You can nit pick it to death and perhaps miss out on a nice van. For me, this would be a stretch as I've only once spent more than 10K on a vw bus. Brings up an interesting question.....other than the vehicle being relisted, how do you know if the ebay sale went through? Can you tell I don't do the ebay thing?
