Default Carefull of this eBay Seller if looking for carb parts.

I put a bid on a carb gasket kit for $35 (seams fair)
The item was at $20 and the auction ran till the end.
Then he tells me he accidentally deleted my bid by
accident removing someone elses bid on another
auction and to try again. So I bid again and waited.
It never went above the $20 at the close of auction.

Then the auction ends and I was out bid by $.25
He them magically offers the kit as a 2nd chance
because the other bidder did not pay (5 min after
the close of the auction!)
He gave me a buy it now at my maximum previous bid price!
What a tool! Fishing for high bids on low selling items I guess.

The seller was called underthehood07005
and all he sold was carb rebuild kits.

They should have feed back for this kind of crap!

Well, the guy made another offer to make good on the sale.
I'm skeptical, but his 2nd email made more sense than the
first one, apparently he sold the 1st kit and looked arround
and found a 2nd kit. I need it bad enugh I guess I'll have
to consider using him if I cant find another.

Man I hate auctions, I wish everything just had a set price on it.
Wish me luck.
I hope I was wrong about the guy.

I've done what he did several times when I have had more then one of an item, most of the time the 2nd buyer bought it, but you have to explain in the original 2nd chance offer that you did in fact have more then one.

Yeah I feel kinda bad as I might take him up on his offer
He was kinda vague, in telling me what went on,
and I had red flag ebay warnings all over the place.
It still seamed kinda shady the way it went down.

If I have a good experiance I'll eat my words
and give him a praise. He might be OK I think
sellers ned to communicate with more than just 5 words though.
