ABOUT ME AND THE CAM EBAY AUCTION

[sciroccin@softhome.net (Sciroccin)]

Man, I really wanted to stay out of this, but what the hell...

I absolutely agree with Steffan.  As an avid eBayer (pez18), I looked over
his auction and I do not see where he did anything wrong or why anyone even
had to address this.  He simply stated the facts and description of his cam.
There is nothing misleading saying that you will gain any amount of extra
horsepower.  Crap, I have basically seen auctions that said with this
(insert sticker here), you will gain 3-5 hp.  Now there is something to
complain about.  Why does anyone even feel the need to get up in his
business about this?  I think his feedback speaks for itself.  If you want
it buy it, if you don't just keep on surfing the eBay wave.
