On eBay, there is a guy who sells great items but has crappy communication: Wheljackslab. Since he does not seem to like writing to me, can someone write to him and ask the following thing:

"Hello! Can you tell me is this item has any stickers on any of its chromed parts?

Thanks!"

Thanls in advance.

I dont normally make negative comments about e-bay sellers but in this case I'll make an exception.I've had the same problem with Wheeljackslab and your best bet is to try to find another seller for your questions or purchases.I gave this guy 3 chances and only got excuses for poor quality toys,late deliveries, or no response at all.Believe it or not ,your best bet is to try and find a seller that doesnt have 5000 items to sell because the honesty factor is higher.

You can expect slower responses over a holiday weekend.

I am not going to e-mail him, but if I did I'd need to know which auction you are referring to.

Flooding his e-mail inbox with the same question will not get you a response any quicker.

I have never purchased from him, but I've heard a lot of negative things. Try sites like http://www.transformerland.com and http://www.fortmax.com. They are reputable.

My experience with Wheeljackslab:

The guy does know what he is talking about and is very knowlegable in all G1 figures. As I understand, his website and ebay auctions is his sole income and he claims them to be "his life" and he does all the selling, buying, and shipping by himself, which I believe is why he is so short or nonexistant with communication as I also experienced. With that said, when he says a toy is in C9 or C9+ conditon he means "ONLY" that, Just the Toy. He does not mean the sickers are in good shape nor does he mean there is not some kid's cookie dough crumbs, from 20 years ago, stuck to the tires or insides of the Bot. Wheeljackslab does not clean his items in any way as he does state on his website. When he says theres some chrome wear, All the crome has wear very little is shiny if at all. If you are looking for a G1 dinobot from him look for his auctions or items that say the crome is mint, unless you want a dull ass no chromer. If he says there is sticker wear, ALL of the stickers are worn and generally there is some missing weather he says so or not.

So if you do buy a TF from Wheeljackslab you will get a great G1 that is is good shape as far as color, joints, completeness and function, but most likely you will also be buying some canned air to do some much, much needed cleaning and also spending a few extra bucks at Reprolables.

Maybe because the other one was locked but with no reason given?

Can you actually take Spike Maul's advice? Seriously its not like he's ignoring only you, unless you have literally flooded his mailbox. Take spike maul's advice, or simply go look at another source. If you're concerned simply over the stickers, buy the damn auction, leave neutral feedback, and then go to reprolabels and get the sticker sheet from there.

Besides I HIGHLY doubt that any of us pming him would make a difference.
