I bid on a set of Rhein alloys on that site. Got it above the reserve price and was outbid in the last minute. Bid on a set of Westfalia decals, also. Was again outbid at the last minute. Bid on an SA Grill. Bid it up past the reserve, and was outbid at the last minute. I wasn't getting a huge discount with the prices I was bidding at, but I was the only bidder in all three auctions until the last minute. I don't know if that's me being bad at auctions, an anonymous archnemesis of mine foiling my attempts to upgrade my Vanagon, or "something fishy going on," as you said. Probably me being bad at auctions. In any case, I stopped visiting them out of frustration... On their ZS Imports site, they show SA Sunburst alloys as being available. I never called, but I'd be curious to know if that's correct. Joe T.
