I'm pretty sure I wouldn't our whole police force spending thier entire time catching people who rip off people on ebay.

Seriously, am I missing something??
Frankly having our police catching people on ebay would be a wonderful thing. They could fine the assmunchers and pay for itself. I have never bought anything on Ebay for this reason, just too easy to get ripped off (and I have heard too many stories from people I know). If you where a foreign terrorist that wanted to raise money, there is no easier way to get money and ruin confidence in an american company than on-line fraud.

The real problem is that people in other counties use real U.S. addresses and such (from the unsuspecting) and then rip people off and there is nothing you can do. And yes Paypal is a piece of shit company with no controls, process, caring for their own G.D business. Even after it was taken over by Ebay it still hasn't got much better.

Behold the power of S2KI ... I GOT THE CONSOLE TODAY!!

Thank you to Bass, cthree, and all who posted and encouraged me to take action.

It looks like the seller got the console in the mail quick, after receiving my PM outlining all of the good suggestions you guys gave me.

Tha bad thing is that it looks like the center console was buried underground, or something. There is dirt impacted into every dimple and crevice, and the rubber all around the shifter area is hopelessly discolored.

I've got some pretty good ideas about how to fix it up, though.

Thanks again, everyone!!
