Classified: Realboystoys Ltd

[Mattt]

Does PH really need cowboy outfits like this? I thought there was a move to move the classifieds 'upmarket' - the cars may be but the seller appears to be a 5 year old child.

They have been slated right across the forums, e.g. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... - which shows up that they are a very dubious company:

I see in that thread that Paul had a word with them over stealing other peoples pictures - but the quality of their advertising has not improved. Companies House has received a motion to have them struck off, perhaps time PH did the same?

The 'owner' also posted a rather dubious thread in P&P a while back stating he was sorry and then posted some sob story.

So why are the adverts still there ?

Hi Peeps, They call me Sharky ,,, And guess what i have bought a car from him, It was a X50 Porsche 911 Turbo and i paid not shy of 55k at the time, Mark is the guy who runs the company , He is a nice guy but doing business with him is really tricky .. As half the time he does not pick up his phone even when he has all your cash upfront ... He did source me a lovely car and i took it to porshce for 111 point check and it passed with flying colours.. But i had to chase him alot and half the time he was getting robbed or was in hospital, It was a right f**ing nightmare, so be warned.... But i still dont know where to place him, he does not have his own showroom..

See ya

He's still doing it.

that image comes from a trader called Mike Thomas of MT Performance.

Real Boys Toys are currently using it to advertise a 360 for sale on their site.

I'd be very surprised if that's a customer.

I'm sceptical - but if the owner signed up to give himself a negative review then he's even better than I thought

But even the "owner" sounds like a 12 year old troll on General Gassing......
