Hey Rich, do you not like your brother?...............or do you just not associate with him much?????????

[69LM1]

No. It's just that it has been a year or so since I was scammed. He forgot all about it until he paid and was redirected to the "the car you are looking for....." page. Actually, he felt kind of sheepish to be taken in after I was.....

Yep, and thats why I avoid any internet sales. Too many scams, misrepresented parts and down right fraud! Ebay is nothing but a bad joke!

Make the time to attend swap meets/car corrals whenever possible. Doing so allows you to touch, feel and smell the stuff your looking for. There is no substitute!

Al,

I understand your thoughts completely and I agree that you may find a good deal on small, obscure items. As you said, do your homework.

On the other hand, I've seen so called NOS small parts that were obviously bogus displayed inside original GM packaging, which had the correct part number on it. The seller did a clean repackaging job and the untrained eye would never know the differance. Clearly fraud in my opinion!

As always, use extreme caution with any internet sales and attend swap meets whenever possible.

NOS means re-pop nowadays on ebay.
