I'll try one more time ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Nobody here has ever bought anything *from* eBay. You bought a car *through* eBay. Not the same ...

If you go to your local Saturday morning farmers market and you buy a unopened box of tomatoes from a vendor and you don't inspect them until you get home and then you find they're all rotten, do you then immediately go to city hall to try to get your money back from the city?

Because in the example above, city hall is just like eBay, they provide the marketplace for vendors and customers.


Displacing blame and responsibility onto eBay will not get you anywhere.
Instead, you should be going after the vendor who screwed you.

Ah but Andy, in this analogy would your stance change if city hall had guaranteed that if you bought the tomatoes from the farmers market, they would be as described or you would get your money back only to find out that because you bought green tomatoes instead of red, you cannot collect anything?

Because eBay makes that guarantee to make buyers feel safer, I believe they have skin in the game. All they have to do is put in bold letters on their website "Buyer beware, all sales are as-is with no warranties" and then they could be excused. The fact that they purposely jump in there makes them liable if you ask me.

Contact McMark at Original Customs, he's semi local (Sonoma) and very handy with sheet metal.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) you need this evaluated by a 914 expert. McMark is your guy. He may be able to utilize some restoration designs panels and save it for you...

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. It happened to me when I bought my first one and before I knew where to look.

Can't you shop around for other quotes?

Not to discredit the Buyer (& you are probably a 914 Neophyte), but looking at those Pictures in the eBay ad would have told me there was significant Rust and it was from NY. The Buyer is in CA the Home of Rust-Free cars and where they cut up cars that people in the Northeast would drool over
