    Dodgy Snatch Strap - Need Help with Ebay Seller

    Gday guys,

    I saw this on ebay a few days ago and contacted the seller asking him to take it off and had no response. Basically he is selling an ARB snatch strap that is FARKED!! Completely and absolutely. It has served him well and he should retire it.

    I have asked him to be an honest seller and take it down as it is worthless and a safety hazard and will be brought by a new, uneducated 4wdriver that may find it breaks and kills someone.

    I really need to everyone with an ebay account to send this guy a message today and see if we can get it taken down before it sells.

    Disgraceful.

    Here is the link, 22 hours to go.

    I sent this message a few days ago with no response at all,

This item should NOT be listed for an unknowing newbie to offroading to buy. Your snatch strap should be thrown out and thanked for its service and you should be happy with that. Not sure if you want to be the guy that sells a worn out snatch strap with a bow shackle to some poor bloke that does not know any better and he tries to use it on Fraser Island in the sand on a hard recovery and that shackle ends up going through the back window of a car and kills a kid. do you want that liability? Snatch Straps Break. Yours is Rooted. It should be Retired not sold to some unsuspecting. I beg you to remove from sale. there is really no dollars in it, lets face it. Your strap has done its job and it is no longer suitable for vehicle recovery. do the watchers and potential buyers a good service. Thanks in advance
    I'd really appreciate your help fellas, i will be watching and will send the buyer a message once they leave feedback if they do.

    Feel free to cut and paste my message to him if you need too, but speak up PLEASE

    Cheers for your help

    Darren

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
    WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
