Default Gary's GTO GOODIES

I don't get it. I was bidding on in this auction 4592288022 sold for $820 and the very next day it's up for auction again 4594040323. I emailed him to ask if this was the same bumper and he has yet to respond (this was 2 days ago). He also had this item for sale 4592286837 which sold for $600, but now it's back again 4594040456. I guess it's possible that he has more than one of these items, but just doesn't seem right. I may be wrong though.

Default garys goodies

he got me on a pair of grilles for a 66 gto, the pictures looked great and what I got was junk, hope you have better luck than I did, I tried to get money back but it was useless, the feedback is what I don't get, I have not checked in a while but it was pretty good when I bought the grilles, short story he was a jerk, good luck

Do a search on Gary's GTO Goodies and you will see that you are not the only one.

My understanding of why they all look the same is he uses File photos meaning a photo of the same part over and over. Seems to be the consensus....stay away from him.

Yup, I'm thinking I'm gonna have to skip this auction. I don't want to get burned. Such a nice bumper though. Thanks for the advice guys..

Another thing with his auctions. They are all private, so maybe one of his other accounts/friends won the auction. He does seem to move alot of stuff, so he may have more than one, but the private auctions scare me aware.

There are many businesses on Ebay that use private auctions to protect bidders. The bottom feeders of society seem to have latched onto those conducting regular business on Ebay to scam bidders. Before switching to private auctions our bidders received numerous "second chance" offers that appeared to be from us, but were not. There is also a high frequency of people contacting bidders to say they have the exact same thing and will sell it for half the price outside of Ebay. Unsuspecting people looking for a bargain send money but never get the parts.

He definitely uses file photos. If you ever want to see the actual '69-'72 windshield washer motor and pump that is in his file photo, let me know. I'll give you the POS for free, complete with the cracked pump cover. This guy is a master at taking photos to hide the defects. Once you receive the POS and notice all of the imperfections, you can just about make them out in the picture. I love his "show car restored" items that were plated at the factory but "restored" with spray paint. If I could find a car show like that, I might actually win a trophy.
