I did about 6 years back. I was buying a lot of rare HotWheels from ebay at the time, and one came up that I just had to have.
I emailed the seller, asked her all sorts of questions about it to make sure it was the REAL one and not a remake that had come out in the 80s. She sounded like she didn't know much about the car and said she found it in a box of her son's (now grown up) stuff, so it all seemed legit.
I won the auction for something like $150.00, sent the money, got the vehicle, and saw immediately that it was indeed the 80s remake (worth about 50 cents). No amount of e-mail or phone calls could get her to refund my money, because she kept saying that the year she had listed in the auction was the same year on the vehicle. It wasn't, and I never did get my money back.
Ahh well.
