I hate when people pass off aftermarket stuff as factory NOS.

This auction is currently on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Amphi...962-1964-1965-
1966-1967-rat-

Now the guy does have a very high 100% rating so I figured he saw a
picture of an Amphi with these and figured they were NOS. I thus sent
him a note pointing out that they are not, that they are an
aftermarket substitute that will apparently work but are not NOS.

Today I see he updated his shipping info but no mention of the fact
that these indeed may not be NOS parts.

Buyer beware. No point paying top $$$ for something you can get in
the JC Whitney catalog.

Also getting annoying is the keyword spamming. I'm really tired of having dozens of wire harness and lens ads clogging my eBay searches. I periodically report the egregious spammers, but eBay doesn't seem to care about that anymore.
