Below are more examples of models sold by the dealer from Belgium on the internet Auction site.

Please to note: This dealer is listed as located in Belgium. But on some of his profile names he has it down as the Netherlands. His internet profile name of 'dinky-world' has no connection with us. His sales, under this name or any other of his profile sales names have nothing to do with us. The use of 'dinky-world' [which uses a hyphen] is trying to fool collectors that it is us. Do not be fooled into thinking that the Foden or Guy lorries that are sold under 'dinky-world' are to taken as original.

*Please be very aware of this seller that sells Dinky Foden and Guy commercials under the profile names of 'dinky-world' and 'seemedisplays' on the internet auction site!

Below is an example of a complete repaint that was sold on 'the' internet auction site by the seller monyet1972 on the 19 Febuary 2012. In his listing he states the model is genuine/original with slight chipping and is contained in its original and correct box, making sure to say three times the words 'correct box'. What the buyer told us and who kindly forwarded us the the first five pictures was, that he didn't notice in monyet1972's listing that the casting for this colour scheme was wrong at the time of buying. It was once he had the model in his hands that all was clear. He had since found out that the seller, monyet1972 (of which we know his 'real' name) and who also used the profile name of the_wee_man72, had bought the box with the correct model inside of Denim Blue & Red flat truck for £80.88p. He removed that model to which he sold separately for £55, he then put the repaint of the Red & Blue flat truck in the wrong style box and the following is a copy of his listing:

"For Sale is a Dinky Toys Guy Flat Truck No. 512 - Very Good condition - RARE colour combination. The model condition - 9.0/10 - It has very minor play wear with 1 or 2 signs of wear and paint chipping to the raised edges but these are minimal. The box condition - 8.5/10 - It is the correct blue cardboard box with orange and white picture sticker. It has slight fading although is the correct box type for this item. This Dinky toy and its correct box displays very well and are 100% original."

Monyet1972 ended up selling that model of a repainted Red & Mid Blue flat truck for £369.00.
Look at the pictures and you will see his original purchase of the Denim Blue & Red flat truck, making note of the small stain to the right hand bottom corner of the box lid. Study the pictures of the Red & Mid Blue flat truck and you can see that the silver grill & lights have been hand painted as is the tow hook in black. The cab & chassis is of the early casting having DINKY SUPERTOYS cast to the underside whereas this colour was produced in 1955 and should have DINKY TOYS cast underside of chassis. Also, there are no extra brasses at the front where the base plate is held on. The flat bed was again of the wrong casting having no number 512 underside and it was poorly painted by hand. Take a look at the final two pictures of a genuine Red & Mid Blue flat truck that we recently sold.

Update 22 November 2012: The internet profile name of monyet1972 and the_wee_man72 are now down as "no longer a registered user". This means he has seen the information on here about himself and deleted those profile names, but, he will not stop there as he will just start up again with another profile name so as to stay one step ahead of the buyer. We will keep a close eye on his dealings and once he starts up again we will make note of his profile name here.

Update 17 March 2013: The same seller is now using the internet profile name of bdg217.

Below is more information regarding the internet seller Gary Whitehouse, internet profile name pickegirl1982, in which he made up another fake Foden.
It concerns a number 504 second cab tanker in red & fawn which was sold on the 4 July 2012. But this time, and trying to outwit the buyer, he now used one of his other profile selling names which is paula15-2007.
Under this name and in his listing he states the following information: "For bid is a dinky foden number 504 with the 2nd cab in red. It wos left to me buy my grandad. I am selling what he left me"
A question was put to him which was: "...from your Granddad? are you sure?"
He replies with and confirming that: "It's what he had. I am just selling them on for my nan!"
To which a reply was sent to him asking: "So, your are saying that, this Foden has been with your Granddad for years? untouched by anyone but you?" He replied with: "it wos in the loft with a lot of bits and bobs"
That is what he said, and this is what he did. He bought a chipped duo blue first type tanker for £200 on the 20 April 2012 under the name pickegirl1982. He then put that chipped tanker, but not before he has repainted the bumper, with a brown card box which he then ended up selling that model for £72 on the 6 June 2012, again, under the name pickegirl1982. He then used the blue paper box from the duo blue model to put with the red and fawn second type tanker that he sold under his other name of paula15-2007 for £179.33 on the 4 July 2012. But to get that second cab tanker, he used the cab & chassis from a 501 red & fawn wagon [and gluing the rivet in place that holds the spare wheel] and the fawn tank from the first type Foden that he bought on the 6 May 2012 for £220 and this was bought under his name of pickegirl1982.
Study the pictures below to see what he done, and all of which he denied once the sale was over. His only defence was that he is not the same person/seller! What he didn't know, was that the blue paper box he ended up buying with the chipped duo blue tanker was offered to us in June 2011 by a neutral dealer and a picture was sent to us so as to show us the condition. We didn't buy that box

and so it ended up being put with a chipped duo blue tanker of which was then sold and then bought by pickegirl1982 on the 20 April 2012.
It was put to him to explain how can a box, that we was offered in June 2011 by a neutral dealer, end up with a second type Foden tanker, that has the tank from a first cab Foden on it, all of which was bought from pickegirl1982 be for sale under the name paula15-2007 and claim that it has been in the loft which was owned by his Granddad for years? He never replied!

Update 22 July 2012: The internet profile name of pickegirl1982 is now down as "no longer a registered user". He has deleted that profile name and is continuing to use the profile name of paula15-2007.

Update 5 January 2013: The internet profile name of paula15-2007 is now down as "no longer a registered user". This means he has now seen the information on here about himself and deleted that profile name too. But he will not stop there, he will just start up with another profile name so as to try and stay ahead of the buyer.

Update 17 February 2013: The same seller is now using the internet profile name of dinkynut77. Under this name he has for sale two first type Foden's. The first is a number 505 first cab chain lorry in Fern Green and the second is a number 503 flat bed/tailboard in Grey/Blue chassis. The chain lorry has been swapped using the back from the second cab Foden. He has used a black nut to secure the back to the model and the box, even though it has a picture of a first cab Foden on it, actually was home to a 'MOBILGAS' tanker for many a year as someone had written on the label 'FODEN MOBILGAS'. The number 503 is genuine, but chipped with a poor box and was bought from an in house auction for £280.00. He sold that model for £440 but he then straight away relisted it with a 'buy it now price' of £750! He thinks that by selling random genuine, but chipped, models, he will disguise his identity, not so, we are glad to say.

Update 25 February 2013: The internet profile name of dinkynut77 is now down as "no longer a registered user". This means he has either has his account deleted by the online auction hosts or, he has again now seen the information on here about himself and deleted that profile name. We will keep a close eye on his dealings and then once he starts swapping the cab & chassis's and the backs of the Foden's again we will post any information of his wrong doings here. He will not stop in starting up again with yet another internet profile name, selling swapped Foden's, and in doing so, we will not stop in revealing his activities. 

Update 26 February 2014: The same seller is now using the internet profile name of dinkylove1977.
