[DML] Re: 2001 Rebuild "fast" Delo on eBay

["cbl1739" <cbl302@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A pet peeve of mine....I hate that word "REFURBISHED"...all that 
really means is that in the case of a vehicle it was "checked out" 
nothing was nessarily done to the vehicle,it just means it 
starts,runs,goes forward and backward etc.In the case of electronics 
it just means that it turns on and off(works)It is a favorite word 
for scammers..trying to make a item sound as if it was "totally 
rebuilt"!!

If you see a Ad with the word "refurbished" it is a RED LIGHT as a 
scam item,as the seller is trying to make the item sound as if it is 
totally rebuilt,when in reality maybe a tune-up and oil change were 
the only things done..walk away from that vehicle,or for that matter 
ANY item that is claimed as "refurbished"!!
Example: the idiots on ebay,that are selling used laptop LCD screens 
in the ORIGNAL untouched housings..and claiming them as "refurbished"
again all they did is make sure it worked/started.They in no way or 
fashion corrected or rebuilt anything,but use the word to make it 
sound more valuable/rebuilt.

The Correct term(s) is Rebuilt(as the seller claims)New/OEM/AS 
NEW/used, ect,and a few others that I cannot think of at this time.

Just remember anytime you see the word "refurbished" walk away or 
pass on that car or item.You will be glad you did!!
