Default Beware from you you buy from..

It is a shame that some sellers will not be honest as to the product they sell. I bought in good faith from Homegrown440 at his price :evil: two dominator carburatrers advertised as "JUST LIKE BRAND NEW" when in fact they were very used and in need of repair. The pictures were very selectively taken not to show true condition. I can not believe one would rip off a fellow Junk member in this way, but I guess the $$ rules.

True enough, just that you should be able to take a man for his word, but again, I guess the old $ will turn people like him to sin city......
