Re: The Fleese-Bay Jack Ass Of the Week!
guys,
i view ebay as just another tool in the toolbox. handy when you need it. sometimes it is less expensive in the long run to buy an entire assembly to get what you want and sell off the excess. in this case an entire ripped up seat with the brackets might have been a better deal, then sell the excess pan etc.
i view antique original parts as any other comodity, gold, gas, silver, copper etc are all going up in value due to the devaluation of the dollar.
i have not seen any downward trend at the swaps in the last 3 years either. you would think people would be converting their stash into cash at lower prices.
but not so.

Re: The Fleese-Bay Jack Ass Of the Week!
I love all the seller's "disclaimers". Wow, you mean I can't ask you a fitment question? Your selling it, and you should be familiar with the part, right?
Yeah, gotta love ebay..... and this is yet another example of a seller I'd rather not buy anything from.

I bought parts from this guy, I was happy.
With all the disclaimers you might think he is running a scam but his feedback is excellent.

Point made Jerry. Yes, the 2 page disclaimer has always made me think scam, or total a-hole.....
