ebay rant... i'm a determined buyer....
ok, i just need to complain about my situation to someone... so here goes, tuesday night i won an ebay auction for an 88 ford bronco XLT, $355 and only needs a fuel pump, i bought the truck to rebuild my '96 eddie bauer bronco which had a major engine fire. but now the seller still hasnt responded to me about where i have to pick up the 88(all i know is in bohemia NY), and i sent payment through paypal already. Im not concerned about the money, i know ill get it back through paypal if theres a problem, BUT i WANT that 88 bronco!!!!!, its all the parts i need. So i got the sellers contact info and phone number and today i called it, surprise surprise, its a fax number. I got home and with the wonders on the internet, I traced the number back to a auto sales place in NY, also in bohemia,(ok so thats apparently where the truck is) anyway i also traced the sellers name to a residential address along with a phone number, that address is 6 miles from the auto sales place and its a very uncommon name so i can bet its the same guy, now the question is, whats the best time to call his house and be like "ok man whats going on wheres my truck?" haha  i love the internet, anyway on sat i'm going to the sales place and GETTING my truck
