Attn Any Reputable (and Possibly Foolish/self Mutilating) Brokers

Iron Chef, how often do you encounter people as silly as this? Do people do ANY research at all before importing a car?

[Mr Eps]

kristian's a busy man.

i will field this question.

no.

[Iron Chef]

Research? Pfft, nah, just email Iron Chef, he will answer any questions that would've taken me 30 seconds to find out if I only Googled first lol

can you import me a 22b?

[Mr Eps]

ironchef. my friend has a VL commodore..

i've bought a 1992 Late build cefiro with an Rb25DET

but someone tells me i can't import it or something to do with the thing you have to do to install the babyseat holders.

can you makes things better me?

ahaha

on a lighter note... spoke to that guy again earlier today... luckilly for him... he's spoken to a reputable car dealer here in Perth... who i won't name...

(because if i do disclose that name - then everything gets linked up as to who did what and when bla bla bla)

but a very reputable dealer in perth has agreed to handle all brokerage, compliance... importation and other dealings regarding these cars..

so if that company is reading this - you might be able to work out who you are and who you've helped... and with any luck - know exactly how much bacon you've saved for the client in question... my hat goes off to you guys!

that said - guy was telling me this really weird other parts to his events after i asked a few questions

....i asked him if he wouldn't mind telling me how much FOB the cars were

he said - sure i'd love to tell you but i don't have a clue myself... the cars were imported thru a mate that lives in japan (hence why they thought they could do a personal import)

the "mate" has bought the three cars... and has given them to the guy... and said "you sell these in australia, make the profit... after you've sold them... i'll tell you how much i paid... and invoice you for what i paid"

so this can go one of two ways

either this person is a pathological liar who cannot tell the truth to me... (which i personally read his body language as a fibber IMO)

or

someone that lives in Japan is possibly taking someone in australia for a bit of a ride... because that sounds to me like... a very non-beleivable story...

can you import me a 22b?

Yes, but I will require an upfront deposit of $50K wired to an account in Nigeria...

[La Bomba]

Yes, but I will require an upfront deposit of $50K wired to an account in Nigeria...

Thats quite a hefty sum.

[Import Monster]

Yes, but I will require an upfront deposit of $50K wired to an account in Nigeria...

I hear Nigeria is nice this time of year.

[Mr Eps]

don't they have the vuvuzuela things over there?

[Iron Chef]

Thats quite a hefty sum.

But in exchange, you will receive the proceeds of a distant relative's estate from Nigeria, totalling $14.7 million US....

What mail server do you run at your shop?

key words in the spam filter?

btw ftw etc...

lots of TLA's.

Or maybe something like spam-assasin could do it? dunno, havent played with it but have heard it is decent for free client side filtering.
