On December 5, 2002, $36 won ten hubcaps from eBay member Denis Ehlers. Complete auction description read "nice shape have no use for them", title read "chevy truck hub caps nice", and included a picture of the ten hubcaps. At this time, Denis Ehlers had one negative comment for e-mail problems.
Five hubcaps were recieved from Denis Ehlers. When contacted, Denis did not care only to say that the other five were available for sale. To warn others, negative feedback was promptly left.
I archived the eBay auction page for reference. It may be found HERE (177K) and HERE (54K). Sorry, the second link is a ZIPPED Internet Explorer archived and it requires Microsoft Internet Explorer.
After this e-mail from Denis, I decided it best to create this page.

One hubcap was clean with almost no damage whatsoever. I would describe it as in nice shape. However, the other four hubcaps were not what I consider "nice shape," but opinions vary.
These facts have been presented in hopes of protecting other eBay members.
