YOU GUYS ARE MISSING THE POINT!
It does not matter whether you agree they are a 9 or not. It only matters that he bid on them anyway!
HE could have withdrawn his bid after he saw the pictures. He didn't!
He claims he didn't see the pictures. BULLSHIT. He ASKED FOR THEM! I HAPPILY AND QUICKLY provided them. NO DECEPTION, NO ATTEMPT TO HIDE THE TRUTH. PLAIN AS DAY.
AND He didn't offer to pay my fees. I'll post the damned email if you like.
For Christ's sake guys...IT'S ME!

The pic was NOT there when I bid, & I DID NOT SEE IT before the auction ended.

BULLSHIT!. You ASKED for the pics and I posted them. You really think that anyone here is going to believe that you wouldn't look at the pics when you specifically asked me to post them?
No one here is that gullable kid.
No surprise there.

the important part - the top - does in fact look great.
but - I can tell from the front pic that the backside has problems. when them little "bubbles" appear - that is where the front & back have seperated, or the back worn thru.
solid 9 out of 10? probably. but, I am basing this on how much better do you think is possible to find? I'm sure if I grabbed 20 random indy floormats - none of them would be as good as these. by that stat - absolutely 9 out of 10. if by raw pure unmitigated - yes - 7 out of 10.
my guess - them floormats got 35-40k miles on them

13k to be exact. The tops ARE nearly perfect. It is hard to see in the pics because the sun is behind and the heel area is in shadow. But to see the real thing you would swear they were new looking on the tops. The bottom is worn a bit but only because the rubber dries out after years and cracks easily when you start using them again.
These are VERY nice mats. I've owned 5 Indys and these are some of the best used mats I've had. Well worth the price.

ah, must be a manual trans then. but, yes - the shadow may be making the heel area look more worn than it is.

personally i think you guys need to spilt the ebay fee and be done with this.. clearly you guys are at an impass and that seems to be the only reasonable thing to do.. each of you did what you felt was right and now you are left wanting from the other because you both feel cheated... i dont know how much ebay fees are but assume they are alot lees than the price of the item.. so i say you guys split it down the middle and both walk away learning a lesson about buying and seeling (i am not saying either one of you guys are at fault) but there is something to be learned from everything and from this lovely parfait of fun you guys each learn to be more cautious of what your buying or who your selling to... case closed

How could HE feel cheated? He hasn't paid for anything. I am the one who is out $10 in ebay fees (listing fee, end of auction fee, and a relist fee).
All I want now is for the ass to shut up and go away.
I mean seriously, WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS THREAD? He isn't out anything! I'm the victim of a lazy schmuck who not only wouldn't remove his bid when I gave him the pictures he asked for but now has to start trying to bad mouth me because HIS definition of a "9" for a set of mats he HAS NEVER SEEN IN PERSON is different from mine.[This message has been edited by Toddster (edited 11-13-2007).]

post up the email where he asked for pics. If it is him then i say he had a chance to see them, if not then let him split the ebay fees and relist them it sounds like a fair deal

how's about he just buys them??
is the price bad? who thinks he will find better mats for a lessor price?
yes, I dont like the pic is posted the day before the auction ends - but they were posted before the end - and at the bidders request. all avenues to satisfy were used.

NOT SIDING !
True these ARE rare. ( no more reproduced) So the scale could very well be 1-20 with 9 on the lower scale of a rare item.
To me $75 for even heavily used Rare Indy mats is a great price. Where can you get new out of the box indy mats at?
If you bid on ebay, you MUST keep a watch on the bidding. good or bad. If you can not keep a watch of it till the end.....please don't bid!
And if he did ask for "more pics" that stuff should be done BEFORE a bid is made ( to be safe)
Unfortunely, The Driver should pay the $75 good or bad. If he does not like them when they get to the house, it is his right to re-sale them and "try" to get the $$ back or even most of it back.
Todd, I did notice that some of your shipping seemed kinda high (to me) on the few things I was looking at, that is why I did not bid on anything you had.That is my choice and the way it is and should be.
Bottom line even if both of you are pissed at each other, you should give a netural feedback to each other. ( we are all brothers on the Fiero Fourm) some brothers are meaner than others but......
Why hurt rateings when maybe BOTH of you could have done something different to help this sale in the first place.
