Default Need some purchasing advice.

Ok here is the deal I really want to buy this s2000 steering wheel for my car. It is posted on Import classifieds here

http://www.importclassifieds.com/cgi...tem=1021333538

The thing is this is also listed on ebay here

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eb...351486&r=0&t=0

Funny thing is they have the same pictures, same item description and both are offering the shift **** with the steering wheel. Seems a little fishy to me a little too much coincidence. Anyways, i email the seller on ebay and ask him if he is the same seller on import classifieds and he says no but he bought the guys car and is selling the wheel. Car found here

http://www.importclassifieds.com/cgi...tem=1021798786

Here is what i have trouble comprehending. If you notice the Wheel sold on import classifieds is sold by the same guy selling the car on import classifieds. I asked him questions about the wheel and he responded as if he was selling it. How can 2 different people have it and how does the guy on ebay have it if the car is still up for auction? Let me know what you guys think I really want this steering wheel but man does this sound fishy or what??

If it doesn't feel right don't do it, better safe then sorry, also looks to me that cars still for sale... not only that but the steering wheel is advertised as part of the package.. seems way too weird to me. I wouldn't chance it.

maybe a scam or a stolen pics.
People on Ebay steal pics all the time.
Someone even stole my JDM recaro pics to see on e-bay

the seller on import classifieds "Phobichnga" is a user here. I remember when he put pictures of that wheel here.

The desriptions are the same, so I would bet the sellers are the same. Doesnt seem very weird to me. People post stuff for sale in multiple places all the time.

I would only place a bid on ebay though. You are actually protected there and protected by a company that has been in business for a while. I wouldnt trust import classifieds to protect you.
