Pretty well highlighted above the sad sack tactics this guy uses in an attempt to hoodwink

people. He pretends to have a big eBay operation but in reality sells vehicles out of the back yard of his house in Houston. He and his Houston crew are in the habit of bolstering their ebay ratings by pretending to buy from each other including glowing eBay ratings.  They appear to be relatively new in the Houston TX used car sales field.



Another scam they pull is to bid on each other's auctions in an attempt to manipulate autions and unsuspecting buyers into paying premium prices for autos that fall far short of their advertised condition and his sales puffery.  If this guy has a noteworthy talent, it is for taking staged photographs using black spray paint trickery.



Below is a link that demonstrates the bidding manipulation they engage in.  Click on bid history to see for yourself and if interested click on the bidders to cross reference their obvious scam.

Checking the bidder records highlights who he conspires with on eBay to commit fraud. A "dry and rust free" car is spelled "rust bucket". When a vehicle described as "SERVICED" arrives with both rear dual

wheels seized so tight with rust and salt corrosion that they can't be separated or removed to fix a flat,

you know service is something the truck hasn't seen in years.  This fellow only really cares about getting

his grubby hands on your money and cares not in the least about the safety of his customers.  If you

comment on his missed commitments he blocks your email and phone number and thereby ignores an and all reasonable requests.



He is simply not to be trusted but is to be avoided at all costs.
