That T-Ram Intake On Ebay...

T-Ram on eBay

It has to be the uniqueness of it. To state that; "It's on par with the Super-Ram, and Stealth-Ram"... and for the bidding to reach over one thousand dollars, I mean come on.

Unless someone is restoring a 91-92 Firehawk, their literally throwing their money away. I'm not even that big of a fan of it's distinctive look.... it kinda reminds me of a hammer-head shark.

As far as bidding goes, you have to know what the value is, of the piece your bidding on. To many crooks on there bidding on there own ****. IM not in anyway saying this is whats happening here just that it does happen.

I know of one company that bids on there own stuff till the price is right.

Yea, Lets say a guy puts a manifold on E-Bay, and starts the bid at $49.00. He feels its worth an easy $200.00, but on the last day, and last minutes of bidding, it only gets to $100.00. He has his buddy bid over the winning bid, so he doesnt let it go for less than its actually worth to the seller. Happens all the time. Always someone goin against the grain.

Yup it happened to me kind of.......I found ORIGINAL Firehawk centercaps(91-92) on ebay last month and I was outbid at the last moment by A zero feedback bidder.........two days later that bidder had -7 for feedback and the seller would not reply to my emails.......

Not too hard to figure it out. Especially when he did not respond to the e-mails either. There is always someone that knows how to get around things. I would imagine the -7 feedback was from the sellers fake account, or maybe a friends?
