Default Re: So, was I in the wrong for trying to educate the 3bay seller?

As a practical matter, IMO, many used car dealers selling on eBay
game their environment for their best advantage. Perhaps there's nothing wrong with misstating the model or detailing one aspect of the restoration as exact while ignoring a wood windshield frame or slipping in phantom bids. Clitkon has the experience and the eye for Model A's as most of you do (I do not). Telling the dealer that he has an opinion about the "truth" of the adverstisement is certainly as Amercian as apple pie. My take is that yaztecautoga is a little thin skinned while protecting his turf and his grand 2 million dollar inventory. Yet, Brent is right that the eventual buyer will decide what's right for his own garage. There are way too few people like you all that know the difference between a Traveler and a station wagon and way too many who sell cars based on a misstatement.
