<x-charset iso-8859-1>Yeah, well, to be honest I really dislike e-screw-you-over-Bay and this
rip-off, er, auction is a good example. I get tired of people taking
advantage of others, painting bunny rabbits and roses on everything, then
the buyer gets the item and discovers all these little things that are wrong
and the sum ends up being a PITA. If the person isn't completely dedicated
and has some sort of cash flow then the item or car ends up getting trashed,
either by neglect or physically tossed, and our parts availability gets
smaller. So I check out the pictures and give my opinions on what I see,
hopefully shedding more light on an already dimly-lit "bargain". I know if
I'm wrong I'll be corrected and hopefully others will find flaws and point
them out. This gives anyone on the list a good bargaining standpoint should
they want to contact the seller privately or at least let them better know
what they are getting, reducing surprises. I know I'd be miffed if I bought
a 'rare' part (that all are, ya know...whatever!) only to find out everybody
knows it's actually not rare at all but the seller just claims ignorance
(I'd prefer to call it purposeful stupidity).
I know you're giving us a hard time :) From what I've seen, those really
interested in the greater good of the T3 make offers in this forum or other
VW-dedicated location and shy away from auctions because keeping the hobby
alive and affordable is worth more than the cash in pocket. Really, if I
wanted to pay high dollar for parts I'd buy a Porsche!
I guess you can tell this is one of those buttons o' mine that shouldn't be
pushed ;)
