Sure you can "rationalize" that what ever you can get away with is fine. It's not.
We should be better than that.
If I were the buyer and the seller did not do the right thing, I'd take him to small claims court.
Agreed. Seller needs to refund the money. He got himself into a crappy situation by making a statement he didn't have the facts to back up. If he had said "wing bought, painted, and installed at Porsche dealer," he'd have a clear conscience and be free of wrongdoing. But he didn't. He advertised it as OEM, which it is not.

One of the things I most appreciate when dealing with fellow Rennlisters is their sense of honor. I am disappointed with deadhead1960. Not cool.

Deadhead.... We, the jury of your Rennlist peers, hereby find in favor of the buyer. We recommend that you take the TT tail back and refund the money in full......

Huh? What part of what I wrote inferred that?

I'm merely giving the seller a wide benefit of the doubt

And I'm neither taking the buyer's or seller's sides

However, if the seller doesn't step up to the plate and do what's right, and not necessarily in other people's eyes, then my man has to live with his choices

Excuse me I should have written "one can rationalize".
It was not directed at you.

Eire 993,
If you are still looking for an original TT tail/decklid and deadhead 1960 refunds you the money. Let me know, I have one in excellent condition you can have for the same amount, 1500.
Hope this helps you,
Thanks,
AL

I notice the seller is active on the 993 board. Was this cross posted there?

Thank you all for your research and interest in this situation. I would like to report that deadhead1960 and I have resolved the issue amicably and that I can now believe he is not a scammer.
