Now I also look at it like this on ebay. if I had "won" the auction,
and showed up, and decided the boat was really misrepresented, there
would be no money exchanged, then what could the seller do? leave me
bad feedback?

Sounds to me like you have a very reasonable strategy.

Well Ernest, it's worked pretty good for me.

Thanks!


I bought my boat from a guy in Brookings, OR. 400 miles from here. He sent
me pics and I gave him a deposit via credit card and a stipulation that it
had to be as advertised. Drove up for the 4th of July weekend and looked
at the boat, test drove the boat, and gave him a check for the rest of the
price and towed it home.
