.

i figured you made it private cause you buy alot of stuff in the adult section.   :D

I will NEVER buy from anyone who has a private feedback, I got burned once that way and think that e-bay should do away with it  :flame:

Wakko

You didn't get burned on the feedback, Silva, you got burned from a dishonest seller and buying a car without more information.   If Ebay ever DID get rid of Private feedback I'd simply use a second name for buying than selling, which is exactly what HLPAG does.

Sorry to disagree with you wakko, but yes I did get burned and yeah I was/am a dumb F*CK for trusting but that does not change the fact that if I had the chance to read thier feedback I would have NEVER bought from them....

Thats not true, I know what you've bought and sold recently, you just have to know how to do it, no big secret there.

funny thing about this feedback stuff...i bought my charger on ebay, i had seen the hlpag cars and gladd i didnt buy one (didnt know bout there history then either). but there feedback #s were not terrible at the time. i just realised it was a "dealer" and thought they were getting a bit greedy. but i DID buy my charger from a KID with 0 feedback, the pics of the car werent very good, he couldnt tell me if it had disk brakes, or an 8.75 , or a sway bar. as a result it sold for a grand. and i drove a solid charger with disks, sway bar, and an 8.75 on my trailer smiling all the way. it didnt run well, but it did run , drive steer and stop. Ebay isnt always bad, over a year later he now only has a feedback of 2, but i would buy from him in a heartbeat. I know i took a huge chance buying my car like i did, but i figured at the least it was a 1000 parts car that i could beat on fer a year or so had i wanted to till i found a better one.

WHO IS HPLAG ?

An auto "seller" from Lake Villa Illinois. They specialize in making General Lee's. They are notorious for selling CRAP. Ask AIRBORNESILVA on this site what they will sell for 20,000.

They sell mostly on Ebay, the pics they take purposly do not show the the worst parts of the cars. They will say things like "needs trunk pan already cut out ready to weld in replacement" when in reality it was not cut out but rotted away and there is not metal to reattach a replacement panel. You buy something and upon deliver find that what you paid 20,000 for was nothing more than a spray bombed car that was dragged out of a junk yard and patched up enough to sell on Ebay.

They have ripped off MANY people with their dishonest sales practices and are totally shameless about doing it. Several people on this site have had run ins with these dirt bags. 

These people are a plague on the MOPAR community, do a GOOGLE search on these criminals and you will find that the name HPLAG is like a infection on the internet. They also go under the name Luedtke Auto Group.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS!!!!!
