Court? that's a joke. Not worth the time,effort or money. I learned that lesson years ago with a Rolex I purchased at a store. Long story short, the owner of the store wanted more money (after I had paid for it). I contacted everyone and their mother...including the state's AG. I was pretty much told the battle was not worth it. So I took my lumps (and my refund) and moved on.......the irony to my story is that the owner of the store was killed a couple of years later by a hitman in broad daylight. Apparently he was a dirty business man...Karma is a bit*h
Rey, an eBay auction IS a contract. It would be legally binding if you chose to test it in court. The 930 I didn’t list on BaT went to a dealer on consignment, and yes, we signed a contract. A legally binding contract. Silly me to just assume that BaT conducted business properly.

For those trying to figure out which car, this is it, just search for his handle...

I’d have to say the seller probably felt short changed with the BaT rah-rah cheerleading posse, you know the ones that think every car is worth way more than they really are. All of those post hammer congrats probably killed the sale. Which is why you obviously need a damn contract with the sellers.
