There is a Shell oil can on Ebay for sale buy _lacclairespares_ (http://feedback.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=lacclairespares&ii d=4545179079&frm=284) . I ordered and paid for this item and never received it. He refused to either refund my money or send the item. I would not buy from this guy.

This guy seems to be willing to cheat everybody he can. There have been many negative comments about him on the list.

It seem to me to be time to have someone make a PERSONAL VISIT TO THIS GUY AS HE IS CHEATING MANY PEOPLE. He is using EBAY in many strange ways. Note his style of advertising. He retains the right to sell locally and uses it to pull adds off if the price seems not to his liking. He tried to cheat me but fortunately I did not fall for it. Sandy Sanders

Why anyone would spend $125 on a suspect vendor for an oil can of dubious virtue is an excellent question. Especially since a simple Ebay search in the UK sourced a Duckhams can at a very reasonable price...and an "original" 1930s Morris can at a bit pricey 24 Pounds...but it has the original bracket. _Peter

Just last week I placed a bid of $20 on a "like new" Blower Manual and when the auction was close to finished, and I the only bidder and winning at $9.95, the item was withdrawn - "sold locally", I was told. Based on the string below I checked out lacclairespares list of items and I discovered it was the same vendor being discussed. The Blower Manual is available again!

On a similar Ebay topic, you often see BSW ( British Standard Whitworth) tap and die kits offered for sale as being "suitable for maintaining MGs of various models and other British cars". This is not true. BSW taps and dies are almost useless for our cars. The only BSW bolt ( that I know of ) on a T type is the generator adjusting top bolt. BSF ( British Standard Fine ) taps and dies are correct. A set of BSW taps and dies just sold on Ebay for about $225.00 US$, I hope the buyer was not mis-lead by the description. I informed the sellor of the incorrect description but got no response and no clarification on the Ebay item before it closed. Regards, Bob Grunau Another Lacclaire victim.

I note that lacclairespares has NINE negatives since changing names in '04. I wonder what name he was using previously? All of you who have been cheated by this yo yo needs to get onto eBay. They WILL take him off...... Best regards, Ray "There are no easy answers in this case m'lud."
