[Roadsters] '63 1500 Description Comments from Newbie

[Seth Asher]

>obviously the rules changed
.....Did they?  Just because you were under the impression of something,
doesn't mean it's changed.  Your impression about the ebay rules was wrong.
The rules have been this way for at least 5 years.  Were you very active on
ebay more than 5 years ago compared to your activity level these days?  :-)

>acting like he has known it all of his life.
......Sounds like you are really reading in to it a whole lot.  And It clearly
has explanations on the bottom indicating that's not the case. Anyone bidding
would read the entire description.

>When the buyer of this car finds out he paid too much for this paticular 1500
it give us all a bad name with him.
......Sounds like you are trying to get the car at a lower price for yourself.

>Your original craigslist ad said ""It is a family heirloom with which I must
part...that
......I never posted a craigslist ad.

I was under the impression you could revise a description, obviously the rules
changed.  I do have an issue withe the following statements in the description
coming from someone that has owned the car for 2 weeks:

If a new driver drives the car, he or she might say the car pulls slightly
sometimes to the left or right when you brake (not every newbie, just
some)...I drive the car enough such that I don't notice this if it occurs, as
I must compensate/anticipate for it subconciously if these newbies are indeed
correct.

The car is very solid and is used at least once a week, and is very reliable.

The battery doesn't have to be disconnected so it doesn't drain it, even if it
stays unused for weeks


The guy is repesenting the car as an original 46 year old car, acting like
he has known it all of his life.  This car has all of the hard to find 1500
parts missing, the wrong top and frame, and electrical issues stemming from
the fact that it is a positive ground car that has been wired up backwards.
I know this because I have had 1500's for a long time.  All years, all
models, all varations.  I know what happens when you do something wrong with
them, I know the side trim is impossible to get,  I know the emblems are
$200 each,  I know people have bought whole cars just for the hub caps.
When the buyer of this car finds out he paid too much for this paticular
1500 it give us all a bad name with him.
