ebay heads up - Diesel Forum

Was looking at a dually on there to fix until I found out the cab floor was crushed. He didn't put that info in the listing and had no selling feedback. Heads up out there. Just checked the bid $3250. They could have bought a nice runner for what that will cost to fix even if the frame is good. Wonder if their paying shipping/towing too?

I bought my rig on Ebay but I did just like you I called the guy and made sure stuff was on the up and up. Its a had its share of probs. but the transaction was smooth. I have had really good luck with Ebay myself.

I agree with Travis, we need a link!

I have dealt with Ebay quite a bit, waiting for my Sonnax valve for my trans right at the moment, hehehehehe, I did have one run in I wont soon forget!! stupid people shouldnt be alowed to breed! I bought this 78 Chev 1/2 ton that was supposed to have a flywheel knock (supposed crack) or even a cam noise, If it was just a regular ol 350 with plain ol paint id'a left a lone, but sence it had Yosemite Sam, air brushed on the hood, and 472 cubic inches of raw cadillac power under it, that baby was mine! too bad it had a broken cam and desintegrated ROD. That might have took me all of 3 seconds to figure out after I started the damn thing! (3 mechanics couldnt figure that out, supposedly 3 mechanics) I still got my money back out of it, but, man I hate stupid people! I was a sweet truck though will admit, it was sweet!

I 86ed that T - bone page too quick for a link. If that auction was real....were all extremely wealthy owners [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img] A good pass fender, door, and bed plus 150,000 mile powertrain for $3250 plus shipping [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] @ $1.50 ? a mile just wasn't on my favorites list long. Salvage value wasn't there--but maybe someone's favorite color was in the long distance photo or they live across town, or they have to smell the poop before they know it's on their shoe.
