Re: I feel for this guy if it's true
Chuck,
I am sorry if I came across kinda harsh, especially if you know this person. But like Sam said, with all the internet scams out there, I could not help but feel it might be a "scam". I do feel bad for this man since it does appear that he indeed had a fire. From the photos in the auction it did look like it might just be his "garage", but it was hard to tell. According to the news story (source?) that you posted, it was his "garage" that burned, not his "home". What bothers me is that he said in the auction "This is what a home looks like after your worst fear" and stated "ALL LOST". I know he probably lost a lot in his garage, but he did not lose everything. He still has what is most important...his family!
I am a VERY generous person, and always willing to help someone in need. However, I feel this (eBay auction) was the wrong way to go about asking for help.
Best of luck to your friend and sorry to hear about his car and garage.
Rita
