fg marder i bought on ebay ripoff

[foggy]

hi guys I've been gone a while buy I'm back on the scene now.
i bought a fg marder on ebay a couple of months ago as a artr.
cool i thought just needs radio gear but i was wrong way wrong....
the chassis was bent badly the engine was damaged and the diffs were totalled.

so i ended up selling it a spares or repair i made a large loss.
so if anyone buy's from ebay try before you buy.....

Sorry to hear that. You should have lodged a protest against the seller as soon as you opened the box.

No offense but PAYPAL does not really help. I bought an LST a few years back and it was TOAST. The pics I got were either outdated ornot the truck.It hadno electronics and the engine was fried. Luckily I was able to get it back up with a LARGEamount of cash.Icould have gotten an LST2 RTR used... I filed a complaint with PAYPAL. I agreed with the pictures sent did not choose the guarantee...

PAYPAL SUCKS..

Sorry bout your loss.I prefer to buy upfront even if it used unless its a trusted person.

With e-bay and used RC it's like a crap shoot. Probably better odds in Vegas. Craigslist is good since you can see, touch, and play before you buy!

Sorry about your loss bud. I got hosed on a LST once on e-bay too.

ebay had been a nightmare for me recently.
savage -- shot to bits
fg marder -- knacked
tamiya drifter -- loads a parts missing
ko propo esprit -- no manual it's a pain to program or even just reset without one.

and as for the tattoo junk I've bought from china............. say no more!

Ouch... Well I hope your luck improves!
