Let the buyer beware.

Post by: Macgraham on July 05, 2012, 03:39:26 PM: Don't feel bad, I got taken on a whole CJ3A on Craigs List. Those kind of hubs are really awsome if they are in good shape. Good luck in the future.

ï¿½I'm somewhat familiar with eBay selling and buying. ï¿½Most items sold on eBay have eBay Buyer Protection coverage. I think you can file a claim for 45 days after the purchase.ï¿½It will depend on how the hubs were listed. But eBay really protects the buyers. I'd check into it. Talk to a friend with some eBay savvy and you may get out from under your high-priced unserviceable hubs. The seller must have indicated that the hubs were in really good condition to bring that much money. I have seen several sell for less than $80 a pair. Good Luck!!!

It was listed as "Used and removed from CJ2A. Does'nt know if it is in working condition."

I took a chance. They was looking great on the picture...

I'll keep it a spare parts.
