While making a mistake like that may be somewhat embarrassing, it is courageous of you to tell us about it with the hope of helping someone else to avoid it. Thank you very much. John Robles

Turned out to be a 67 corvette, I think there was even a song about it. I always wondered if that would happen on ebay. A week ago Sunday, A Victor I was posted on ebay for $330.00 but it now. As my heart began to pound, I couldn't believe I was the first, and "those who snooze loose" motto popped in my head. I checked out the photo's and the unit was in mint condition. I immediately purchased it which began a roller coaster of emotions. The other motto of "if its too good to be true, it usually it" also reared it truth of reality. I checked his ebay and history and there was none. A tracking number was given and DPD (out of Germany) had no record of this number. The person was also from Lithuania! The phone number given was also bogus. I sent four emails asking for verification and to no avail, no response! The good news was that I alerted paypal. They said that they agreed that this most likely was a fraudulent sale, and I would be guaranteed that I would receive a full refund. We have to wait, there's a 1% chance he might still send it, but paypal has to wait 30 days (time limit for the seller to send the package). I made a huge mistake and let my emotions get the best of common sense. I hope my mistake will be of help to my phono friends.
