Seller Advice

Hi Folks,

Has anyone had any dealings, successful or otherwise with a seller Derek Brinkley of Boston, Lincolnshire?

I was recently mis-sold a Tilley OL50 as an OL51 lamp. He would not come to an amicable resolution (I want to keep it and had recieved a quote to remanufacture the missing part), he has now stopped communicating

I am greatly saddened about the outcome of this otherwise friendly transaction and wondered if others had experienced similar? Feel free to PM me if you would rather not post.

Alec.

 

I'm having some problems with a seller from Boston, Lincs, but the name is different ! Bit coincidental though aye I'll send you a PM

 

The name rings a bell - wasn't he one of the shill-bidding group exposed last year by a member over at CCS...

 

Is Derek Brinkley of Boston, Lincolnshire a Company or a privat person?
I normally get a adress from the person I send Money to. If I am cheated, only happend once , then I send a open postcard where I write to him that I would appriciate if he sended the Money I transferred to him and he cheated me for, back. It worked after a few postcards and I got my Money back.

if he is a ebay person would be nice to see his user name so people know to be weary if buying from them

Saw that, and CFC has already been been noted here for dubious dealing.

Rangie .
If you looked at the Ol51 he was selling and did some homework you would have realized it was a OL50
There is plenty of information and photos on this site describing the differences etc .Buyer beware.

Well Pete

I bought a stove from 'Statelands' from Boston Lincs outside of Ebay, been three weeks now and no stove ! He might come good but I got that bad feeling in me waters

Sh#¥ happens I guess but there again, what goes around, comes around aye !

 

See this [url=http://0flo.com/index.php?threads/6045 .

He was banned by Ebay for a short while for "Feedback Manipulation and Shill Bidding". Unfortunately it's hard to check on his activities as he now keeps all bidder and feedback IDs private.

Thanks Terry

Think you've got your answer Alec

 

Thought that was him and his cronies - family members IIRC...

Ray, your seller isn't Derek Kirkham, by any chance...

 

Not positive David, but his email is 'Paul B' which could indicate Paul Brinkley , and may well be one of the family

Cheers

 

Hmmm,

Well I have his address, I shall pay him a visit when i'm next passing!

Alec.

 

His phone number and email address are available on his auctions pages as well as his home address.

 

hope you get the stove Ray been caught twice on ebay myself years back not nice at all ebay don't seem to care tho

cheers pete

 

Theres a few dodgy characters there in Boston the same family by all accounts............i been warned abt these guys.

 

I got those already Matt, not much use if he doesn't answer either of them,

Where's his address Matt ? PM me if you like

I'm still waiting for me stove.......

Off course you need to be on Facebook.

 

Also posted by Derek Brinkley - why Derek Kirkham on the poster & business card?

 

Interesting, I think this is the fella I'm looking for......

All part of the same family I guess

 

Its James

Or at least his lamp

Claus C

 

He obviously visits the forum then

 

He appears on the facebook page I linked so yes, probably same family.

 

What's the connection?

 

He uses the Photo of James SDR on his "Visit"-Cards:

That cant be legal for Commercial use unless James let him do it, James dont care or it is James himself.

I see! Well spotted.

 

Notice on that twitter thingy that Ray linked to the name "Lynzi2709" is mentioned numerous times and that also is one of the suspect ebay members from the last topic on shill bidding that Terry linked to further up.

 

Yep should of mentioned that mate,

 

No it is not me and no I did not let him use that photo.

 

Anyone interested in a 300X glass? Well I could use a couple of these, but after this I dont dare.

Note the seller and precautions:
