Deadset Twits............

Geez, everyone is whinging and bitching about the ridiculous prices people are asking for rusted out crap but these same twits go and tell the owners of these rusted out heaps that they have something special or rare.

I got my Sandman from Ebay for a good price because the owner didn't know it was a Sandman and no twits told him it was. Thank god I bought it a couple of years ago before the expert Sandman twits came out of the woodwork.

I was watchiing this one as it is 15min from my place and has windowless side panels and some worthwhile parts..... parts are all it's good for and the $1500 start price is top dollar for the car without tools going and telling him it is a confirmed Sandman.

Why do I call them Twits??????? Lets look at the email and Q & A's.

Dear mygrandmadied,

Hi again, yes tags tell the story of what you have and here are what I can tell you. Body No: HX8WM70 Sandman P/Van (note Kingswood P/van HX8WN70) Eng 253HC(4.2), Trans M20 Aussie 4spd Std ratio, Diff Ratio 3.55:1 Salisbury, Paint color is Jade Metallic Green with DX5 Sandman Stripe, White Needle Gauges, Adelaide Built, 1899-60A Chamios Trim Color only on Sandman not Kingswood, I hope this helps as I would like for you not to be fooled by anyone telling you that all you have is a Kingswood and not a Sandman in which you have. Cheers

Fastgetz is an expert twit.......
HX8WM70 does not mean it is a Sandman P/Van
Jade Green metallic did not have DX5 decals
60A Chamois trim is not Sandman only and was available on all models including Statesman.

Q: Hi, just checked out your van and would like to tell you that it is a Genuine Sandman and not a Kingswood, you should either relist with corrections or add to description. Cheers

A: Hi, how do you know its a sandman, Tags do they hold information? Thanks

I'd also like to know how he can say it is a genuine Sandman?????

Q: Information from a gmh book that i have say that on the vin tag N70 is a kingswood van and M70 is a sandman van. Hope this helps.

A: Thank you we didn't know.

Having a GMH book is useless if you can't READ..... Where in the GMH book does it say that M70 means Sandman ..... M70 is the model code for a Holden panelvan.

Q: Yep it's genuine, you could try www.mysandman.com.au for identification details. Cheers.

A: Hi thank you very much for that. Emma

Another ill informed expert ....... obviously hasn't properly read all of mysandman or simply doesn't understand what he is reading.


The car is "most probably" a Sandman but there is nothing on the tags to prove it is one.

For crying out loud people leave the Q & A's to the people interested in bidding and keep your expert opinions to yourself.... you're either total fools or jealous because you can't afford to buy them yourselves so you goad the seller into jacking up their prices so those who can afford them end up paying a premium. I have actually seen listings ended early because of these experts and re-listed a few days later at twice the price.

People keep complaining about prices on Ebay, with crap like that above it is your own stupid fault that prices are so high..............
