I totally took the picture and when I saw the auction I worried for a few moments I had a ebay "hacker". Someone in Austrialia recently had used my account to put up DVD movie sales.

But no just another ebay seller using my picture. lol

gotta love ebay

I just posed this question to the seller:
"Are these your pictures of the manual?
I have information from elsewhere on the internet these are not your pictures.
Can you confirm or deny this claim?
Comments?
Regards,
ztnoo

It will be interesting to see #1, if I get a reply, and #2, if the seller claims these are his photos.

Oh wait I shoulda checked.

I just sold him that manual.

I guess he is either, making copies or selling it off.

I'll email him see if he didnt like the manual or what.

Ain't capitalism great???
From Frisco to southern IL.......then on to another location, possibly.
It's a feeding frenzy.......and it doesn't get any nuttier than it gets on eBay.

His response:
"LOL Not the information I needed, time to recupe my loss."

So i asked him what model or car he has, I told him that there is probably a manual online somewhere.

See if we can help this guy out.

I'm watching the manual, curious how much it will sell for now.

They usuall sell for 20 bucks or less, he bid at 27.00 shipped.

On the other hand the rest of my aucitons that i had up at the same time sold for much less than market.

It's a love/hate relationship

I ended up getting a full refund as he never stated it was a copy and not an original.
I just picked up a '73 so I guess I'll look around for another one and try not to be a Wink sucker about it.
