Default $ 1,500 + for repro spirals!!!!

Check out Ebay item# 4596006893, date stamped repro spiral shocks. The Ebay ad never says original and when I emailed them they said they were dated new spirals. Misleading to say the least. Someone is in for an expensive lesson.

This is the same place that had a 68 Camaro 140 mph speedometer a little while back with a very vague description as well.

that 140 speedo was a repo just like the shocks, i emailed them and asked specifically and they said, any dates on the shocks you want and the speedo was rescreened from a yenko. Someone got burned!!

I agree the auction should have said repros, and shame on the buyer for not asking before bidding big $$'s for repro shocks. Isn't the Seller Bob Harris @ Camaro Specialties in NY?

You have to ask questions if the answers aren't in the auction...I ask people if it's OLD NOS or new NOS now...if you don't ask...they won't tell...

Wow, at least someone was mislead. That can ruin a businesses reputation...Does anyone know what the reserve was that is outrageous for a set of $400 shocks.

The "Buyer Beware" exclusion should not apply when you are dealing with a knowledgable known reputable seller. Hobbyists rely on these folks for info and fair treatment and do business accordingly. I hope this is cleared up prior to purchase being made and trouble begins.
