DIY import package

[cyber_scriber]

Has anyone heard of, used, or or have any opinions on this:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mitsubishi-L...3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:1|39:1|240:1318

On first appearances, I suspected that it may be dodgy or gimmicky but with a low outlay of only $20 and a 100% positive feeback score on over 1,200 comments, it might be credible.

Any thoughts?

All well and good until something goes wrong, at which point people who import themselves have no idea and no experience...

When it all goes ok, it's great, when it goes wrong, it's a total nightmare.

Threads like this one pop up every week...

Go with Kristian, he is 11/10 on the awesomeness scale

I would be really hesitant about this for many reasons. The main reason is you have far more than the $20 to lose if the faeces hits the fan. Worst case would be buying a car and it gets knocked back for compliance..... then what.. he'll give you your $20 back? Sounds like a lot of support he is suggesting you'll receive for a measly sum of $20.

The feedback people have left is interesting. All of the 'buyers' left feedback within a month of 'buying' his information. I'm not sure how you can leave feedback within in a month when the process takes much longer.

Personally, I'd go with a broker. That way, if the defication is levitating towards the ceiling mounted wind maker, you know whose door to knock on aswell.

Yes......... brokers are dearer than $20. The good thing is, they all have reputations (good and bad) that are easily found with a little research.

Like Brad, I recommend Kristian too, and he hasn't even slept at my house (PM'ing my bank details now)

Now if only Kristian was heading to Japan soon, he may of been able to hand pick one.................. oh he is!

Haha, I've told you a thousand times Darren, it doesn't matter how many cars you buy off me, I'm not coming over to spoon, ok??

Positive feedback would mean the book arrived on time, not that the information it contained is any good

I must point out that I don't know who the writer is, but I have my suspicions on how he'd make money out of this caper, and it's not from sales of the book

anything like this on ebay is dodgy just someone trying to make money for them selves

...if the defication is levitating towards the ceiling mounted wind maker...

That's an awesome quote!

Yeah don't do it.

Presumably you're talking about an under the table kick back from the relevant contacts that the book refers the punters to?

 

[Kristian]

Yes, that's what I'm referring to, it's basic common sense.

If someone else is selling a service at $1000, why would someone else sell that same information for $20? No one in the industry would be stupid enough to offer that information unless they're making money from it in other ways.

Maybe I should buy the book myself and have a look...

then pin the idiots behind it to the wall.. they would probably have RAWS numbers..
