Bootleg manuals on eBay
I bought "1992 Chevrolet Corvette Repair MANUALS ON CD" on eBay. They turned out to be pirated copies of the Haynes manuals. Imagine my disappointment. I already own a paper copy of the Haynes manual, so I know how useful it is.

I bought a music CD avertised as new. I received a cheap, bootleg, unoriginal copy. I informed the seller and the fact that Ebay removes such listings. I was given a prompt refund no questions asked.

There's another guy on Ebay who sells a crappy repair manual on CD advertised as a Corvette GM Shop Manual in his title, that contains nothing but vauge general info not perticular to any car model, much less a Corvette. Forgot what his Ebay username was.
