DoctorPan Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 That website raises an eyebrow for me. Suspious stock levels, amazing pricing and the fact that all their social media links are for the website themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 As Wrenneire has said, "if it looks to good to be true, it probably is". In my previous life as a collector of Austrian 009, I got stung a couple of times, in one case buying a locomotive whose motor was banjaxed, and beyond repair...... Less than €50 for an 071 or 201 looks - - - strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would a spray tan parlour in Fresno California be selling Murphy Models stuff anyway. Their contact details also look suspicious.

Broithe Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I have agents in the Fresno area, if I could find a physical location I was going to get them to have an actual look, but I can't. And the website seems to have come into existence fairly recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgeconna Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 There seems to be a proliferation of these kind of sites popping up everywhere, They will ship out to you but it will be a pair a shitty sunglassea or Scarf for a Dollar so they have a record of posting and your then snookered getting your money back. Facebook is the same, Be very aware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertRoche Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Many of the listing on this site appear to be lifted directly off eBay pages from other sellers. Example: this listing title is slightly different, but many are the exact wording - note how it states free postage in the US - https://por.slevin-music.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2_3_12_48&products_id=28503 https://www.ebay.ie/itm/ALASKA-RAILROAD-BALDWIN-VO-1000-LOCOMOTIVE-W-DCC-LOKSOUND-FREE-SHIP-IN-U-S/233174438999?hash=item364a479457:g:Y1AAAOSwawpXveFH Edited May 16, 2020 by RobertRoche 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midland Man Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 You means it's now a scam.They have seen the growth in people Irish buying stock and thought we can scan one or two of those lads. Plus the second hand stuff uses pics of eBay. It's way to good to be true.

A reverse picture search, to see if it's been used elsewhere before, is often a useful guide to the possible reality of the situation. I have a neighbour who has run a series of scam businesses. The last one was a building/landscaping operation, featuring many pictures of 'his work'. I suspect that few really were, one was in Russia, in a small town in the Ural Mountains - a long way home for your tea. A picture of the amazingly neat turf-laying job that he had done on someone's new lawn was actually a picture of artificial grass from an online catalogue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
