Just Missed Getting Screwed

Although I did want it, I refused to pay by any other means other than PayPal. It went downhill from there. He did not get any money from me. Check the feedback of this clown. I am "trexplek."
I have had nothing but good experiences in my dealings on eBay since I joined in '99. This was a close call.

Glad to hear you caught it and didn't get ripped off.

I got took for $700 a couple years ago on ebay.
It was a hassle and a lot of paper work, but finally got reimbursed by paypal 6 months later.

Damn Jerry, I bid on that same top about two months ago, same seller and all. Sounds like they went downhill quick. BTW: Thanks again for those FRC's, they still look great.
