Second, a quick search on Canada Post 's website indicates the Postal Code is wrong;
4 WOODLAND AVE
PETITCODIAC NB  E4Z 4X5

The postal code he gave you is
CHAMPLAIN PLACE
477 PAUL ST
DIEPPE NB  E1A 4X5

Arrange for someone from FC to check them out in person. To me-smells like a scam.

^^ x2 - the number given is a Rogers cell phone out of Moncton NB ... a reverse address check reveals no landline associated with that address, and the same guy has an ad in Edmonton kijiji promoting his home reno business (with the same Moncton phone number!!) - plus the use of stock photos suggests he doesn't actually have the rims in his possession.

Good advice above - have someone put eyeballs on the actual rims before even thinking about sending him money. My bet is that he won't agree to it ... but if he does, then you might just have a good deal there.

BTW - the 699 price doesn't specify what size rim ... what size are you looking for?

On the other side of the coin the same guy had quite a few ads in Moncton kijiji selling furniture etc and even giving some of it away ... perhaps in advance of moving to Edmonton ... anyway, don't want to slag the guy unnecessarily but it still does look suspicious.

Wow good stuff. How'd you get that info? I work for rogers right now so i could pull up that number and his account and get info however this is illegal for me to do so and if i'm caught will be automatically fired lol. I'm tempted to pull up his account though if it's a rogers number!
