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.

I think KLONECO is right in his response.There are some good deals out there on the NET,rather it be EBAY or other WEB SITES!You do have to be very careful with who you do business with though.I have made according to my Wife too many purchases off of e bay and knock on wood I have not been ripped off or scammed yet.When I see an item I am interested in I look at there feedback and if it is questionable I will not deal with that seller.I guess so far I have been LUCKY.Most of the items I buy are small and not that nuch money involved but I have purchased 2 vehicles off Ebay.Both were local to me and I inspected both before I ever bid, but both were excellent deals.I would not ever buy a vehicle without either inspecting it first by myself or have someone else inspect it for me if I was unable to do so myself.That just goes against my JUDGEMENT to do something like that ,unless it was someone that came HIGHLY recommended by someone that I trusted.The most we can hope for is that the CROOKS that prey on the Net get caught before to long.The Crooks are out there and were before the Net ever became availiable.The Net just gave them another place to do business.We will never get rid of all the Crooks they will always be there lurking for someone to make a mistake,rather it be the Net,or wherever.But we can help each other by making the Crooks be known whenever possible.I think Ebay could do a better job in policing and hopefully they will do so in the near future,in the meantime it is buyer beware! buyer be very careful!

[69LM1]

Well, I cannot complain to much. I got my 69 LM1 (before I or the seller knew what that was) off ebay. All I knew is that is had a # match 350/4speed/12bolt multi car w gauges. It was "customized" on the gauges (to all 70's era digital speedo and tach) and "electric" doors. She is also now her original hugger orange and all of the components are back to original. I was amazed that the reverse safety switch still worked as well as all of the smog equipment is still intact. This is the most original camaro that I have ever owned.

Conversely, a short while after I bought a 69 roller that was supposed to be a SS. Well long story short, it was not. It was cloned. So, I guess the point I am trying to make is there are still some good deals out there, but you have to be very careful!! It's like a trip to the casino, never go into it with more than you can afford to lose, and if you happen to win great!

I might be a good idea to confirm the part is not just a re-pop by asking if it is a OEM and a NOS from the XXXX that manfactured the part originally. That way you would have some legal recorse against them or at least you could throw a reallistic sounding scare into them till they give your money back.
