Then don't you think you should be sure BEFORE you list it at auction with a THREE THOUSAND DOLLAR shipping charge?

I don't buy the "marketing a product" thing. Just look at all the negative comments on this site. Here, only a few people have seen the auction. Imagine the other thousands of people that saw the auction before Ebay ended it. The ones that saw the shipping fees said to themselves "this guy is nuts" and close the auction. If you just wanted to use the auction for exposure, it should have been listed with a reasonable shipping charge and a reserve.

He also listed a 69 W30 project under "salvage parts cars", to save the listing fee and ended the auction early. Talk about navigating fees. Ebay is a business and deserves to earn their share. Play by the rules.

i am given the opportunity by ebay to list an auction as i see fit.i also pay the fees associated with the listing.
nobody here did that.
if you don't agree,contact ebay,instead of crying like a bunch of 6th graders that didnt get the same flavor ice cream somebody else got.

there was no scam,i think some of you are just a little paranoid.
it'd kind of hard to run a scam when i use my real name on the internet,including this board.
i don't see too many people doing that here,actually.i wonder why?

as i said before,if youre interested in the stuff,call the owner,instead of wasting bandwidth.

You have to give Andy this. 1] He is a paid member listing parts 2] He did post pics and a contact # 3] He did first offer it to members with a price and not just an ebay link for members to bid on against everyone else .. If you dont like the shipping price call the contact person and see if its a misprint or if you can pick it up etc..

What does that have to do with anything?

1. He listed it as a COPO block, without making sure it WAS a COPO block.

2. By his own admission, he did not bring a light and make sure of his numbers, BUT listed it with a price here. What if someone would have taken him at his word "because he is a member here". We shoud hold ourselves to a higher standard!

3. Trying to "Fool" someone with a 3,000 shipping charge is just wrong, not matter how you try and "market" it. Period. So, no, I don't feel like he deserves any slack.

Even know, instead of being a man and admitting that he is wrong, he is blaming everyone else.

wrong about what?

blaming who?

i put an ad on here for some 427 stuff with the part numbers,even put the contact info for the owner.

what's so hard about picking up a phone?

i guess typing on a keyboard is easier.
