another ebay scumbag rmarc2007

[The Penguin]

I don't recall who I bought them from - but the "tubbies" I bought even have Blowsion's name molded into them.

I think his name was Dave and he was from Michigan.

They were advertised as Bloswion Tubbies when I bought them. Only after I got them I found out they are fakes.

This guy is Robin Marc and lives in Quebec

 

[turbohatch3]

he kept telling me he sent them, he even said he would send another set, and if they both showed up to send one set back......... Ha! yeah right

 

[OCD Solutions]

After 34 days he even told me that he was "considering stopping selling on ebay, is just too hard. I send small parcel air, no tracking is not my fault problem with shipping."

Not his fault? I paid $30 shipping and handling for Expresspost Delivery which is 3-5 business days with tracking. Oh right! You would have to actually ship them first to get a tracking number.

What a P.O.S. It felt wrong ordering from him even but when Blowsion was out of stock I didn't see many other options.

 

[turbohatch3]

yep i could tell i was gonna have problems with him from the get go.

Just as an FYI . . . .

According to their literature, Blowsion hold US Patent # 60/509.114 on Tubbie Sponsons

Kinda indicates a "rip off" on some level . . . . IMO

Dont think they actually hold a patent, it was listed as Patent Pending... But, WCF, MacRacing, TBM are all making and marketing openly front sponsons that are of similar design...........

regardless, this guy seams to be ripping people off.........

 

[gostroker]

I'm not sure here but is he actually selling knock-offs or is he "reselling" Blowsion products?

His prices are way too cheap to be real products so I think he bought some legit products, made molds and then sold off the originals. He then presold knock-offs that he was never able to produce or deliver, sound about right?

I hate people who copy chit and try to scam people:bs2: I'm glad I found these boards so I can get more informed

What does that really mean? (patent pending) is it or isn't it patended?
Is there a difference between all of those front sponsons and are they all copying each other!:banghead:

 

[turbohatch3]

patents take several months to draw up after being applied for. so patent pending means that a patent is being drafted.

 

[Big Kahuna]

During the Patent Pending process, a patent cannot be applied for if the product is the same design, kind of like protection..... if for one reason or another the product does not get patented then it is fair game for the competition.

Another name to beware!!

Marc also goes by "rapido" on the other Newsgroup.. If you buy from him, ask for a Blowsion discount.. LOL.

Good find. He was even posting his own ebay sales and posing as a potential buyer to drum up business.

I love the part where people were bashing the sales prices and shipping costs right back at him.

I still haven't got my money back yet. How long does Paypal wait before making a decision or do they need to recover monies from him for me to get mine?

 

[Matt_E]

do they need to recover monies from him for me to get mine?

Yes. :biggthumpup:

When in doubt, always pay paypal with Credit Card.

Absolutely, and I did. I just want to wait for Paypal to come to a resolution before I go through Mastercard.

I really wanted to get the guy off ebay more than anything.

 

[turbohatch3]

he is no longer with ebay. it took ten days after i escalated my claim for me to receive a refund
