Glad I did not buy those 968 mirrors from them off of Ebay. I was high bidder but did not meet THERE USUAL RESERVE then they sent a second offer. Looks like always post a reserve then offer them to the highest bidder. They make a game out of it instead of just selling things outright. I do not have time for that. Looks like thats not the only game they are playing.............

Here's their latest: "Low mileage" 968 motor on eBay....hmmm http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...QQcmdZViewItem

When will the madness end?
Will someone please ask them for the VIN# before I provide it and verify once again that the actual mileage is about 50k more than what is advertised? (Unless of course, the motor does NOT come from that particular 968 pictured).
Once again; known car, VIN#, mileage, etc.
This has been yet another public service announcement, and correct me if I'm wrong, but potential buyers need to know the truth.

What kills me is that they want $4K for a 968 motor so why do they waste people's time starting it out low and then it never reaches the reserve?

They had some really nice seats FS for a 944 and I tried to buy them. The auction started at $100 or so and I went up to a reasonable $250, but the reserve was never met, so I played their game and kept going. I had planned on going up find out what the reserve was and then retracting the bid. Well after $350 I stopped trying, who knows what the reserve was. From then on I never trusted them.

But come on, it has low miles
Yeah, I once sold a 968 motor for $4k, but it ACTUALLY HAD low mileage that was VERIFIABLE, and not just a made up #.
