The pictures are of all the flaws. The rest is beautiful, but I am going to try and get pics of the sides tomorrow. To be honest, it won't last long, but it is not sold yet. I am in Oakland, TN 38060. Jim Oh, I want It I thought it was going to be orly blue but for the price and a title I will take any color! What I meant by looking at it is" pick it up" I can come Saturday, do you need a deposit or payment before then? I am holding it until tomorrow for a gentleman in Seattle for $1.5k. BTW, it is Orly Blue.... (gee, I thought it wasnt sold yet?) Jim So I call Jim Finally after a few emails about Seattle and say what the xxxx? Is this an auction?Where am I inline? Now the price he tells me is up to 1.75k and the first one to wire the money gets it! What the hell do you think I was trying to do from the beginning. I would not send a dime to this guy he can't be trusted. This guy really sucks couse it would have bean a hell of a deal even at 2k but what else is he going to pull ? What else is he hiding ? Talk about bait and switch! Jeff E. Lilburn ,Ga. 87'WESTY Weekender (BOXOBLOX) 87'GL |
