Do you believe this guy?

This guy is selling 2k2 headlights and he says

I found the lights in the Garage of my new house,

and this
only visible problem is in each light there is a plastic clip broken in the back

The guy selling it lives in NY/NY.


Smells fishy? What do you think?

Simply FU**ing incredible! I'm a newbie trying to move up in status and even I don't post that much crap. Actually I don't post that much crap in a service station restroom.

It may be fishy but does it matter? When buying parts off of someone I could care less where they come from as long as I get them...

How would you feel if you were the poor 2K2 owner who's HIDs were stolen?

C'mon, grow up.

Just to stay on-topic, yeah, selling and receiving stolen goods is illegal, and this definitely doesn't sound "legal" to me

WHAT?!?!

ARE YOU SERIOUS?! This attitude is the reason theft exists! So, you're saying if I bought a "questionably used" part that was stolen off your car, your attitude would be "oh well" and you'd replace your stolen part? I can hear it now, "I'd claim it on insurance and get a better part." That's no good either as it raises your (actually *everyone's*) insurance rates.

That's a pretty 5hitty attitude.

Even if he did find the lights....

Even if he did find the lights in his garage (which isn't likely) he should have called up the previous owner of the house and returned them, not sell them on eBay. He is stealing them regardless of whether he "found" them or not.

It makes a difference to me whether or not I knew the victim personally. For example, there was a 4-car accident on the AC Expressway at the Egg Harbor tolls and because of the rubber-necking or "gaper delay" as you folks call it down here, it was causing a 20-minute backup. One of the cars was a brand new Highlander and there was also a little boy crying. Did I feel bad, a little, but I needed to get home and the delay was inconvenient. Am I gonna lose sleep over someone's HID's? Not at all, about as much as you did when someone hit and run and damaged my rear 1/4.

Actually when you buy a house, you automatically own everything inside the house at the time of sale(unless specifically noted)

you make a good point, but at the same time... if you don't buy them.. someone else will. It's like buying parts used from a junkyard, there is a lot of shady junkyards that steal a lot of their parts of cars, or even steal cars and take them apart.. if you will question and suspect everything you'll never get a deal on something

that does sound weird.. i didn't look at the auction, but it takes a good imagination to even make up a story like that! lol.. so maybe he really did.. who knows.. But there are plenty of headlight-less TLs, Maximas and other factory HID equipped higher end cars riding around NYC right now..
