I agree, Joel is a straight shooter and won't do ya wrong.

No problems dealing with Joel in the past.

Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes I'm just a little too untrusting sometimes. I'm old school. I like to see the guy I'm dealing with and touch what I want to buy. If everyone was as honest as apparently this seller is I would not have any problem buying on line.

Bob,

My experiences from eBay are usually this.

If I am buying from the EBay Packard vendors (like Joel) that only sell Packard parts. Then they know their stuff, and wont steer you wrong.

If you are buying a part for an individual, or someone that is selling parts many different makes of cars, then you are are taking a crap shoot unless they can provide detailed pictures and the actual part number.

Sometimes I have found deals of the century because someone misidentified a part, and because of that no one was interested in it or found it. But I was able to ID it from the picture, and snatch it up cheaply.

Also look at the persons percentage rating on Ebay, and the negative feedback they may have. That is usually how you can filter the good sellers from the bad.

Kev, Speaking of parts put into the wrong category on ebay I bought a 51 Cormorant hood ornament from a seller for $24.00 that was not listed under ebay motors. The plating was beautiful and it had almost no pitting. Mine was the only bid.
