;) I think its fairly obvious from the pictures that its is as you describe. Just goes to show how unrealistic peoples expectations can be with anything used - thats why I HATE selling cars! 'You mean to tell me its 40 years old and isn't like a new car?!'. Title: Re: Ebay - sometimes you win sometimes you lose......

Thankyou for backing me up dude - I thought I was going MAD :P I mean WTF it a 40 year old second hand part that was only ever described as "Fairly good condition" oh well you'll ALWAYS get one idiot, To make up for it though I did just sell an ols To#¤ta alloy that my ex flat mate left behind for £45!! ;D Title: Re: Ebay - sometimes you win sometimes you lose......

Bout a week and a half ago I was watching an NOS EMPI linkage set up for Solex 40P11. It was poorly advertised so I was very excited!! I was the leader until SOMEONE at the very last second eSniped the auction and won! >:( Ruined my whole fucking day because I would have won the thing for a paltry $45 and I NEED the damn thing, I don't want to just stare at it on a shelf!!! :o Anyway a week passes... Slinger texts me- "hey I just got this NOS EMPI linkage set up, I was gonna sell it unless you want it..." YEAH I SORTA DO YOU SONOFABITCH!! ::) At least now I know I'll end up with it... even if I have to pay out the ass for it :P |
