Ebay Threats?? NAC...sorry

[Richard Hoffman]

Well I have to get my .02 in on this as an ebay seller.  First off, there
are OTHER KINDS of Skyline besides GT-R.  Different drivetrain choices,
engine options, power outputs, etc.  They even made a sucky RWD 160 hp N/A
skyline.  Of course, just like comparing an S4 to an A4 FWD.  Would you
expect to find HP-2 brakes on the A4 FWD??? I didn't think so.
Also, the ad says: upgrade for 300zx.  There are two different 300zxs - from
90-96 and from 84-89.   While it may not be an upgrade for one, it probably
is for the other.
Based on an ad that says "These are brakes from a Skyline", I would ASK
before I bid on it or even considered "buying it now".  I am not saying the
ad was perfect but I personally think the seller walked into it.  Compared
to most of the ads I see out there, there are much less desciptive and more
misleading sellers out there.   How to handle them as a buyer: ask before
you bid!!!
Maybe I'm just bitter about getting screwed by a buyer myself just last week
but I think Mr. Buyer is in the wrong here....
