Yeah-what Jeff said! I have a friend who's bought and sold several cars on the internet (and eBay)-including his present 1964 Spitfire and 2 1957 Urals!
In fact, I know several people who have bought and sold various vehicles on eBay over the past few years-I think only one of them was unhappy (and it wasn't his first eBay purchase either.) I almost bought a Triumph Tiger Cub Motorcycle off eBay a month ago-I just didn't get a check in time to be able to bid on it. Damn!
