tawss04 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I found a tremec t56 tranny on ebay, the starting bid was $999.99. It was out of an 06 SSR that had 2miles on it it looked brand new. It was listed on Jan 30,07 and the end date was Feb 06,07. I watched to see if any on was going to bid on it, no hits. So I put a bid on it this morniing, I checked at lunch and it said bidding ended , I checked and I did not win it The seller and removed the listing and canceled the bid. I thought you could not remove an item during an auction tremec tranny I was going to put it in my Firebird instead of going the automatic route. I know its not out of an F-body (because of the torque arm mount)but I have the Spohn set up. It would bolt up to my engine and the drive shaft splines are the same. I'm going with a stick because auto built up automatic cost a little more than going the tremec route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAmerican Revolution Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I went through the same thing. If the bidder puts it on his iten info that he can cancelle it or end bidding when ever because its forsale locally or some shit he/she can do it. I am not an ebay expert, but I am just telling you what i think might have happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black2003SS Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Those guys are really reputable. I am sure they didnt end the auction without just cause. How do I know? Schram has been around for years and I grew up buying parts from them as did my grandfather. They have a nice parts yard of new cars in Waterford, MI. Call them and see what they have...and maybe even why the auction was cancelled. Here is their info... Schram Auto & Truck Parts Address: 2549 Dixie Hwy, Waterford, MI 48328 Phone: (248) 673-5409 They really are great guys. I called them for efans for my truck and they had 05 efans for $229 dollars with less than 10k on them...had sets of them...but I went the flexalite route anyways.

faceliftedss Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 dude that sucks i had the same thing happen to me with a sts turbo kit. the sellers make these acutions with no reserve to encourage bids and when they don't get up to what the seller has in mind they screw whoever is interested i hate that. but they are allowed to remove items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a valid reason, the place they were using was having trouble with hosting the pitures. I did notice the pics were missing. I had emailed them and they explained what happend. I'll execpt that, I checked out there other listing and the same thing, they are fixing them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtec Max Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm surprise this is something new you've experience, I have had numerous transactions on ebay that just "end because it's no longer available". It's an option ebay gives the sellers......that's why it's used so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm telling you...they are really good at what they do...glad you got a solid explination. If you call them, you can just bypass the auction and probably buy on direct and get the total bottom line pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
