Greetings: I was recently high bidder for a new Stromberg AAV-2 carburetor for my 1939 Custom Imperial Limousine. The cost was an astounding $35.00. After going through the eBay maze plus three e-mails & a phone call from me, the seller, after six days notified me, "The bid was not acceptable" & also, "This Carb would sell for $250.00 on the market as it is a very rare carb." In addition he said, "Thanks for the bid. Excuse my misunderstanding of the auction site." My question is, is ignorance a legitimate excuse for voiding a valid contract? Also, as a not to bright inter- net operator, where do I find the proper channel on eBay to alert them of the conflict? I realize, this is an "Iffy" post for the IML and ask please, PLEASE do your cut & paste exercise & do not start a thread I'll be sorry for. PLEASE reply PRIVATELY! Hope to see many of you in Monterey for the Calif. State Imperial meet this weekend Jim 1939 Custom Imperial Limousine C24 jcmartin@xxxxxxxxx
