[6pack] Fwd: [TR] eBay TR6 Caveat Emptor

[Jack Mc]

I've purchased 6 Triumphs on eBay and never been burned. But 2 of them I had
seen in person and new exactly what I was getting. The other 4 were cheap
enough that I really couldn't get burned. You do have to be VERY careful, but
few people are really as deliberately misleading as this guy.

Cheers,
Jack Mc
