Sort of OT: Ebay results, Have you gotten what you paid for? Options

[Pat Garvey]

Excuse me if this has been done before - couldn't find it on a search.

Ebay purchases, or sales.

What is your overall feeling? Get what you paid for? Get stiffed on a buy? Products as advertised?

I've bought & sold things, and for the most parts evrything went as plan. Not all, but close.

Bought things that looked OK, but were trash when I got them. OK, the chances you take based on crappy photos. Rare, but it has happened.

What's the general consensus?

You are the one who replaced the headlight motors on your car to get a better "tiger stripe" right? And your opening post is saying you have been disappointed with the cosmetic appearance of a couple items you bought on ebay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I've gotten a several things on ebay. Practically stole a couple of items. Paid to much for a few. So far, knock on wood, all my purchase have went well. My wife was getting me something (Cant remember what) for the 14 last year for Christmas. When the price got "too high" she asked me what I thought. I told her I'd prefer a brand new one from Pelican at half the price.

I think deals are getting harder to come by. E-bay requires due dilligence. Buying 914 parts it seems like alot of Sellers actually have no clue what they have really got. Some told them it was off a 914, Im not sure what year I think it was a 73.
