I'm wondering what everyone else's definition of "Damage History" is.
After looking through Ebay for a Cessna 172 I ran across this description:

Complete Logs, Computerized AD List,
Logs reflect no history of damage except:
11/2/95 Off airport landing; Wings, rudder & vertical fin replaced with
exchange units.
11/1/96 Hangar rash; R/H elevator re-skinned
5/16/97 Hit runway light on landing with tail; replaced rear tail cone skin,
rudder & stabilizer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe I misunderstood?
Maybe what this seller is really saying is that none of the damage was
recorded in the a/c log.
You be the judge, see the ad for yourself at Ebay item # 2451430535
