Any of you guys seen this? Looks like Mike has made some. He's got a message in there about contacting him if you've already paid for one in the past.......... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VL-Holde...CA%3AAU%3A1123 (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VL-Holden-Advanced-Upgraded-Fuse-Rail-Auto-Light-Timed-Engine-4-x-LED-lighting-/253243901615?ssPageName=ADME%3AL%3ALCA%3AAU%3A1123)

Why is it all in third person? Wouldn’t hold my breath with any refunds still, don’t know why he mentions one hand written receipt? It’s all online, there wouldn’t be anything handwritten? I know when I ordered mine many many many years ago it was probably a direct transfer and no receipt from him. Good to see that the actual product is available again, would take some comfort in paypal/ebay providing some protection to make sure goods are actually delivered.

so is it mike or kalay selling them? sounds like it is a third person. I've sent off a request for more info on getting the ones i paid for. unfortunately i paid for them in 2012 via direct bank transfer. omnline bank statements only goi as far back as 2015 and since 2012 I've had my old uni email account closed (plus lets face it as if i can remember the old login!) ---------- Post added 09-11-17 at 21:07 ---------- oh and i dont have any CT pm's prior to 2013 either. freaking excellent. hopefully the bank can help. if it is mike i say we slam him with requests for the items. ---------- Post added 09-11-17 at 21:18 ---------- bah. the more i think about this and re-read the advert the more i think you cheeky bugger. the advert claims that he offered refunds but only 1 person took him up with what they are implying was a falsified reciept. that is sooooo far from the truth. ---------- Post added 09-11-17 at 21:22 ---------- it says you are dealing with frank and fiona however they say it is mikes ebay account? also if you look at old feedback as a seller you can see lots of fuse rail upgrades so its definately mikes account.

Well I've sent off my details, I guess I'll see what comes of it. Just needed some one like KALAY to motivate the reproduction of them.

I think Kalay has motivated his greed to resurface as he knows they will sell. This Frank (aka Mike) im guessing is wasting our time again with hocus pocus requests to send stat decs and records that are nearly UN-attainable. Even the bank dosent want to know about what happened yesterday let alone 5 years agi. Still waiting a reply from the thief's on ebay for whats rightfully owed. just getting played at the moment, and by the sounds of it so are some others.

what a wanker. yeah i have recieved no reply as of yet. and truthfully while i can see in the thread that i paid I've been back over some old bank account statements including some closed accounts and can't find anything matching around the feb 17 date. who knows could have been dad's account or paypal or anything. i recon you are right its all falsified and its actually mike selling these directly the frank stuff is so that he can claim he is unable to communicate with anyone.

I’m no expert but the way he used to write/ format his writing - the new Ebay ad seems similar.

Out of curiosity, I messaged them asking if they can ship to NZ. Short answer was yes, but the long-winded reply leaves me feeling a bit uneasy about it: "Thanks for enquiry, apologies for late reply, we have been inundated with many technical requests. A few units were sent to NZ pre 2012 as the series 2 which had 2 engine bay lights on cables with another two just on the fuserail itself. Ebay records don't go back that far re item numbers or detail feedback. We made a listing for Australia at first & also to alert buyers those that paid deposits in 2012 when the designer mike fell ill when he was a one man show. Although Mike is better we now have staff also assisting his wind turbine/solar/battery voltage regulator unit which is used in a proprietary US product in remote regions. It turns out this US product is almost exactly like the series 3 VL fuserail but configured for 48V DC with extra options for interfacing with a diesel engine start & protection relays. New efficiency was offered in series 3 to design a module that can cover all equivalent GMH models that use the same base as in Camira, VK & up to VR as well despite the fuserail having been moved to the RHS under dash. Mike has also allowed a connector to an engine bay pushbutton so you need not life the fuserail cover to turn on the engine bay lighting, there are heaps of options this offers. Back to NZ, we are intending to offer ebay listing which of course are fully 100% guaranteed by ebay including shipping costs all up :-) Since we are interested in pursuing this sooner than later, then we can include on this occasion as the first NZ order to you free of any extra fees for shipping if you were to purchase two units in current listing. This includes end to end tracking & 2 to 4 business days :-) We used to offer a "buddy pack" years ago so friends with same cars can collaborate - we might extend this later too. Easier now as we could make up a pair as both for Camira, VK or VL or VN, VP, VR etc & even mix them in the one order so if your mate also had a Holden but different model then you can share etc. Cheers Frank FL Labs Ltd"
