He's made no sales in 2 1/2 months?  Is he still trying to claim that it's been since June 1st?  I can prove that's a lie by my own paperwork.  There were a few other people that I know paid around the same time. 
Much more recently he left this feedback "Great guy, fast pay A+++++++++ ebayer" about someone just 10 days ago.   So 10 days = 75 days now, but you can still trust what he says.  I'm just twisting things again.

It is so amazing that he can still pretend to be a victim in all this.  Who on earth does he think he's fooling???

Well what scares me is I think he actaully believes himself , which  is a classic  symptom of a pathological liar . My sister is one and I also work with one so I should know

Shill bidding that eBay warned him about. Without seeing the other auctions he's run, it almost makes one wonder if anyone actually bid on those or if it was just good old Bob bidding up his own auction.

From what we've seen, he's one heck of a sales guy - smooth talker and ready to take your hard earned $$$. Operators are standing by now - oh wait, he fired his whole staff (cleaned house), no he didn't (told his staff to get on the builds), yes he did (one man show with 2 good legs).....even he can't decide if he's cleaned house or not!!

I do understand where you're coming from TAWidow and I hope you get every last cent from this guy.

Latest " General Email" fron BAB/PP:


Customers may only inspect their own cars when they visit, and only photos of theirs.  We have retained an attorney!  This is our policy now.  We will not be able to share updates, only with each individual.  I cannot put a lot of stuff in my general emails anymore, shared info either.  the liability is too great we are informed.  Any update request will come within 72 hours.  Unannounced visitors will not happen.  We lost at least one full day’s work last week alone.  This is going to keep causing less and less work to get done.  4 current customers last week alone with 3 walk-ins, potential customers that wanted to see my shops and find out what is going on on the internet.  Customers are sending photos that they are mixing up cars.  I had Mr. Smith Friday who got pictures that were supposed to be his car, and when we showed him his car, it’s 3-4 weeks from completion.  What someone sent him was a car 6 months from finish.  Now he’s pissed he wasted a trip and blessed me out on the phone for nothing. So I had to spend hours to repair our relationship instead of working on everyone’s cars.  His build is already 16 months old, I have promised to finish in 3 weeks.  We’ll let him send everyone his own photos.

 
Thanks
 
Bob

Just out of curiousity, what policy number is this? Like 7 or 8 at least?

Wouldn't a company who's trying to make good on a bad rep want to get the word out that they're changing their ways?

Really? I thought Bob was the one emailing out updates.

Didn't this yahoo clean house, fire all his "staff" and been trying to build/finish cars all himself??? Or did I miss something?

Hey Flounder, wasn't your car supposed to be 3-4 weeks from being complete?  In Bob's estimation that is....

Wow, it's been almost 2 weeks since they pulled BAB/PP ads and no re-posts! They must have hit him with a "stay off our site for 30-60 day" fine.............good for Ebay!
