$380, good luck making that back, especially if word gets out around the world. I don't even think it should have been that much if it was correct off color, maybe $200-250.

Is there anyway to contact the buyer and tell him/her so they can get out of it by saying it was not described correctly?

Unfortunately there is no rule against not describing a item correctly, only falsely describing it. As for contacting buyers I don't know.Man I want my vehicle working again. I love this site but I need to get out.[:eek:] Two weeks is too long.

The deception is present. The seller is attempting to deceive the buyer by making them think it is "a spectacular color". It is a shame that many items of color are now off limits to bid on. You just can't tell on some of them. Time to sell some bottles and get a new car?[light]Joel

It's mostly just bum starters from Auto Zone. It's still under warranty but this will be my third one of those. I got the old one out and waiting for them to get another in but I'm paying the extra $20 for their "gold" series.[:)]At least it warming up a bit.

All I can say is - it is disgusting to see how the hobby has gone to HELL by deception and twisted principles are applied by greed and B-S. I can not justify what people will do any more. Age will save me one of these days.RED Matthews
