They call this technique....."viral marketing".

I don't even know what these partitions do, anyone want to fill me in?

My observations:

1) No profile

2) Always listed in General regardless of topic

3) They never chime in to acknowledge receipt of information

Is it just me or has anyone else seen this pattern?

...and sometimes I suspect that the original poster is actually circumventing the rules to advertise their own EBAY auctions...

Here is his only other post...

"Hey if you dont have time to do it yourself, I just bought a quality handmade one of ebay!!! He will even match the color of your interior or put a stripe in the middle to match your exterior. I had him put a electric blue stripe down a black carpet. I matched great! And worked even better. He only charged me $89.00 Check him out search c5 partition on ebay."

This thread started out... "he priced...and was quoted" on the black with electric blue. As you can see above (post on other thread), he is saying he purchased the black and blue while this thread states he bought a grey and blue for $109.

I will raise the flag .

Speed

Hi guys -

I went out to ebay and that partition looks great - seems like a good guy.

Thanks to the OP for posting.

Not sure what is dubious about this, just seems like someone pointing out the product, not unlike the many ads that are displayed here....at least in my opinion.

Have you seen the Nitto Tire sticky yet?

best regards -

mqqn

The partitions are for FRC/Z06s and convertibles (cars with short roof lines and trunks) There is no partition between the trunk and passenger cabin. There several after market partitions to separate the two compartments.Reduces sound from the back and improves efficiency of HVAC and stereo sound. There ya go,now ya know!!

From his other post:

I had him put a electric blue stripe down a black carpet. I matched great! And worked even better. He only charged me $89.00 Check him out search c5 partition on ebay.
In this thread he supposedly bought grey / blue. In the other he bought black / blue.

I'd say

I think FleaBay is starting to feel the hurt for business and has hired people to go out and get the word out that they are still around

Well I said I was new to this. And finally got around to checking out your guys site again. All the responses are great.
Everyone who wanted a profile and pic there you go. I will post a pic of the partition tomorrow however it won't be in the vette (its at the body shop) but as soon as I have it back I will post a pic wit it inside.
I am glad to know some of you think I am a fraud That's ok it makes no difference, adleast I didn't pay full price.
Keep it coming guys.

I ended up getting the black partition with the blue stripe. Not the grey. And the blue stripe matched perfect. Why so cynical? I guess thats what you get when your the newbe!
