Re: They\'re at it again!
Maybe the dealer is repairing it! Unlikely-- guess he wants to unload the bad equipment over the internet and sell the better stuff locally for those who can actually see and test the equipment. That way he will keep a good reputation locally while the ebay user ID will get trashed. Once he has bad feedback he will start another ebay user ID. Bet the auction says that it is sold "as is" and that the buyer is welcome to inspect it prior to bidding. Ebay motor's policy is to only punish if misrepresentation is over half of the value of the vehicle. I don't know if that applies to other stuff on ebay.
Anyway, it is very interesting that something that hardly runs is being sold on ebay without any mention of problems. Makes you wonder about buying anything of significant cost/value on ebay--especially sight unseen from someone who can hardly be identified and who can get a new identity next week (or who may have several ID's at any time). If they are selling the same low cost item day in and day out, it is probably ok, but if they are selling high cost items, better look at the item before you buy.
