I have an old tail or trunk light, but don't know what kind of car or year of car it comes from. (Could be from the 40's or 50's) The car part # is CB-13518 II 1149302 DG (that's the metal part of the unit). The lens is glass and has the # CB 13529 and L. L. Co. 2622. Anyone have an idea??

imagine that ... hot links AGAIN not working!!
Yup, another IMPROVEMENT move no doubt on eBay's part or else the genius engineers wearing sandals to work are on strike for yet more lost US worker money. Pick all your listing preferences for specific Ebay Motors products for sale and get a total of 25 items per page. Then scroll the first page and try and click to page 2 ... nope, not happening. So, all those poor sellers whose items would have shown on pages 2

Cash for Clunkers Ending Monday
Really! We mean it this time! Rush right down and buy a car! Link Appliance manufacturers now want their own rebate program to replace older appliances with newer, more energy efficient ones. From WSJ: US Program Will Offer Rebates For Household Appliances * By Bob Tita Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES CHICAGO (Dow Jones)--Appliance manufacturers are counting on a "cash for clunkers"-type rebate program to revive slumping sales of refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers. Beginning late this fall, federal rebates will be available for purchasers of high-efficiency household appliances, furnaces and air-conditioning systems. Congress authorized $300 million for the program earlier this year as part of the federal economic-stimulus bill. After seeing the recent surge in new-car orders attributed to the federally funded clunkers program, appliance industry executives are hoping to lure consumers back into appliance store showrooms with rebates that are expected to reach $200 on some types of appliances. "It's a good way for the consumer to get back into the marketplace," said J.B. Hoyt, director of governmental relations for Whirlpool Corp. (WHR), the world's largest producer of household appliances by revenue. "Clearly, anything that boosts business is good for us." Whirlpool has been pushing for such a program for years. The 2005 energy bill included an authorization for $300 million over six years for energy-efficiency rebates on appliances. That authorization was never funded, but in the 2009 stimulus bill, the entire $300 million was authorized. Appliances covered by the program include dishwashers, washing machines and refrigerators. They must carry Energy Star ratings, indicating they meet energy-efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy. To qualify for rebates, buyers won't have to trade in older, less-efficient models, which is a key component of the car program. Appliances made by companies based overseas will be eligible for the rebates if they have the Energy Star label. In 2008, about 55% of newly produced major household appliances qualified for the Energy Star designation, according to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers in Washington. Whirlpool, Electrolux (ELUXY), General Electric Co. (GE) and other appliance companies are mired in severe sales slumps linked to the collapse of the U.S. home construction industry and prolonged by an economic recession that has damped consumers' interest in buying expensive durable goods. The $300 million was distributed to states based on the number of households. But the federal government left most of the details, including specific rebate amounts for each type of appliance, up to state governments to decide. States' plans for the program are due to the Department of Energy by Oct. 15.

Policy on stating 'Clear Title'
eBAY should consider changing their requirements for sellers listing vehicles with statements of 'Clear Title'. Over the last several weeks of engaging in bids for used RV's and ensuing dialogue with some sellers, I have found that in fact they DO NOT actually have 'clear and conveyable titles' due to outstanding liens for these vehicles due to using the title as collateral to secure a loan of some type(i.e.; auto title loans, personal loans, etc.). The legal definition of a clear title is one that is free of any and all debtor liens or encumbrances and would be immediately conveyable by the seller to a new owner. This should be the case when stating a clear title at the time of listing an auction as opposed to selller waiting on a buyers money to satisfy any liens or encumbrances to make said title 'Clear and Conveyable'. A simple solution would be to make sellers aware that if stating 'Clear Title' they must in fact have possession of the legal title for said vehicle, clear of any and all encumbrances. On the other hand, if they have used the title as collateral to secure financing for said vehicle or for any other loan purposes where a bank or lending institution holds title ownership until said lien is paid in full then sellers should be given the choice to state a 'Clean and Conveyable' title. This way buyers will know in advance that at the time of winning an auction and preparing to take delivery, they will need to work with the seller and/or any current lien holder to ensure a speedy and uneventful transfer of said title to the new owner. I for one would be very upset to have traveled several hundreds of miles after winning an auction with CASH IN HAND, expecting a clear title transfer between only seller and buyer, to discover that I would now have to wait for the seller to use MY money to clear all liens in order to convey that so-called 'Clear Title'. This also becomes evident when running an AutoChek or CarFax report on listed VIN's which is another issue in itself as I have also found a number of listings with either no VIN shown or an incorrect one. This clear title issue should also extend to the numerous wholesalers listing on eBay who in fact many times use the titles of vehicles they have purchased at auto auctions to secure financing from their lending institutions. While many of these wholesalers do state in their listings that title conveyance can take up to 30-days (which is a clear sign they do not actually own these titles free and clear) it can be misleading to actually state clear title in their listings.

