[QUOTE=madrx3boy;3074977]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: As long as you pay with PayPal and follow their policies - your covered. Anyhow, why give any dollars to someone that has blatantly profited off so many people here. I know where my money would be going (Kalay) if I was interested in this type of part. Cheers, David

Like WOW I know about this ! This is just like the soapie drama is just my thing to find out all about it Found out last time I was back my grandfather put lots of money into car plug mains inverters supposedly for shares into buys with Solartronics International Limited owned by Stephen Francis Wroblewski with his partner Soren Aarskov anyone know the 'MyPower' and guess who his engineer designer was ! yeah right the Michael Erazm Massen all on directorship papers from 1991 who supposedly designed these commodore replacements here. If this is the guy then he was 49 in 1998 writing to my grandfather to get into business with his malaysian company JRC run by Rosli Mustafa when he was in eastern malaysia around 1992 and 1995 remote power projects. Mustafa & Mike sent my grandad a memo when they did a system in Mendulong 1998. Massen has a buried web site about controllers and visits to that place sabah he designed for malaysian government for Wroblewski and Aarskov http://members.iinet.net.au/~erazmus/Power/pleased.jpg his buried website looks like this hasnt changed at all so he dropped it or sold it - anyone know more please ? http://members.iinet.net.au/~erazmus/Power/ so that makes Massen about 68 today if my math is right. Last memo my grandad wrote says Massen moved to east USA I think Boston area and might have tutored electrical at MIT 1999 and is a US citizen too that as well as british and polish as well just like Wroblewski who is polish too Aarskov is Danish. I think Wroblewski in Hong Kong. Sent a PM from here msgs to Massen and not got any reply and sent email to as well and still not got any reply ([email removed] and [email removed] both no reply). Saw a controller board design in USA around minnesota for a trike designer Emillio Zapata farm that looks suspiciously like the commodore picture on his last ebay advert. Has anyone here got one, I want to see it please ? My brother is into stationary engine power generation heat recycling and has a picture from a proposal I will get and add so want to find out. I want to track this down and should be real easy. Is anyone here looking at micro-grid solar and wind with Homer software this seems to be where Massen has his main stuff if its the same guy in USA, has anyone seen him here in person - I guess he is bald by now anyways since he's getting onto 70 ? Both my maternal grandparents had dementia or alzheimers and did my paternal grandfather so I know this all too very well and know the signs to look for. Quotes of writing of Massen i have seen here on this site shows me he's in line for dementia big time and by now must be full on and should be in a nursing home or sheltered workshop (mens shed with attached granny flat?) like my grandad who stayed wood working up to the end when he didnt know who I was. Want to track this down. Arent dementia cases registered federal with centerlink so we can find who his carer is then find out details whos who if his designs were sold or used or registered like artworks ? Hey just found this too busy busy the truth is out there, love this for a dosier :-) http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/si...0&query=Massen (http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/AATA/1991/245.html?stem=0&synonyms=0&query=Massen) Do people still do RB30 engine shows I want one for my SL Merc if its all cracked up to get big HP easy cheap few people in Mass doing this and shows too

Any updates from anyone.? Corrospondence has stopped with buyer. So i have done another buy it now to see what happens next. Last time he was quick to reply when i did this. Then he canceled my order.

Haven't heard a thing back!

no correspondence at all on my end

Nope nothing here either. Sent through all the **** they wanted numerous times and haven't had a reply in over a week now. The replies I have got seem like I'm a child being dictated to, wouldn't talk to me on the phone either as apparently that isn't the way to sort stuff out.... Looks like he's either sent a couple of rails out going off the ebay feedback or his "mates" are trying to make it all look legit. Going to print everything off and take it further I think

Ive filed with ebay that item not received. Ive also clicked buy it now and will be happy to leave them feedback tomorrow if not rectified. I dont care if its john or jill or the magic mike behind the sales. This has struck a cord again now. Not happy JAN

Got some good news! I bit the bullet and decided to order one from the eBay listing. Placed the order on Sunday (19th Nov), and received it this morning (23rd Nov) in Auckland NZ. They kindly put it on Intl Express post, and included a few extra terminals/connectors as well. They let me know of a possible mistake on the board - the vertical mounting bits are just 'tacked' on during assembly/testing, to allow them to reposition etc if necessary - they said they may have forgotten to fully join it before sending it off. Howevery they also gave me some detailed instructions on how to fix it (which I will need to do). Now for the process of installing it (I'm no electrical guru!) cheers Sam Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Got over waiting and being put backwards and forth between fake people. Left negative feedback as i never received my item and there deception of lies to ebay became too much. Id suggest if you have been played you step up to the plate and we shut the sales down. No ones getting anything thats owed too them.

