Jerrytom161 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 I have been looking on E bay a lot lately for certain items for my old skool ford that i need , and it struck me that there is a lot of Rubbish on there that is either very badly described or shockingly made or repaired and i mean SHOCKINGLY !!!! , the sort of stuff that you have thrown away better !!! . Then the seller thinks that Mr old skool Ford is totally blind , cant read or plain and simply stupid into being fooled into bidding on or buying it now . They then also think if they put anything with the words “ Ford ,Rs, Mexico,Twincam,1300E, Anglia ,Cortina, Cossie , Alan Mann, BDA etc etc in the title or listing it will sell for a small fortune , whether it is related to those cars or not as the case maybe . So with all this in mind i thought i would start this thread for all osf members to put up photos or descriptions of what they think is the worst , ridiculous or funniest item they have either seen or bought on Ebay . 1
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted August 16, 2018 Moderator Report Posted August 16, 2018 I was looking at these tobacco tins today on Ebay and thought, close but no cigar!
colr6 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Posted August 16, 2018 They are so authentic ? Mk1 mex with RS 2000 stripes and mk2 RS 'flat front ' suppose they'll be made in limited numbers to inflate the price just like anything with the RS logo attached to it!!

The Mk2 has Mexico stripes if you look closely. A bit of research would have saved him the embarrassment and simply reversed the descriptions.

meXEco Posted August 18, 2018 Report Posted August 18, 2018 Most of the Escorts on ebay at the mo-overpriced and either badly finished or just wishful thinkers-absolute shite. Getting silly now.

Getting silly now. Most variants of the blue oval are increasing in value, not just the escorts. Got to agree with you though it's getting out of hand. No doubt the arse will fall out of them. 1
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted August 18, 2018 Moderator Report Posted August 18, 2018 Col gets the credit for finding this one (and getting a great screenshot of it). This is the ultimate ridiculous auction. But equally stupid are the 60 bids for it. 1
Xp197777 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Posted August 19, 2018 I remember that one col, This ones currently on eBay, I thought this wasn’t allowed
colr6 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Posted August 19, 2018 Ive reported a view, pointless exercise with eBay even when it's a blatant cloning material.
meXEco Posted August 19, 2018 Report Posted August 19, 2018 Apparently the DVLA are watching things like this and when its ready for taxing etc. they'll come along and take it away-how true or even possible this is I don't know. But yes its totally blatant and Ebay are just as guilty as the sellers and the DVLA for not stopping it.
accord83 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Posted September 2, 2018 Another interesting one, again from Clitheroe, re shelled, standard shell. no tags, a classier type of ringing kit to someone? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/escort-mk2-rs2000-rally-race/192638120779?hash=item2cda20734b:g:x2wAAOSwHj1bgsM5
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted December 31, 2018 Moderator Report Posted December 31, 2018 This popped up in my last search for replacement Mk2 lighter. I think not........
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted January 7, 2019 Moderator Report Posted January 7, 2019 I wonder if the seller realizes the irony of selling money clips to Mk1 Escort owners that have nothing left to put in it? 1

Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted January 16, 2019 Moderator Report Posted January 16, 2019 20 Grand for a rusty shell that is somehow a Mexico but would suit an RS Cosworth but no numbers and has never ever been registered to even prove it was a Mexico or allow it to get registered as any type of Escort ever again. He is not even sure what year it is. This guy has been looking at too many scam auctions on Ebay UK and thinks he can do the same. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1970-1971-Ford-Mexico-escort-mk-1-suit-rs-cosworth-NO-RESERVE/183635796068?hash=item2ac18be064:g:S8QAAOSwYo1cEN-T:rk:5:pf:0

Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted June 27, 2019 Moderator Report Posted June 27, 2019 Is Australia better than the UK in RS Tax?
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted December 11, 2019 Moderator Report Posted December 11, 2019 I currently have a thread going that relates to quality enamel keyrings and this little beauty popped up in my search for one for Escorts! Someone may need to explain to me how a skeleton sitting on the dunny fits an Escort? Totally Tasteless!
