Well, he has an MN block on epay. Don't everyone jump at once.....

It gets worse as he also claims the hokey MN block belongs w/ the cowl section and tags he's peddling @ the below link.
Lots more foolishness available in his other auctions too including a couple homemade DZ blocks.

----No return, no refund! Why am I not surprised???......Bill S

just FYI I'm not a part of this community but stumbled across this thread about Buddy and am ashamed to say I know this person. He has scammed members of my family in Jackson and just passing along current info. His last residence burned to the ground under suspicious circumstances.. i.e. he just moved a heavily insured vintage vette into the garage that night. Hmmm..

My God! How do people like this fall asleep at night. Making a living out of screwing other people routinely is just incomprehensible to me. His day will come. Just don't understand how they can put on a smile every day.

He has 100% positive feedback, go figure. Ebay just wants their money, they even threatened to shut down my account for giving my contact info to someone, and this guy is still selling? Give me an f%*$ing break!

Paul

How did you get his photo? How do you know him? How has he scammed you?

Someone should notify the cops.They love this kind of fraud and usually get results.A friend of mine lost his Mersedes to a fire.Real honest guy who never had any major insurance claims before.The cops were all over him for months and treated him like a big time convict.

It's not only car parts that will get you burned on fleabay. I am an avid guitar collector and have been playing since I was 10 years old. I sold a Gibson Les Paul on there for 2k and the buyer said it wasn't in mint condition and filed a claim on me. He then provided a return UPS number and they instantly took the money out of my account. When the guitar arrived, it wasn't the 2k LP I sold him but a 100.00 piece of crap. Thank God it wasn't one of my rare guitars. After days of phone calls and all that, I finally just gave up. I will never, and haven't sold anything on there since. There are many of these people on there, they should be put in jail.

I've sold vintage model car kits on eBay and run into a-holes who take parts and claim the kits are incomplete. Even model car buyers can be s h i t t y.

I don't have anything much to add, other than I have been scratching my head for a few days ever since the picture was posted. I was certain I had seen those three faces, but I couldn't remember where. I still may be wrong, but it dawned on me today that it was at the Pigeon Forge Rod Run in TN last spring. One of the jokers that offered to buy my car if I was ever willing to sell it, and he handed me a business card. I threw it away, but I do remember it was some sort of real estate investment company. My memory isn't so good, we were deep into my homebrew by then.

Ebay has zero concern for sellers. My most recent burn was an electrical part I sent to a buyer in California. My part was described as nearly new, plugged in once but found it was wrong for the application(parts department had ordered it for the wrong car); the buyer requested a refund because he said the part was not new, even though my description clearly stated that the package was opened & the part had been plugged in (btw, it was in perfect condition & functioned perfectly). I agreed to refund, which they issued to him immediately. I stopped the mal carrier when I got my package back from the buyer, because the box weighed nothing & felt empty, even though it was carefully sealed. The USPS mail carrier watched as I opened the box in front of him, it was empty. He signed a written statement to the effect that the packaging was undamaged, it did not leave his sight after handing it to me, and was indeed just an empty box. After sending Ebay documentation, photos & the signed statement from mail carrier, & over 3 hours on the phone, the manager at Ebay told me "tough luck" and that he didn't really care, the buyer would get to keep his full refund & my part.

Apparently this Buddy Hill has been doing this for a LONG time.....the thread below is from January of 2009.

https://www.racingjunk.com/forums/sh...-ENGINE-BLOCKS

A member here sent Albert Hill this thread. I received these 2 messages from him today, a year later since this has happened.

What a sad POS. Anyone who needs that many ebay aliases is probably more than a little worried about his reputation spreading.

Hipocratic? isn't that an oath a doctor would take?

The only "crooks" are the guys he buys from, and the guys he sells to. Interesting concept.

10,000 blocks is a block a day for over 27 years including weekends and holidays.


Jason

LOL... he sounds like a joy to do business with.

Cruising some eBay parts, I just realized it's scammer Buddy Hill's stuff!
His feedback seems to indicate he's been fooling everyone w/ this account so far but like most of these idiots, it's just a matter of time until he messes up the wrong dude.
Here's a link to his current crop of restamp fakes and trickery including no less than 4x DZ blocks also '70 L78 Camaro and LS6 blocks, a CRW rear plus bogus 499 Dizzy and more...

Best keep a closer watch on this azzhole and his antics.

"Sold as is no warranty no guarantee no return no refund sale final"

Seems like he's covered.

I'm put off of either buying or selling to anyone with a Tennessee address, all because of this one a hole.

ebay doesnt want to put cases on 50 year old auto parts.

Unfortunately Angola IN also.

Yeah, that sorta goes without saying.....

He's listing another another user name again.

https://www.ebay.com/sch/hla2019/m.h...p2047675.l2562

Sounds like a guy in Pa that screwed me on a carb. Sucks.

I dont know how he gets away with this.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Camaro...QAAOSwutNarVF7

Yep heres a $5000 restamp BV rear.

Here's a restamp 1969 Camaro 396/375hp block with VIN

Has any member here who lives in the area ever been by his place to take a look at all the "rare" parts he has?

Paul

70 L78 Camaro
 

Glad some members on NastyZ informed me about this discussion for eBay seller 1bud_auto or aka.. Al. I had interest in buying the 70 L78 Camaro he has, or what's left of it. Say's he has original block for the car too, which sounds doubtful based on this discussion.

L78 cowl tag $2500,

Bare L78 block $5000,

He has a cowl tag for a 72 Chevelle convertible with 19 paint code listed for sale and black wasn't even an available color on a Chevelle in 1972. Oops...

Im fairly new to the registry. You guys are the best when it comes to this stuff! I never realized how much fraud there is out there and its a real shame. EBAY should be held accountable for fraudulent info and parts as well as the people selling. Im stunned as to how this stuff "looks" original but isn't. Crazy amounts of money being exchanged and all the feedback is positive. blah.

Thanks to all

Same guy? WTF did he do to this poor distributor, lol.

pneumatic welding de-scaler...thats what it the metal looks like when you use one to knock off flux from a stick welder...ive seen it...

i have one..if i can find it..i will post a pic..they are brutal..lol..

Needle scaler like marxjunk says but that may have been done to make up for whatever happened just before the "A" stamp. Looks like a 3 got misplaced?

Mark that sounds like what we call a needle gun down here?

yep..thats the critter
