Post by tony90 » Fri Apr 08, 2016 9:06 am

I emailed a seller with a bullbar on ebay
listing no 201549134822 and querried about 2 different bars pictured.
cut and paste from my messages,-

New message from: crankie900 (423Turquoise Star)

hi Tony, All the pictures are of the same Bar as I only have one. Some pics are with out indicators the others are with indicators. Should have gone to Spec Savers

Hi there's 2 totally different designed bars, I don't know which one is selling.

crankie900:
It is the same bar

Your previous message
Hi there appears to be 2 different bars shown.
Which one is listed?

I might need to to specsavers, but at 55 haven't lost my closeup vision!
Clearly 2 different bars in pictures!
I'd be very suspect of this seller.
If its someone here on the forum, need to sort there shite out

Definitely 2 different bullbars this can be seen just by comparing the two photos.

Seller could be a little confused :)

must have fixed the photos, they seem the same to me now, one has it with indicators and black sticker, one has it without sticker and indicators, but I doubt it will sell at that price.

But the seller stated there is only one bar, yet there are clearly two in his photos.

It may be possible he cant see the difference as theymay look the same to him.
I would of told him he should of gone somewhere else than spec savers because his getting ripped off.

when it comes to buying things off ebay I like to go and see the item before I buy it so I know what I'm getting.

Have you tried looking at the wreckers to see what they have?

I am with Tony, of four pics, there are two different style bars. Just look at the forward brace welded in for the tube on the bar at each end. Can be seen on one pic and the other, cannot see it and can see green grass behind right where would expect to see the brace. Looked at just after 5 pm Friday 8th April 2016
