Need help fast- ebay problem
Hello all,
Sold a car on ebay (item 4506428663) 68 427.
The winner emailed and said the heads were from a 69 corvette, he got this info from the corvette black book. So he said my item was misrepresented. Here are the head #3931063. Is he right or trying to get over on me?
I have a How to rebuild your BB book and it just gives years 65-69 427.
Thanks
Bryan

Seems like you posted head #'s on November 27th and auction didn't end until today. I think he is just trying to beat you down on the price he already comitted to. Don't know if those are the right heads or not but he should have investigated prior to bidding.

Other than the heads, it's numbers matching?
What's the beef.
At that price he should be glad the heads are still there.

Unfortunitely, solving this will be almost impossible. Try to work with it. If he just wants to back out completely, then he didn't want it to begin with. If he wants it, but wants some money taken off the final price then you know he wants to get something for nothing. You might have to cut your losses and go back through the car and repost it with all information in the ad. I hope it works out! Good Luck!

I agree that you seem to have represented the car very well. I was following this auction, and if I could have gotten some more info on the numbers and more photos of the interior and frame, I would have been a "player" for this car. Looks like the "next in line" bidder has good feedback on this type of purchase---have you contacted him/her? I would consider buying this vette from you if you could get me more info and pics. Please e me if this is possible. G.

Those heads are interchangable with the 215's.
I think they were used on late 68's besides the 69's.
If he does not want it (considering he bid before the head numbers were posted), I would offer it to the second bidder. He would probably haunt you about this and that anyway.
It sounds like you represented the car well. It is not a barn survivor, the 215 heads are fairly easy to obtain, if he needed them for whatever reason.
Just my opinion.

I agree, my Muncie gearbox is date coded with a stamp and my big block heads are date coded on the casting (cast numbers). You will have to remove the valve covers to see.

Ask the winning bidder what he wants to do. If he wants the car he can pay the price. The difference in value between a set of 68 heads and a set of 69 heads is probably pretty low. Keep in mind that the next guy in line is only $100 away so no need to come off much more than that.
If he balks, give him a "neutral" for his feedback file and talk to the second bidder. Tell him you will relist it as a 1 day auction with a buy-it-now price that he bid earlier and see if he wants to do the deal. I bet he will take the bait.
That is a lot of car for the cabbage.

you can contact the 'second high' bidder without re-listing. Ebay gives you that option if the high bidder does not pay or whatever.... didn't see how much the bids were... you may be lucky and get a lot more in another auction.... since the car didn't sell Ebay may let you re-list again with no aditional charge...
