bergpanzer was my first and only bad experience from eBay in 15 auctions.  I
was successful bidder on a Vanagon Diesel Oil Pan (see
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1871929544 ).

He warned in his auction to "Please ask questions before you bid!"  Alas, I had
neglected to ask if the "1982 VANAGON DIESEL OIL PAN ALUMINUM GREAT!" had ever
been cracked and a repair attempted.  My bad.  I decided I would learn from the
experience rather than get all bent out of shape.  But since you asked ...

"Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me."  I will never buy
from him again.
