Somethings not right with this ebay auction

This looks like one of the auction from the Turbocastking, I swear its even the same pics from an auction awhile back. The seller has no feedback and the location is USA, hmm.. I'm not going to say its a scam but something seems fishy to me.

Re: Somethings not right with this ebay auction

I agree. So, which is it? Used, new, off of an '82, or NOS stock from old dealership? He uses all of those descriptions.

Re: Somethings not right with this ebay auction

Legit auction or not, I would never buy something that expensive on Ebay from someone with zero feedback.

Re: Somethings not right with this ebay auction

I would never spend that kind of dough from a newbie, did you notice he states the finish is "cloth"

Yeah and he talks about international rates and shipping more than just regular shipping. $115 for shipping. Wow!

I like the NOS brand new, taken off a 82 firebird. Sorry don't have the car anymore. Well if they are new why were they on the car?

Re: Somethings not right with this ebay auction

Hard to believe those things are worth money. When those cars came out those capped wheels were sure not popular.
