Default Just bad luck

I don't know if anybody has been following my hunt for a Reese Trailer Hitch for my 92, but I was off line for a few days and when I got back on, I did my daily check of the C4 parts/wanted site and there it was, a Reese Shadow Hitch!! BUT by the time I got to the seller, I was # 2 in line.

The same thing happened on another site with a Dalan hitch that was priced very low.

Maybe I'm not supposed to have a hitch.

i hear ya. i've had that happen before. i posted a WTB part which appearantly nobody had. 2 weeks later, someone posted the same part and another person had the part this time for him.

it gets annoying sometimes, but that's the luck of the draw. and there's more good then bad that comes out of that section.
