Re: [FWDLK] '57 Dodge in Ft. Lauderdale, FL

This is a bit collateral, but what is the consensus about eBay ratings?  Seems to me that in the "real" world a business with a 96% success rate would be doing quite well.  Yet on eBay, any negative feedback is looked at unfavorably.

 

Also, I'm mostly a buyer [buy high, sell low] on eBay, and pay immediately, yet a number of sellers haven't given me any feedback.

Beware, be careful.  This seller has a poor feedback rating, lots of negatives stating misrepresentation. Plus, there are several bad feedbacks that were withdrawn, or feedback rating would be even worse.  Any feedback out of the 99% range is a warning sign in my book.  As it stands, almost 4 out of every 100 sales was unsatisfactory.

Hi all,
 
There?s a really interesting ?57 Dodge in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and I wonder if someone is in the vicinity and could go and look at it for me?
It?s currently on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4637284346
eBay item number: 4637284346
 
I?ve been trying to get additional information off of the seller, but he doesn?t want to send me the additional pictures I?ve asked for, nor does he want to tell me about data/trim plate or any identifying part numbers.
I recall seeing this car before, but can?t really remember.
 
It?s been listed three consecutive times before:
http://cgi.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4628347529
http://cgi.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4630979938
http://cgi.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4634551760
Bidders don?t come close to his reserve, which is 60K, which is what seller told me.
I am seriously interested, but only if it is a factory original.
 
It?s not listed on his homepage www.carsfromyesterday.com
