Default ebay purchases finally one is right

I hope this is the right place for this thread. As I read my Marti report I discovered the original owner must have fancied the cool console for the ole 67 Vert! So he installed it.
Being the pain in the hiney that "I" am.......this all original survivor needed to stay 'original'. So I pulled the console and I've searched ebay for 3 months to find the correct shifter base for the correct bezel.

I received said bezel and base and shifter handle all to my amazement EXACTLY as described!!!!!! UNLIKE everything else I've bought off ebay.

congrats to some Mustang guy out there being HONEST. I paid a HIGH price....but it is well worth the item I've received.

so if ya know this guy.....

I am happy for you. I know how hard it is to find the right part. It is almost like Christmas when you open that box up and finally find what you really wanted. Almost like being a kid again. Remember how excited you got when your mom or dad said that they had a present for you.

i've been fortunate enough to have some pretty good luck buying things from ebay but the risk is def. high of opening the box and seeing something that doesn't look like the pretty picture on the site at all.

I've done a bit of buying on Ebay the past several years, about 400 transactions now. I've only had problems with 2 that I remember.

I'm picky with who I deal with and if something doesn't seem right with the seller then I pass. There have been things I've wanted but passed on due to this but being overly careful has seemed to pay off.

Yeah it's changed a lot though, I moved about 1985 to Texas and have been here since. I use to get back once a year....but work keeps me from visiting as often unfortunately.
