• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

Now I remember, Dennis is his name. He ripped me off several years ago on that military rig. I sent him a set of the criss cross reproduction headlight guards before I received any payment. Cost for the guards plus the shipping. Trusted him as if he was an upstanding fellow bronco brother. One excuse after another and I still have not gotten reimbursed!! He even came up with the excuse that he had to go to Chicago and watch his brother's trial for murder. Could not believe what I was hearing! Man did I get screwed! And not even a kiss! :mad:

Thanks for the help on this Jimmy (JGBronc)!

No problem, Tim. I hate that you fell victim to him as well. That is why I try to help make people aware. So it doesn't happen again.

I actually was ripped off by him once too in a similar scenario several years ago, before I fully knew what he was doing with the Broncos he sold. If I knew back then how he actually was, I wouldn't have sold him a broken taillight lens, much less the 2 radiators he did get. I consider my case very minor compared to what others have dealt with, but still, it was wrongdoing.

Interesting tactic he uses... He puts in his description that he will cancel high bids with zero feedback. He then outbids everyone on purpose with a fake account with zero feedback. Then he can turn around and offer the sale at the highest amount the #2 person was willing to bid.

On Dec-08-14 at 04:00:34 PST, seller added the following information:
if you have a zero feedback and you bid without asking first your bid will be cancelled and blocked. thanks

Seller:
imjakefromstatefarm (0 ) | Seller's other items

So the rule applies to buyers but not him?%)

frelematth is new handle? aka socks n sandals ...

YUP! One of his whopping 2 feedbacks is from "nutrition wholesalers"....Maybe Dennis is having a little difficulty in other areas of his personal life as well!

I think he robbed the tires off that thing to pay for his "supplements". They don't even match. F'ing loser.

Anagrams of frelematth :

Lamer Theft
Fart Helmet
Maler Theft?

He must be constipated. F'n guy just won't give up. If he had as much determination to secure a real job as he does for hocking junk on ebay he could probably make a decent living. But, why earn an honest wage when you can rip off unsuspecting ebay buyers. What a tool.

Same color as a green 77' he sold previously. Not sure if it's the same one. But that is definitely the work of jerkfromstickfarm.

There are SO many things wrong with that Bronco. "Original tires with 65% thread"?

Contact info?

Does anyone have his contact info? I have a guy trying to sell me some doors for a grand, that I feel aren't worth $500. He's from middle Alabama. Thanks!

Simple enough, don't buy them. May or may not be the same guy, makes no difference, but I can tell you for sure that a set of doors are nowhere near worth $1k. $500 is a fair price for an absolute pristine set of originals.

Doors

That's the price range I thought they should be in. My problem has been finding a set. Any input would be appreciated.

Just a bit of advice.... When you find a set of doors , unless you already have a set your pulling parts from. Take a good look all the parts are with them, door parts add up quick. I'm going through this now.

I'll agree 1K is high for a pair of doors, but pristine complete doors don't exist for $500.00, sorry. Stainless vent glass alone is bringing $100-$125/side.
