i know its not g but i was wondering if i could have some help. full story is i bought these... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3...

for my dads car, i thought i was only going to get the one mirror that i specified. ive recieved the items today and got both, and messaged the seller in my surprise! he has since messaged back saying there was a mistake and he only meant to send one. does the advery specify one or both mirrors, therefore meaning i was supposed to get both. i know its a silly error to make on my part, but i just would like a clear translation of the ad before i send one of them back.

Thanks,

Tom

p.s what ever the result, im still quids in as the 120 paid is much less than the 600-700 each from merc dealers over here!

Re: help...

Looks like he is advertising both to me, Left and Right, A Pair, if it was an English seller he would be chancing it to just send 1 after advertising them together, I wouldn't let him off just cos hes German. Cheers Alex

Hi Tom, I don't think he would have just sent one after that advert but when you mailed him he must have been blinded by Euro signs and tried his luck! Only human i suppose but still trustworthy for the future.

Re: help...

cheers cliff for the translation, and thanks to the others as well. i know where i stand then, so i ended up paying 125 for two opposed to the 1500 i would pay at a stealer, great to know!

Re: help...

Also huge respect to Tom for his honesty in the first place......I reckon most people would have just accepted the two and said nothing to the seller.....well done fella.

Re: help...

Tom, Babelfish or not, there is no doubt in my mind that he is advertising and selling two mirrors, not one.

(I worked in Germany as a Trainee Wirtschaftsprüfer or Chartered Accountant and though it was ages ago, I still can understand a we bit of German)

Cheers
