Default Re: ebay rant

I have bought numerous cars off eBay and have never been disappointed. I have several rules that I follow.

1. Talk on the phone with the seller. Ask them to nit pick the car. have them walk around the car and describe the smallest item. Tell them that you are planning on coming to see it or have it inspected even if you are not.

2. Ask for very specific photos of known problem areas for the type of car you are looking at.

3. Ask for photos of the body(paint) with reflections in it so you can see that the paint and body are flat.

4. Get photos of the areas that most people don't take the time to fix right (under dash, door hinges, pinch welds by rear dog legs and rockers, back side of rockers.

5. Make sure that the photos are of good quality, not necessarily high resolution because your computer screen can't display anything too high anyway. Good lighting some in sun and some in the shade (not dark).

If you don't get what you ask for ask again, if your still not satisfied PASS!!!!!

It always works for me.
