Volvo 850 t5-r model cars

autoartcollection · Nov 28th, 2012, 00:12

Hello all,

My name is Alex, and I own a small model car business in Hinckley, Leicestershire.

We have a good number of AUTOart 850 T5-R models in stock, and are giving a discount to forum members. There is the saloon and the estate available.

They are £51.00 each, with applicable postage of £5.52 for one car, or upto 6 for £8.39. The eBay listings are here for Saloon and Estate

The order form for the forum discount is

There are 2 things that worry me a LOT about the purchase page ...

No HTTPS and it looks like card details are sent in plain text. Infact, the website breaks if you try and use https.

They look like nice models though, how big are they? Its hard to tell from the photos.
I'm sure they'll fly off the shelves at that price!!

people are always advised NEVER to send card details by non-secure means such as this . Dont risk it .
However i dont think there is anything fraudulent going on here , why cant we just add our forum name to the e-bay purchase method for the discount ? I want one , but am not prepared to send card details on a non https web page like that ... why cant the advertiser use pay-pal ?

These will be the 1/18 scale jobbies - in english roughly 25cm long.

If we're putting together a forum buy for these, I'll jump in too (will steer away from sending card details as advised).

What's the plan? (suppose we need to await response from post originator)

I think the mods should clarify if genuine but i still would not give card details as requested.

Hi,
Quite a long shot but you don't still have a saloon model still available by any chance?
