yes- I know him. He is legit, and one of the pre-emminent 928 experts. I've met him at a couple of different shark functions, and he is well known in the 928 community. I would not hesitate to buy a car from him. He has had over 30 928's, not to mention the other varients of the p-car.

I'm pretty sure this is the same guy I bought my euro headlamps from last year. It was a good transaction.

Scott used to visit here every once in a while. I haven't purchased from him, but he was always straight up on details and any questions I had.
Looks like he is selling off a LOAD of nice cars. Doing it all at once is going to make for a week or so of low prices across the board.

His reputation in the 928 community is well supported.

He's a great guy and really knows the 928. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him.

he put a Euro on eBay, had one day to go, and then pulled the auction and put it back on with a different starting price and a reserve.......
wouldn't hesitate to deal with him (as some have suggested)?????----I wouldn't by a catfish from him for a dollar....... he has no credibility with me due to these actions regardless of what he knows-----

If you talked directly to Scott, or completed a transaction with him I think you might see that he is a genuine good guy in the Porsche world.
Two different Euros, I think, first one went with a buy it now at $3500. Ebay is acting funny, completed auctions aren't showing anything when I check on people like Hondawg (Scott), but they show when doing completed on 928's in general. Scott is dumping cars that I think are real bargains. Sloppy ads and so many similar cars they aren't getting the bids they deserve. Too bad its wrong coast.

Here is a "working" link to all his auctions that have completed so far, its a LOT of cars and they are selling cheap, and I am pretty sure what you saw were the two Euro's that ended about a day apart.
Link to Silver and Tan Euro Link to Blue and Blue Euro

fyi---
the auction I referred to had no 'buy it now' or 'reserve price' when originally posted. danglerb has listed the auction I refer to: "blue and blue" Euro he ended the auction on his own accord, thereby denying the bids (up to the point of the auction being pulled) to run their course. as far as I know (I have been an eBay member for many, many years), this is contrary to eBay protocols. at the very least, it was rude of him to do it---- to deny all of us a fair chance at purchasing the car he offered. he may be a great knowledge source to some, but a great guy to deal with? I don't see it because of this issue. to say "it's his auction, he can do what he wants with it", gives eBay'ers a bad name......and is just plain lame. if he is such a stand up guy as many of you describe, he should have let the original auction run until its end, and then sold the car to the highest bidder. in doing so, he might have filled his wallet a little more. average market price for that car (even with the fuel distributor issue) was well over the re-listed buy it now price. considering I am currently less that two hours away from him, I would have bought the car for considerably more than he sold it for, and removed from his location that same afternoon......in fact, I might have been interested in taking both Euro's off his hand in one trip. now, I wouldn't take one off his hands if he paid me to come get it. too bad for him----too bad for those who truly would have paid more and would have enjoyed the purchase. -----------------

Scott made it clear that these cars have got to go, gone by 9/10. Somebody made a cash offer and like 90% of the ebay auto ads an immediate local sale took precedence over an auction ending in a few days. Ebay has no problem with it, and its a very common practice. You should have talked to Scott if you were interested, should STILL talk to Scott, maybe he has another or some other issue ended the auction.

his ad made no mention of local advertising or offers accepted. I would not take issue with him over this if his listing said so. I stick to eBays' rules and guidelines since becoming a member many years ago, to build my reputation as reliable and build my feedback number to its current high level with 100% satisfaction. danglerb, you're grasping at straws again. just stick to the facts. calling Scott would serve no purpose at this point, nor did I feel the need at the time of auction based on the ad as presented. I cannot/will not speculate as to why he pulled the auction and then relisted without stating a reason, but it was just rude of him to do it that way. some of my auctions have hiccups in the past, but I have never pulled an ad with less than 24 hours to go, and then re-list with a buy it now without explanation. I can only hope that he got way over his re-listed buy it now price, because it was a huge bargain at that point. ------------------------- ----------

He is a good guy with some major change in his life making him sell off a dozen cars, I think you should cut him some slack about the fine points of his ebay auctions.

