Gr8nes has been banned, and if anyone suspects he comes back on with a new Nickname let me or another Moderator know. And guys, this is what the trader rating system is for. It's only early days so not everyone will have a rating, but if we continue to use it, in the future it will provide some sort of assurance when you are about to fork over your money.

Without mentioning the name of where he works, its for a hi fi store in campise. I knew that guy was full of **** from the get go, but i didn't actually believe anyone would be stupid enough to buy from him and i had no proof. But looks like Rob did, and sorted him out rather quickly. Well done.

LOL I thought he just had too much money, talking of GTR's and imported custom stroker cranks for RB30's and the like. So it turns out he was a **** talker anyway? figures.

Nice work gettin rid of da scum sirgeo! In the future maybe in regards to all sales, the selling party will be required by new forum rules to provide a home contact number (not mobile) and drivers licence number or some other method which can be verrified to the buyer through email or a PM. Maybe calaisturbo.com.au could get one of those secure trading companies to post there banner on the site.?

he probly had plans to rip monsters twin turbo setup off him somehow thats why he kept pestering him to swap for his rb26. its COD or nothing for me even if its a very tempting item.

Why don't a couple of calais turbo guys in conjunction with the Skyline guys take a trip to Campsie Hi Fi and politely ask the guy to return his money....The guy offered a reward for the return of his money, I would but knowing my luck GR8NES is 6'4 samoan and me being a skinny white guy isn't going to incite much fear, oh well.

Update: Thanks to a tip off from a user "Mr_Rb" was found to be another username GR8NES was using. So guys just a warning please do some research when paying allot of money for an item, it will save allot of hassles later on. If you are skeptical do a search on the user and see if they've sold anything before (or check their Trader Rating) and ask the buyers if they were happy with them. Regards.

I know the sticky post has been closed for no more further response so moderators, I apologise if Im not allowed to post this but I too used to get emails from Jordon as I was once interested in a T4 he had for sale. He kept emailing me asking me if I wanted it and then after I said no, he cracked the ****s but continued to email me (alongside with hundreds of other people) of things he had for sale This is where he works www.campsiehifi.com.au (http://www.campsiehifi.com.au) There used to be a picture of him here but now all staff pictures have been removed (his suggestion I bet) http://www.campsiehifi.com.au/index...499895293a1f7c4 (http://www.campsiehifi.com.au/index.php?apg=aboutus&PHPSESSID=c607a75957af8e386499895293a1f7c4) I know I probably shouldnt be posting up this information, in particular the url of his work, but for someone to do what he has been doing, I feel they should be able to contact him. ([email removed]) Cheers
