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

Guys, I have known Bob for approx. 17 years he is a very very good guy period. He is more knowledgable and honest than most people on this site. If you read his response he phoned the person and told them they weren't NOS. If the person was knowlegable a $495.00 reserve would have been a clue that they were not NOS. Hell $400-$500 was what you would pay for NOS 15-20 years ago. In conclusion Bob DID NOT TAKE THIS PERSONS $$. Some of us on this site own businesses and deal with the public daily, I sure wish I had Bob's reputation. And no I don't work for Bob.

495.00 reserve met does nothing for the guy that first sees the auction when the price is up over 1000.00.

Nope, that is my job and to make it look semetric both doors now look the same.

As for the rest of this I will remain out of it.. of course unless you really want me to chime in then I can oblige.

OK one thing. Bob did the right thing. PERIOD!!

If a person is not knowledgable with what they are buying, wouldn't they seek professional opinions from someone they know. This is what we do in everyday life, ie. real estate transactions(comps in the same area). Bob being a GOOD GUY DID NOT TAKE THIS PERSONS $$ . How many other EBAY people can you say that for. He was expecting the audience to be knowledgable. You cannot fault him for someone else's lack of knowledge. If we read between the lines. He did the right thing.

My opinion is this..I don't know Bob nor do I doubt he is a good and honest businessman...EBAY is just getting worse and I think he should probably mention whether it is repo or NOS...the guy who bid on them sure as hell should have asked too...which goes to show you...you can't expect the bidder to be knowledgeable. Just like the bidder should ask questions because sellers aren't that knowledgeable either. Since Bob is both knowledgeable and honest he may as well just tell dummies everything up front to eliminate crap like this...maybe it was just an oversight on his part. I must admit the fact that he knows Charley is a bad sign . Since Bob didn't take the guys money he should send the guy the shocks for free and tack it onto Charleys crappy Firebird bill.

An eBay listing similar to this one would have avoided this thread. I doubt the final price will reach the $1,000 an original one would get.

I couldn't agree more Rick...

[/ QUOTE ] A M E N to that brother. Maybe Bob could find an additional $1500.00 amount of body work on Charlie's car. JUST KIDDING.
