Exactly.  Do you walk into a car parts store not
knowing what model you have?  No.  You can't blame the
seller here, that is the type of add I like to see on
ebay, it's not his fault the buyer is stupid.  This is
probably the same guy who buys those 'bolt on turbo
kits' for his Honda that consist of somebody's turbo,
pipe, and clamps that the stripped off an '84 Snaab
900.  If you don't have the money, you don't have the
money.  No sense in trying to decide who's fault it is
because you don't have it.  I like the idea of
re-listing it for them.  At least it's some effort to
try and help them, and hopefully you can avoid
negative feedback.  Even though there were only two
other bids, you can see people were interested in
them.  If you do end up giving his money back, take
the relisting fee out and flame the hell out of him.