Signs of dementia he sends to one guy but not another and messes up making it - hmmm, nursing home workshop or maybe an aged caretaker for a block of flats moonlighting ? I just messaged the seller and got reply in only 10 mins, so he is up at 4am in Perth or really overseas ? and its Frank - Hmmm I've heard that is used for Francis so it might be Stephen Wroblewski's middle name or him in person ! He said shipments slowed to 5 business days last week due to paypal delaying release for security as people complained. He did say all shipments given tracking number "in anticipation" within 1 business day. Did you get any tracking number or nothing when did you pay and full price too ? Maybe he just doesnt like you LoL or it will turn up when you don't expect it to lets hope its not an old chico roll but, you get the guarantee for sure ? "Frank" also wrote more models coming out like for VN and different layouts, can't see this being a one man show because if the design works and has a market it will attract opportunists to get in on it, he ignored me though. So you don't know if its a mug or someone highly placed, so play it cool yeah ) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Wish we all had a rail to show for our cash. I'm absolutely sick of their games. Amazingly today I got a long winded reply from this Fiona today after 2 weeks of nothing after hitting buy it now and then my order being cancelled. Seems they can't actually understand taking people's money for something and then not supplying it is actually theft

Yeah I saw that too, Im interested in this, set up app to watch it for me and it happened earlyish sunday too around noon WA time ! Big surprise its very hard to change the feedback ratings it tightened up a lot years ago and very odd when australian ebay offices complaints closed so must have been handed down from head office USA. So if the "designer" is a US citizen and his mates are heavier hitters then we expect then it fits as I said - so go figure. As well I find it odd nothing else being sold by same person or group, no completed listings other than this ONE product for ages as if they don't need to try to sell anything else might mean they don't need the dosh at all and doing some marketing experiment which also fits. My guess is they have plenty of dollars. That fits too its what is common in USA too and using australia as more or less isolated test case of small western market smaller than most US states. Sales stalled anyway, my guess is now is best good time to push all refund product claims hard and put it to the test. I mean to say why not ask for refunds. If some say its not worth it then maybe they don't want you bringing better claims pushing their bad claims aside. I want to know what reason was given for taking the feedback off ? ---------- Post added 27-11-17 at 13:08 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by madrx3boy [View Post] Got some good news!

Thats pretty quick service not cheap intl but, Is that it ? no survey form like marketing feedback page ? More I read about this its some US mob looking to running marketing experiment and very narrow one cheap by US monies too hired local tech trained them that got the intellectual property from the "designer" since he's at the age of dementia. Can be fun trying to work out why people do things like this, sherlock holmes hat on :-) How did they get it has anyone contacted the "designer" is he lucid on top of things ?

Frank hasn't replied to me in regards to the rail i bought. my rail has been sent for final production. a couple of weeks away guys

Hey another listing how do we know this is not the same guy or working with Frank-Mike to collar the market not competing with each other, coincidences ? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/322911334533 Then there was this one from same seller a week back but, hey buyer and seller not leaving feedback, I know some dont but im keeping an eye on both of them :-) https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/322889425661 Markets getting flooded maybe everyone should wait buying when the market crashes, cheap chips its only plastic and metal after all. Anyone want to ask anyone for open source and open it up a bit ?

Anyone want to ask anyone for open source and open it up a bit ? Be nice if my mail box was flooded with the 3x rails I'm still owed from Mike......

that 2nd one has only 13 fuses. not enough to run a VL mine has 20, gives you the factory 17, and an extra 3. my units will be here shortly. FYI, his ad is wrong, he is stating 40 amps per circuit? he is lying out of his arse. manufactrers don't rate them that high. btw, my fuse rail after i get some $'s will be open source also in the future (after i recoupirate some $'s) be available to be custom made, you want a bank of 5? you want something different? you can get it (price will be slightly higher though)

I read it differently KALAY says his multi module layer 40 amps but highest fuse holders are what like 35 or 30 thats just marketing hype everyone does it but yeah sure you can say the same thing its just copper I guess ? I'm really interested in open source so you will publish the artwork silk screen so anyone can make it themselves what cad software would that use like same as 3D printer ? That would be good my brother in states could use that for sure :-) I read you have better quality holders like you have a picture ?

julia those rails you linked to on ebay are a bloke named steve from w.a. well known in the vl scene definately not mike Kalay happy to contribute to reinbursing your outlay in exchange for rails haha
