RE: [T3] Notch on eBay - not mine

It really has nothing to do with eBay, it just goes to whether someone feels safe buying a vehicle sight unseen, based on a description a seller provides.  I personally wouldn't buy a vehicle without looking at it myself or getting someone to go check it out for me.  If someone wants to fly me up to Vega$, I'll check it out for ya, I'll put a few bucks down on Red, too.  :)  

People bag on eBay all the time but there's really nothing to be mad about, it's the same as any swap meet, "Buyer Beware".  I can say without a doubt that I've bought more junk and had more misrepresentation at swap meets than from eBay.  

Recent experience - I "won" something on eBay and something off a Classifieds site, both from the same general area in Canada.  The eBay item was better than described and took 2 weeks to get here, weighed about 10 lbs.  The non-eBay item took 5 weeks plus it was only an envelope (1 lb.) plus it was the wrong year and I had to insist on a partial refund.

Later,
