Message: [QUOTE="jski, post: 219225, member: 22603"] I have to agree about the feedback to a certain extent. For example about 6 months ago my brother bought a 97 KTM 50 for $650.00 that was advertised as perfect. Well bike was far less then perfect and seller never shipped paperwork as promised. I told my brother not to buy this because the guy had sold 10+ bikes over 3 months and even though he did not have negative feedback most of the feedback was from users with 0 feedback. Well to make a long story short my brother left him negative feedback and then he turned around and left my brother the same even though my brother wire transferred the money the day he won the auction saying he tried to back out. I now have the bike in pieces, no serial numbers on the bike, no paperwork, lots of JB weld holding it together, wrote a letter to ebay with a copy of the ad and pics, talked to NY state DMV and attorneys office net result the guy was suspended from ebay for 2 weeks and is selling junk again and has burned other people as well. Don't get me wrong I have bought other items on ebay and had good experiences but I think that ebay is looking after its own interests and putting the consumer last when it comes to protecting you from fraud. So I would carefully evaluate feedback before buying any big ticket item. [/QUOTE]