Hey Bizz, Riptwo..
You all have helped me out tremendously in the past with your knowledge.. Quick question.. Repainting my TR-6 British Racing Green since the guy that painted it last time did a lousy job... What is the absolute best two stage base coat/ clear coat that you can buy? I have gotten pretty good with the gun, and I even have a decent makeshift booth. Painted a few bikes, and my Miata with great results using Nason, but I am looking for the best for this one... Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

MSNBC: Gun-toting protesters are 'white' racists...
.MSNBC: Gun-toting protesters are 'white' racists... Black Guy with AR-15 edited to conceal his race. Link On Tuesday, MSNBCs Contessa Brewer fretted over health care reform protesters legally carrying guns: "A man at a pro-health care reform rally...wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip....there are questions about whether this has racial overtones....white people showing up with guns." Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black. Following Brewers report, which occurred on the Morning Meeting program, host Dylan Ratigan and MSNBC pop culture analyst Toure discussed the supposed racism involved in the protests. Toure argued: "...there is tremendous anger in this country about government, the way government seems to be taking over the country, anger about a black person being president....we see these hate groups rising up and this is definitely part of that." Ratigan agreed: "...then they get the variable of a black president on top of all these other things and thats the move the cherry on top, if you will, to the accumulated frustration for folks." Not only did Brewer, Ratigan, and Toure fail to point out the fact that the gun-toting protester that sparked the discussion was black, but the video footage shown of that protester was so edited, that it was impossible to see that he was black. The man appeared at a health care rally outside of President Obamas speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Phoenix, Arizona.

Anyone play with a scammer?
I had responded to an ad on an RV classified site. The RV was within our price range with many of the features we were looking for. When I received a reply the bells and whistles went off when she mentioned the eBay "shipping center" for Rv's, and asked for some personal info. Now I am no spring chicken when it comes to the internet and knew immediately what was going on. SO the game has begun ..... I replied asking for more photos, got those, then I asked the engine type and transmission, then the model number ... each time she replied with the info I requested along with a request to commit immediately as she needs to get the eBay shipping form filled out (yeah right!) Gonna let her stew for a bit and then request some totally off the wall info and see what she says. I have already reported the ad as a scam to several sites where I found an identical ad and that had her email address listed. Just curious if anyone else has ever played with scammers? I had years ago, but this one really got my goat since we have been looking for a few months now for an RV and it got my hopes up of finally finding what we were looking for! Shy who has a bit of a in her at times!

Bad seller lurking on ebay motors
I recently won a 2006 suzuki katana on ebay motors. The seller assured 100% satisfaction. The bike was described as "road ready, fluids checked, recently serviced, and cosmetic flaws are pictured" Well the bike is not road ready it has broken turn signals and will not pass inspection until I PAY to fix it. This was not shown/visible in their "pictures". Fluids checked... I recieved the motorcycle with NO OIL or BREAK FLUID, and the small amount of gas it had was mud brown!! When I asked why I didnt get a response. The bike is said to have been recently serviced... The whole chain has rust on it.. the oil filter has caked on mud and grease on the outside of it and doesnt show any signs of being "recently serviced". The cosmetic flaws... now some were pictured yet the pictures look way better than the bike.. When I emailed them prior to auction end asking info they told me look at pictures. The bike appears to have been in several accidents with scrapes digs and scratches everywhere. I did not recieve my title or temporary tags for the bike (like they promised to). I finally recieve the title 33 days after the end of the auction. The title does not match the bike neither does the bill of sale. I will not be signing the bill of sale.. The bill of sale and title says its a black bike.. the bike is pink, it was advertised as pink sold as pink and arrived pink. The title and bill of sale also say its a 6sx750, it is a GSX750F Katana.. now I need to pay to fix a title they screwed up. If that is not bad enough they advertised the motorcycle in the auction as having a "clear title" Well.... They didnt even have a title for the vehicle until August 7th 2009. The auction ended July 13th 2009. I reported the issue I was having to ebays buyer protection what a joke more like SELLER PROTECTION. I told them I was unhappy with the condition of the bike and it was not as described, and at that point in time I still hadnt recieved a title. The seller(s) told me, my father, the conflict resolution guy they were going to give me a full refund and have the bike sent back to them, on the condition I changed my negative feedback about them to say good things. I agreed to fix my feedback for the refund cause hey $4500.00 is $4500.00. Well they agreed to this then "changed their mind" (Ebays buyer protection can't do anything about it cause "it isnt in writing") And the seller still expects me to change my feedback for a mere $800.00. I don't think so. I say they because the seller is listed as Robert Wilson, but his son Brandon Wilson is the one that seems to do all the negotiating. It is my hope that other buyers do not fall victim to their feedback rating of 97.3% (now 95.7% since they don't care about making the customer happy or keeping their word) because i beleive i am not the only buyer whom had an issue, and i think they pressured past unhappy customers to change the feedback to make them look good, in exchange for a "full refund" or a small pathetic bribe like what was offered to me. They would not answer my calls. They do not respond to emails, i do not have a paper trail at all on these guys. They prefer to "do their business over the phone (their phones arent even land lines all are cell phones) ". Do not fall victim to these sub-par sellers with "good feedback" They do not care about their customers and do not (or at least for me) did not accurately describe the item. They do not stand behind their sales or products and are only out to make themselves look good. And dont rely on ebay to bail you out their only looking out for number one as well. Ebay wont handle issues on ebay motors they pay an outside company (Auction Insurance Agency) to handle the problems. And pay pal forget it pay pal wont cover issues with Vehicles. So no one will help you, so if you decide to buy on ebay motors if you cant check it out in person dont do it, because you may end up like me with a deal thats "too good to be true". Ebay's auction insurace agency, also doesnt care about accuracey of descriptions on ebay motors, so apparently you could put up a picture of a brand new car and really sell a piece of crap because they do not care and wont help out the buyer (the photos posted and the actual condition of the vehicle isn't important to them). They bail out the seller to come to an "agreement" with the buyer because in their eyes helping out the buyer costs them too much money. i will NEVER buy from ebay motors again and i suggest you out there in ebay land NEVER BUY FROM "HAWGTOWNCYCLESGALORE" or purchase from sellers that go by the name of "Robert Wilson, or Brandon Wilson" Buyer Beware: Paypal doesnt offer buyer protection on vehicles. Ebay themselves do not deal with ebay motors issues. Auction Insurance Agency in my case was not out to help the buyer they were out to do whatever is "cheaper" for them. Read what is covered by the "Vehicle Protection Program" they claim body is protected yet the paint *which i always thought was part of the body, according to them it isnt*.

Play Name that Car?
Anyone wanna play? I have this photo, I estimate dates to 1908-1912 roughly. I think the touring car looks similar to a 1909-1910 Ford Model T but it does not quite match sample images I have found so far. Fenders and headlights seem a little off and the hoods did not have louvers. The running board tank and circle panel between doors seems unique also. Though I know that some of this can vary on model lines.

So they load the search function up with their fancy Java, only to give incomplete results, slower page loads, with crappy filtering. When are We going to get an ADEQUATE search system? The old system was fast, easy, and accurate. The New system is slow, gives very poor filtering capabilities, and the most frustrating of all, it resets Your search box when switching thru any of the ridiculess java functions. I'm totally fed up with this crappy rework! Someone needs to be FIRED!!!!

Ebay Compromised again
Last night I made a bid on a vehicle offered by Northpoint Toyota in Arkansas. 15 minutes after bid was made I received an email directly to my home email, addressing me by name, not through the ebay messaging system from this dealer. I then received a phone call from the same dealer. Think about this! I made a bid under my member name and yet this Dealer got my name address and phone number from EBAY. Think EBAY might have a problem here if this software the dealer used gets put into place. I have placed a complaint with EBAY regarding this but we all know how that does not work.

Buyer Protection Buyers and sellers share the responsibility for making sure purchases facilitated by eBay are exciting, rewarding, and hassle-free. We strongly encourage buyers to work with sellers before opening a claim relating to a purchase. Buyers and sellers agree to follow the requirements of the eBay Buyer Protection Policy with respect to claims. eBay Buyer Protection covers only claims filed in accordance with the eBay Buyer Protection Policy, not claims filed with PayPal. We may suspend the eBay Buyer Protection Policy without notice if we suspect abuse or interference with the proper working of the program. We require eBay sellers to comply with our resolution process. Sellers permit us to make a final decision, in our sole discretion, on any claim that a buyer files with eBay under the eBay Buyer Protection Policy. If we resolve a dispute in the buyer's favor, we will refund the buyer for the cost of the item and the original shipping, and we will require the seller to reimburse us for the refund. Without limiting the foregoing, sellers may not have to pay a reimbursement for an eBay claim if they provide the documentation (for example, delivery confirmation or proof that the item was as described) indicated in the eBay Buyer Protection Policy. Sellers must have a reimbursement method on file with eBay. For transactions paid with PayPal, sellers agree to allow us to remove funds from their PayPal accounts to reimburse buyers. Sellers may change this reimbursement method by contacting eBay. When there are insufficient funds in PayPal accounts, transactions are not paid with PayPal, or when PayPal is not the reimbursement method of a seller, we will require another reimbursement method.

I'm A Grandpa
First grandchildren, twin boys, born Monday evening, taken by cesarean four weeks early due to complications with one of the boys. Healthy one James weighed in at 5.5 lbs, and he and mother came home tonight. Joseph, 5 lbs, has VATER syndrome, with multiple problems, primarily with lungs and, more seriously, with his kidneys. Doctors said a few weeks ago that he wouldn't live but a few hours; now there is hope that wasn't there even right after birth. I know some of you already know about it, and have been praying for him; please continue to do so. It means a lot to us to know people are asking the Lord for healing for this little guy. Beautiful boys, by the way. And I'm not just saying it 'cause I'm their Granddaddy. I'd say it if they were your grandsons too!
