I have looked at many auctions proposed by this fellow Colalbo (My Belgium Garage) and am always worried by the descriptions. I have found faults with almost all of his descriptions and would personally be very leery of dealing with the person. Does anybody have any direct purchase experience with his goods? Perhaps my doubts are misplaced and colablo is among the most dependable people around?
