Vladimir in Ukraine/Delaware Sells WLA Parts Anyone Know Him?

Post by MATT » Thu Oct 26, 2017 12:11 pm

Has anyone out there had any dealings with Vladimur from Ukraine/Delaware? He has been selling some amazing Harley Davidson WLA parts on eBay under the name fastgun777.

I won an auction for one of the Harley WLA frames he had on eBay this morning and it said he was out of Delaware but come to find out the frame is in the Ukraine which was never mentioned in the eBay add. I realize that tons of WLA stuff is in that part of the world but I just wonder why it was not mentioned on the listing. I am guessing he didn't want to scare away bidders....

Has anyone bought, sold or know this guy? I just want to make sure everything is on the up and up.

Thanks for all your help!

Did not know he was in Ukraine. Was watching some of his items. I guess with PP you are safe if the item does not arrive quickly. I noticed the shipping costs are cheap though. He has a rating of 100 with 87 reviews

Strange thing is I saw those saddlebags somewhere before, the ones with the repair patch. Thought it was Holland.

I think this guy could be a phony ?? I don't like dealing with that part of the world???? if you go back in the past threads here you will see that Steve Lemay from Resurrecting cycle had some dealing that sold parts to a guy from the Ukraine and was taken for large amount of money.
Dealing with these guys from the Ukraine is like paying poker in the wild west back in the old days you don't know what the out come is going to be?

I brought the old post back up guy was selling then a buddy and then a girl friend sound like one big mess!

I see that nos frame $2900 one? Is pitted bad under the fresh new od green paint and the same with the nos forks how can it pit and the paint stay nice?

The $3200 frame is nice aged frame that has little or no paint left.

Ok thanks guys for the replies. I agree and try to stay away from that part of the world. The only reason I bid was because it said it was located in Delaware.

I won the $3200 frame. I really didn't want to pay that much but my project is at a standstill until I can come up with a decent frame. I have an original WLA frame but it is rough and the bill estimate from the frame shop is close to my winning bid. I figured I should just try and find a better frame and sell or fix what I have down the road.

Thanks again for the help,
Matt

I looked at his ebay rating in detail. He has no feedback as a seller, its all as a buyer, and a few of them are for non paying, even called a thief and other things. Strange the feedback comments are now reverted to positive with the same bad comments. Hacked?

From my understanding as a seller you can't leave negative feedback
