Where in Texas? There are many Jeepers on here that might be willing to swing by and give you an objective opinion depending on where its at.I am looking for a truck and found it at a large car dealership in TX.
I figured that about you. Yes some of the stuff on e-Bay is crap and there are scams just like the guy on the street corner selling $2000 stereos for $100. Heck you can get a pallet of returned merchandise that looks brand new and resell it without knowing if the first thing works if you want. Then there is the legitimate buisness man (or woman) who makes a little extra selling on e-Bay as well as thousands of individuals who sell stuff just like they would at a local auction. I would hazzard a guess that for every scam there are hundreds if not thousands of legit deals.Personally, I don't trust e-bay for anything
yea me too, i am starting an internet division here at my office and we use ebay to sell a ton of stuff, but i do agree you always run the risk of running into idiotsBTW I took offense to this rather broad statement about not trusting e-Bay because I am one of those legitimate buisnessmen trying to make a little extra cash selling there.

Take offense all you want...it was not intended as a personal assault, but with a little peculiar imagination, one could find fault with anything anyone says...bottom line, there is always that "risk", and yes, I find better deals from brick and mortar vendors who also have internet sites, and yes, the "risk" of having to return a faulty product to a shady vendor on e-bay, who will take a year and a day to issue a refund, but not before he takes his percentage for "re-stocking"...better I spend a few bucks more at a established business then piss it away with a business owner wanabee who may or may not have a business license....NOW you can be offended, if that is what makes you whole.yea me too, i am starting an internet division here at my office and we use ebay to sell a ton of stuff, but i do agree you always run the risk of running into idiots

Dude my buisness is not Brick and mortar so to speak in that you can't go to a location and shop. I run it out of the house and advertise with the jeep custom work is like that. I sell locally as much and sometimes more as I do online. The problem is neither local nor online sales alone would make it worthwhile. BTW I do have a buisness license and have for a while. My , real name, address, and home phone number is a matter of public record as well. As far as refunds I would never take more than a day (due to e-mail lag) to give a full one out when requested (not that it has EVER happened). I also have gone out of my way to correct any mistakes (which has) without asking the customer to return anything. Funny thing is I can't afford to do people wrong as word of mouth is the best advertising ever. To top off the buisness and my reputation I also work as Santa During the Christmas season. Everyday I put my personal reputation as well as buisness reputation up for anyone and everyone to see and evaluate. Keep in mind while the rest of you can have a few beers, whoop it up, and carry on I have to watch what I do year round. My info is on my jeep and I look like Santa for a good part of the year so I have to watch what I do and where I do it in order to keep my reputation intact.Take offense all you want...it was not intended as a personal assault, but with a little peculiar imagination, one could find fault with anything anyone says...bottom line, there is always that "risk", and yes, I find better deals from brick and mortar vendors who also have internet sites, and yes, the "risk" of having to return a faulty product to a shady vendor on e-bay, who will take a year and a day to issue a refund, but not before he takes his percentage for "re-stocking"...better I spend a few bucks more at a established business then piss it away with a business owner wanabee who may or may not have a business license....NOW you can be offended, if that is what makes you whole.![]()
OnlyInMyJeep;30831Then agian I forget your goal in life is to insult at least one (if not several) people a day so I should have just let it pass.[/QUOTE said:Dude.....it's you who has made it personal and it is you who took offense when no offense was intended nor directed at anyone by my original post, but since you wish to carry it this far, consider yourself re-offended.:shaking:
