I have read the post and I guess I am just one d%$&n lucky Dude .

 I either get just what I asked for at a fair price with shipping or I get More than I expected . The folks I have dealt with on this site are the best .

  The " Bay " Now , I recently have hit heavy and done well . Nothing was a lie .  Everything was as advertised . I let the shippers know when said model arrived and thanked them ! That's how I have been doing .

   Now , I have had some bad experiences locally and it really p*((^%&d me off . Now whan you make a deal , settle on price and then drive for two hours and arrive only to be told someone else got it for more and not even a Thank You for your interest or a text to let me know . I wanted to hit someone . 

 I live on the old S.S. and a very small Disability check from the V.A. I can't afford to drive like that both ways and burn all that money through the injectors of my little car !

 Granted , on the Highway I get 37MPG ! That's not the point ! If you have something to sell and the money hasn't changed hands , at least let a person know he or she has been outbid - so to speak . Before they have traveled far !

   That's why I very rerely go to the Bay . If you don't know the item that well and the photos leave a question . ASK , They will reply . But beware  ,some of the sellers are wise to what they have and what they think it should go for regardless of condition .

 " E - Bay " is always and should be Buyer beware . Deal with the sellers you have built up trust with . Then you won't get burned . Either way .We shouldn't try to stick it to each other , Right ?  T.B.
