I just bought this grill, but when I got it It was heavily scratched bent and the tabs were broken/bent. Now by reading the description would you have guessed that it was damage like that?

Have you asked him about it or complained? The only thing the auction says is USED. It doesn't really say much about condition

This is what I said to him: "Did you forget to mention a few things about this grill? Such as that is was heavily scratched, tabs being broken, and bent? This is listed as used, I consider this item as damaged. "

Waiting to hear back from him.

By looking carefully I see a bent on the left. A good lesson as buying stuffs on ebay is asking, asking and asking when the seller doesn't have clear description (sometimes don't deal with them).

In this case you might loose the battle since he stated "If you have any questions please ask" but WTH just try to complain to Ebay, Paypal, and even your CC company. Goodluck.

Venom: Thanks for the link.

I may come off sounding like a pr!ck....but what do you expect for $30 when they normally go for over $100.

this is why i'm wary of buying things off ebay...

It looks like I ran over it with my 2500HD at about 40mph

Yep, you can see that it's damaged in the pic.

You need to ask alot of questions before the purchase. When you ask the questions you have to do it through eBay also. If you don't, it doesn't matter.

Finding good sellers on eBay seems to be getting harder and harder all the time. I am going to lose my ass on a complete convertible top. The seller stated over and over that it was in perfect condition and that it would not be damaged during shipping.

They put it on a pallet and the top hung over on both sides. They protected the top with STRETCH WRAP! Needless to say it was heavily damaged during shipping. Not to mention the fact the the inside of the top is trashed, everything is completely rusted, and it was also already damaged BEFORE they shipped it.

They lost the PayPal dispute but shipping is still $200. Ugh.
