i bought a digital camera on ebay (canon @ $225) that was paid for but the guy dropped off the face of the planet, so i never received it and i am out $225. And ebay makes it almost impossible to get your money back. Now i know what you're saying "Richard, I feel so bad for you. Mine was just a Porsche....but a DIGITAL CAMERA!!! You had to be pissed!" and yes i was. So take heart, someone had it worse off than you.
seriously though, congrats on your car! Someone (actually a former forum member) bought my precious ride on ebay, which i in turn bought from them 2 weeks later.
