Look at the main photo, then scroll down to see what he is ACTUALLY selling.

Hardly a Scam.

Anyone that bids on an item based on the picture alone without looking at the Listing itself is a little naive and rather foolish.

It is pretty obvious what style grill he is actually selling :/

But Its not like he is hiding what grille is actually for sale.
If he had included the gallery picture again in the listing and said you will receive a 94/95 grille and not mentioned anything about it being different, then, yeah a scam... but as it is no...

I realise it is a different grill mate, but if i'm looking for something, i would hardly be looking at the main pciture then going straight to "BUY IT NOW" we would ALL read the main body of the advert.

Misleading, absolutley, but a scam??....

Hardly a scammer, he is just inept at worst by showing a newer classic grille as the main pic.
