Talking about buying/selling vans on ebay has anyone looked at the suposed
1990 Turbo Diesel listed.  Round headlights, early 80's interior, can it
really be a 90???  I maybe wrong as I haven't had a chance to go and look
over the european market but it looks a little funny to me.

I have also bought things over Ebay, some turned out good, others bad.  The
only thing I really don't get about the whole thing is why some people
think they can actually sell some of the things listed for outrageously
high first bid prices.  Just because something is rare doesn't mean it has
high value.  Like asking 8-9K for a stock 82 diesel Vanagon with the
original engine.  Who cares if it is rare, it is not worth that much.
Especially if I found my stock 82 diesel van in the local paper and payed
$1100.  Maybe I should just put it on Ebay and make a cool 7k.