well, as usual when you have a different opinion about how some one runs their deal, there will be others there to defend it.
I only pointed out that in my opinion, Scott could have done his auctions differently, giving those of us who follow eBay a "fair" chance to bid on his cars. his auctions had plenty of time to run their course and still have the cars removed from their current location within the specified time period. what actually happened on his end is just speculation at this point, which is what I said from the start. he had offers to end the auctions early, but didn't, then he did, and then re-listed with different parameters. if the rest of the 928 community thinks he is the greatest thing to come along since the invention of peanut butter, that's their opinion, just not mine. like I said before, if he had run the original auction to its end, I would have been there and probably would have participated in his other auctions as well, but because of the first auction's withdrawal and re-list, it put a bad taste in my mouth. as for the eBay rules, they are guidelines to help you with the auction process, but I will ask you this..... if you went to Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale (for me that would involve airfare, hotel, rental car, letter of credit, etc) to purchase a specific car-----and then the seller pulled the car with 3 minutes of the auction's time limit-----how pissed off do you think you'd be if you invested all of that time and money only to have the car snatched from your grasp at the last minute, regardless of the selling price of the car????? think about it...... should I cut him some slack? no. he ended the auction even with my offer to end it early. then he re-listed it. nothing like consistancy........ ============

I respect your opinion while disagreeing with it. Presenting more information to clarify why my opinion is different isn't an attack, its discussing the point.
Its the nature of the beast, selling a dozen cars at the same time means maybe hundreds of emails. People make offers and then don't follow through, its a messy process that requires more than an email. Email is like a 90% reliable communications link with spam blockers etc., if its an item you really want you have to be persistent in getting that information across so the other party gets the message. Many times I have seen forum transactions go bad because the intent of the email wasn't clear. Someone offers an item, and gets two emails from different people, the first expresses interest with the sender thinking "dibs", and the second says I want it. An offer with no questions attached often trumps another offer that needs more info. The Blue Euro was listed on 8/26 and ended on 9/1, I don't see anyplace where it was relisted.

Rhjames...... you claim to be such a stand up guy who always follows the ebay rules to the letter of the law. By your own admission you broke the rules. Emailing a seller and asking to end an auction early isn't allowed and by your definition it is uncool. I think you just want to complain and probably have an alterior motive. Go cry on someone elses shoulder. Your complaints are falling flat here.

hey fabio,
next time you want to get on the bashing game, leave me out of it. I didn't e-mail him, nor did I ask him to end the auction early-----SOME ONE ELSE DID. I do not communicate with any one outside of eBay's message system, as it encourages scams and sales outside of eBay's controls. the facts are that I did not communicate with him at all. Fabio, just get the facts before you go jumping all over me or anyone else..... making assumptions as to what's going on with some one else's deal is your problem.....not mine. Scott may be a great guy, and that's ok by me. I just didn't care for the way his auction was handled, for what ever reason he had for ending it. Yes, it was his auction and he handled it the way he wanted to. I do not handle my auctions like that, but there it is. It's just an opinion. My opinion, not anybody else's opinion. I don't expect you or anyone else to agree with my opinion, or expect you to give me a ton of crap because you don't agree with me. There's enough crap on this forum to fill the Atlantic ocean.......good grief. If this is all you guys have to worry with.......again, here we go with the Rennlist crowd coming over here and asserting their values on everybody else.... Why the hell is it that when some one has a difference of opinion, this forum jumps up and down as if it's the end of the world as they know it???? I will be glad to remove myself from this pissing contest forum....again. ------------

I should correct a statement that I made in error.
he ended the auction early, even with turning down another person's offer to end it early, but then re-listed it with a buy-it-now price. it was not my offer to end it early, I did not offer, nor did I communicate with him prior to the auction's end. that's the way it is/was. nothing's changed since the last time someone brought up that this forum's participants can't be nice to each other........ I am removing myself from this silliness......again. ----------------
