Epic fail on ebay:

Seller lvlpawn lists a Snapon mini toolbox and buyer mikebound82 pays $299 for it, not picking up on the word "MINI", and later finds out it's a plastic toy replica.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/170776135846

After leaving neutral feedback for the seller, saying he's not pleased with the item, mikebound82 turns around and relists it, but without the all-important word mini in the description. He starts the bidding at $299 hoping to get his money back. 33 bids later the toy box is sold for $10,100.03

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/261002062533...62533&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1

Somebody's gonna be pissed when their new toolbox shows up in the mail.


Edit: The seller got punked. The guys over at yellowbullet bid it up with fake accounts to protect the unsuspecting bidders.

I'm liking that 7K Tach with the small fuel guage in it alot. Keeping my eye open for a cheap one to steal when the right truck is found. Those are found in C60's and up huh???

You need to get one like I got HR, well worth the $200 considering a factory tach clusters are $125 or more with no guaranty that they will work, not to mention possible repinning or tach repair of $100 or more. Over the counter universal tachs are $60 or more and you still have to figure out where to mount it where it will look good and no be in the way.

You're not kiddin !!! I say $8000 is a sale price, and he'd do good to $10,000. Sad part is about Squares guys, they are cheap and easy to work on for the most part, but for all your time, energy, love, passion and sweat you put into them, you will NEVER come close to getting it back. If it stayed in this condition, his grand kids might get that someday. You shoulda see this nice 85 a guy bought off a car lot for $8000. It got stolen the 6th day he owned it. And even with all the pics, the receipts for the stereo system and tires he put in it and on day 2, He got $4500 value - his $500 deductible. He bitched and moaned and ended up with $5200 and that included the deductible, so that raised his valuation to $5700 and the insurance co made it clear they were doing him a favor and only because he was a long time customer and they felt sorry for him. They even invited him to take them to court but promised he'd get much less and then with attorney fees even less. The guy was out $2300 + $1200 in tires and stereo system, and get this, he still had to pay tag title and tax to get the title in his name of the insurance co didn't have to pay ****. I got to see the truck, sit in, play with it and all for a day. You could eat off the BOTTOM of that truck. All set up with Big Block, all chrome and polished aluminum. Nicest Square I've personally been able to touch and sit in myself by far.
