After long ago convincing myself it was foolish to buy a car from pictures on ebay, I insisted on seeing one that was near enough for me to visit. The seller made it almost impossible, avoiding me until the last moment, with just enough time to see the car and perhaps phone someone to make the bid. Even the directions were misleading, and the seller was "too busy" to meet me at the car but I could call him after I arrived.

Just as well. The pictures of the car were just fuzzy enough and angled such that all the lies in the description weren't obviated. A "rust-free" rustbucket. Then while I was crawling around the rockers, the owner of the parking lot property stopped to ask me if I knew how to find the owner of this abandoned vehicle. I sent some real pix of the car's fatal flaws to the second highest bidder with my condolences for the winner of the auction.
