eBay My World: ome6aman( 1857)

Hi, my name is Pete, I'm 45 years old and am a security guard for the RAF having served as a regular. I live in beautiful Lincolnshire with my family in Coningsby in Lincolnshire. My ebay name is ome6aman and I enjoy buying and selling on ebay.

Cars and spares etc and anything I am after really. When all else fails, I nearly always find what I'm after on ebay - I've won some fantastic bargains over the last three years!

I collect Haynes manuals and have a collection of model cars to brighten up me study. Don't really collect anything as a hobby like a true collector. I'm car mad and my cars include a Merc C43 AMG, Lexus LS400, Rolls Royce Silver Shadow MkI.

English, German

Hobbies are classic car shows, cars, going out places for a good nosey and a drive out, car valeting & tinkering, but I'm no expert by any means, but I know some bits about cars. I enjoy meeting people and socialising, but I am also a bit of a loner and do enjoy quiet times alone, going for a walk etc. I am also restoring a 1962 classic Austin 1100 which truly is a labour of love. I can always find something to do at home instead of gawping at the telly all night. I write poetry for all occasions or if I have a wave of insiration and hope to publish them all one day. I have a sense of humour and enjoy tasteful banter but not when it goes too far. I believe words can be very powerful and can wound very deeply, even when spoken in jest. Friendly banter is great at the right time and I'm a bit of a practical joker as well. I love prestige cars and have been blessed with some really nice motors in my life so far. At the moment I have a Lexus LS400 and this is the best car I have ever been in

Not much of a book worm, but I read Great Expectations at school for O level and it was a brilliant story, really enjoyed it. I also enjoy certain self help books and true stories about people who have been through real trials and succeeded, these really inspire me along with a number of amazing experiences of some of the peoples in antiquity which are recorded in the Bible.

My all time favourite movie is Chitty Chiity Bang! Bang! My mum took me to see it when I was 5 years old. The stage show was also fantastic - tickets to the show were part of my 40th birthday. Other favourite movies are The Green Mile, Forest Gump and where eagles dare and James Bond films.

I think ABBA were fantastic! and still are. I got stick at school for being an ABBA fan. Seen the stage show Mamma Mia - Absolutely brilliant!! Film also really very good. Hilarious and really enjoyable, a truly memorable day out. My all time favourite group was Electric Light Orchestra. Never had the privilege of seeing them live, but have most of their albums - they were legendary, fantastic. Also like Elvis, he was cool!

Don't really watch much these days, but I enjoy comedy programmes like Vicar of Dibley, Open all hours. Favourite Dramas - Howards Way, Heartbeat and Frost. My all time favourite comedians are Morecambe & Wise - just brilliantly talented and extremely funny. Don't do soaps!

I am a Christian and believer in the God of Heaven and his Son Jesus Christ. I believe God made the world and everything in it and that He has a plan for our lives from beginning to end. I believe that this life is a test and time of preparation for when we die and go into eternity where we are in heaven or Hell depending on whether or not we have accepted Jesus as our personal saviour from our sins and imperfections for which He died on the cross. I am always happy to talk about these things with anybody, but I do not force my belief on anyone or judge. I am no better or worse than anybody else. The only difference between me and a non believer is the decision I have made to accept Jesus and his teachings. In fact, I have met people who are not Christians and are much nicer people than I am! I do have faults and but I also have God's favour in my life only because He offered it to me and I accepted it. I don't deserve it but God has blessed me tremendously. He is the God of Grace

Started selling on ebay in 2004 and have enjoyed a very successful run with buying and selling. The concept of ebay is brilliant because you reach such a wide audience with your item. I wish I'd thought of it! I have made contact with many wonderful people through ebay which is what makes it all worthwhile. My philosophy is treat people how you want to be treated because what goes around, comes around, and you reap what you sow.

I accept all payment methods for my sales including paypal. All forms of payment welcome and I tend to send items out often before payment comes in. I believe in trust without which ebay couldn't really run and I have lost out on some items which I sent out but never received payment. There are some very unfair people around. However, I have sold hundreds of items on trust and will continue to do so. The genuine and honest people far outweigh the not so good!

I always assume that the post office could use any of my packages as a football, so I do wrap items well in bubble wrap and cardboard for added strength and security and then sometimes, they are bagged up in a black plastic bag with a self adhesive addtess label attached. I also indicate sender details in case of loss or stray.

I will accept any item back from a buyer if not satisfied, but unless I have sent you the wrong item or the item is way off the description, I don't pay postage both ways. I believe when dealing with people and trading used goods, you have to accept an element of risk because everybody's perception is different. I am always happy to help if I can and I include a covering letter with every item which displays my contact details.

I am happy to be contacted anytime by mobile fone, text or email and my contact number which is 07825 542026 appears on all my listings.

I once looked at a real leather coat in an exclusive shop in London. It was top quality and very expensive. It was very nice indeed, but I couldn't afford it! The label on it said this: Natural imperfections in the material add to the beauty of this garment. Dyou know what? You and I are imperfect but that is part of what makes us the people we are. Gifted, talented, unique and imperfect. A complete package and a one off. You are special and wanted. There are things in this life which have been pre planned for you to do and if you don't do them, they'll never get done. There is a plan for your life mapped out which is best for you. There will only ever be one of you and that makes you priceless. Think about it and live in the light of this amazing truth. Bless you - Pete
