Total jag. If you go to his web site the ad specifically says "numbers matching" and "400 HO". It amazes me how someone like this could stay in business.

The first question says the ad states that the engine is original, then one of the last answers, he says they never claimed it was the original motor. Is that possible - original motor and not matching numbers?

Here's the eBay posting: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pontiac-GTO-...US_Cars_Trucks

This has never proven to be a good business model.

I asked for the phs or documents re that car the first time it was on ebay. Any minute he's going send it to me, he promised it's only been a month or two. yeah right, any day now.

In the question I asked him, I put my phone number for him to call me, he then posts it in the question for all to see. When I commented Thanks for putting my personal contact info out there publically, the only response I got back was "your welcome". What a piece of work.

Has anyone who is seriously interested in the car gotten their own clean copy of PHS themselves? Larry either does not have it, or refuses to post it.

One sure clue to the "borkers" level of competency is his electronic mush-mouth. Nothing sends me up the wall faster as a vendor than some twit sending an email with text-type grammar/spelling. No, you oaf; n =/= and, nor does u = you.

Just stop it. I am not expecting prose worthy of an Oxford doyen, but at least rise to the level of junior high school English...

That guy looks like a real tool. You better delete your post so he doesn't sue you as well

I guess I'm not really clear on the slander and wrecking the sale factor.....no one's making him answer the questions publicly on the auction, so the only reason anyone knows about all the issues with the documentation and these accompanying "slanderous" comments is because he's posting them to the ad so what's his angle for doing that?

Why look for a complicated answer to that when "stupid" serves just as easily and is probably close to the truth?

I think he honestly believes that he's making them look stupid with his razor wit.

if you didn't get the documents yet, then obviously, you didn't send him the "small refundable deposit" first. not sending the deposit, sends up the "big red flag of a tire kicker". they just don't have the time to deal with tire kickers.

The "seller dashboard" on ebay will strongly prompt/urge/encourage you to answer all questions as they come in.
Depending on settings - you will also get pop-ups and various notifications to answer them.

The guy probably doesn't know he can un-check the box not to post Q&A.

He doesn't seem very polished in any form of business or communicating.
