Lee,
I bought my BN1 a few years ago from a fellow who had advertised it on
eBay without getting a single bid. A week later I sent an email
asking if the car was still for sale. We exchanged emails, offers and
counter offers, 35 photos and phone calls, and after verifying that he
was indeed a reputable dealer in vintage cars (owns an active
dealership in St. Louis), we came to an agreement. He got his check
and I got my Healey. We were both pleased with the transaction. I
still am. We still exchange emails now and then. Nice to make new
friends.

I bought my 1962 BT-7 Tri-carb off EBay, but I flew to San Francisco
and
drove to Stockton to make sure it was what had been advertised. I
actually
wanted to get out of the deal, but the low account, no good seller had
it
sitting in the driveway all polished and shiny with the top down.
I didn't have a chance...
