Ebay is nothing to do with this though. It's always a case of buyer beware.

Particularly hard with planes, which will have been maintained by numerous outfits, often long gone, with records lost or disposed of, and it's really really easy for a dishonest seller to suppress any part of the maintenance history. Even most honest sellers will be unable to deliver a complete maintenance history. Just the same as a car.

That's the way the business works - the firms hang onto the records in the hope this will force the customer to always come back to them. I always get copies - even if it means photographing the contents of a ring binder and putting the pics on a CD.
