    Default How Dodge is this.

    Was on ebay saw this ttp://cgi.ebay.com.au/HSV-CLUBSPORT-R8-VT-VX-CHROME-BOOT-MOULD-ONLY-NEW_W0QQitemZ190045890163QQihZ009QQcategoryZ102358 QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting and thought wow how good is this....... until i read the fine print and saw it was just the chrome strip. How dodge would u be to have a pic of the whole garnish there. Nearly fooled me but i feel sorry for the next poor sap. Why isnt there rules about making it 100% clear what your selling in the orginal pic? Or am i just being pickie? haha

    yeh, its like there was a guy a while ago with a pic of a vn 5ltr motor, he was selling just separate bits off it, but every listing was the pic of the motor.

    yeh
    its around alot these days, but not just on ebay
    people try and sell an item, but show a picture of it, with better items around it to make a buyer look at it and say, hey that looks good.
    i got stooged when buying door handles from ebay. the pics showed they were chrome, i got the door handles. but it was only the trim
    it was false advertising also tho

    Just takes a bit of reading to work out what you're actually going to be paying for.

    I wouldn't exactly call him dodgy, i brought my VX garnish off him and i'd recommend him to anyone thats looking at buying something from him. I don't know if he's changed his wording since then, but when i clicked on the link it says in brackets: (Chrome boot mould only). And it lists the garnish for $220 and other parts too.

    And yes i agree with you on he should only show the chrome strip not the whole garnish as well
