Yeah that's him. I've done plenty of Ebay business with him and going to be buying more as he cleans house in the next few weeks.

Do you find him to be an honest person?
I have just won an item of his which had been relisted and the same guy that won it last time bid it right up again
here is a link to the first auction
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 20194&rd=1

here is the second
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 58006&rd=1

I don't know what you guys think but it does seem like the other bidder is only there to push up the price[}:)]

Sure looks strange...
It would be interesting to know who this "johnnagle1" is
- let's keep a lookout to see if he keeps on bidding for Triumph stuff, or if he just disappears now after this...

But on the other hand:
Why would <u>anyone</u> bid more than the $35 the needle bearing kit would cost directly from the source;
Ted Schumacher in Ohio!?! And for a second hand kit to that...

And as a service, so you guys don't have to ask:
E-mail: tedtsimx@bright.net
URL: http://www.tsimportedautomotive.com
Address: 108 S. Jefferson St.
Pandora, Ohio, USA 45877
Fax: Int. plus 1 -4193843272 (24 Hrs.)
Phone: Int. plus 1 -4193843022
NFI etc, just a satisfied customer...

One Steven asked Brad in the last of the auctions above about the bearing kit with ability to adjust camber and castor as well as being a strut top bearing: It's most probably the Australian K-MAC kit he's asking about: http://www.k-mac.com.au Current price is 465 US dollars for a kit, plus shipping. <u>I</u> think it's a nice addition to any TR8 or a TR7... If anyone on this board knows Steven, could you pass this on please.

Sure makes you wonder??? Ebay does get strange. I have the kit from Ted but never got around to the install.

He is perfectly fine to deal with. The most honest, consistant, and patient(in my case) Ebayer out there. I don't know what the running up the price thing is though..... I don't think it's him. I know for sure he just wants out and will throw that crap for sale away if no one bids on it.

I have purchased from him several times in the past (just won a steering column bushing I needed a few weeks ago,in fact),and have always received the item in a very fast,well packed manner. Not sure about who the other person is...maybe he needed two of the item and had a set price in his mind he was willing to go up to? If I can find it,and it is an item both of my TR7s use,sometimes I will buy the same thing twice. But not sure in this case what to tell you other than the seller is one of the best I've used on there.

The guy who won the first auction and bid on the second is from Australia (click on his name).

The bit I don't get is if this chap won the first auction and did not pay then why let him bid on the same item when relisted?
as for the price I was out fishing and was daft enough to let the wife bid for me [;)]

Look at johnangle1's history - he seems to be a regular buyer from this seller and from others - and has good feedback fom them all. He also bid at the very end of the auction - it was others who pushed up the price!
