hi all, ive just started to browse the US craiglsist site and have come accross a seller called christopher ferrario or something like that. he has no end of display stuff for sale and was wondering if anyone has heard of him, bought from him or has any feedback on whether to use him or to avoid. Im not sure if he is a collector or dealer? any advice would be appreciated before I start communicating with him too much if he is one to avoid.

Refer to the thread : http://www.o-review.com/portal_detail.asp?ID=9110

Christopher (Chris) Ferrario used to be Cferr on O-review and is Grandcheesma on ebay ...

ah, grandcheesma, his email address is grandcheesepa-same guy? thanks ill have a read of the thread.

Yep, I think

had a quick scan over the thread, sounds like one to miss then, that guy had tonnes of vintage stuff he was selling on ebay last year and i nearly bought several-glad i didnt now.

unfortunately he may be one of the oakleypilots for the bootcamp.

well being in the uk i couldnt enter, but for you guys that have im a bit gutted for you if he gets a place, but equally, everyone must enjoy the day if given a spot, regardless of who thinks someone else should or shouldnt be there.

Screw anyone over here and though shall be shunned!

he won't be at bootcamp...

Regardless of if he's there or not, we still plan on having a great time if chosen! Not gonna let one bad, rotted, dirty, stinking, revolting, sour, offensive, decomposing...

Sorry, what was I saying?

im getting the vibe you guys REALLY dont like him! ill keep my money then and source elsewhere.

It's more of a princple thing. His stuff is legit and there wouldn't be any hangups, but the prices are just insane, and the less we buy, the less likely he will bother in the future. It's like refusing to buy fur even if the animal's already dead. Not partaking will hopefully influence future trends.

point taken-he hasnt given me any prices yet, but now i know what to expect.

$60 double display stand, $100 Half Jacket Lens racks, you get the idea.

you are s*&%$ng me-sod that for a game of conkers-he can keep it!

$100 Half Jacket Lens racks,

$250.00 is what he wanted to charge me over a year ago.

no wonder he has so much stuff charging that-he cant get rid of it!

Ah, originally it was 'trade for something in the wishlist' and at minimum all he had were glasses. I had a dozen of them and gave them away for $5 shipping, so that ended that.

Flipp I saw the exact same ad and posted a thread about it, notorious ebayers, as I almost sent him some cash for display items...

jees.....theres charging slightly above value for rarity and theres ripping people off-that sucks.

unfortunately he may be one of the oakleypilots for the bootcamp.

I highly doubt it. His entry is probably the weakest out of the hundreds on there. His answers are crap and his photos are even worse. He couldn't even bother to rotate them before uploading them. Now, if Oakley was looking for the Top 50 scalpers he'd be there for sure.

dustin, for sure, francois put me onto the thread for me to read...not good.
