truck on ebay - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

is it just me or does this guy seem insane, he says its almost all rust free, all it needs is a fuel line, and if it is indeed the truck in the picture i think somethin is wrong with this guy. any opinions?????

something seems fishy cause thats a pretty good lookin truck in the pic and for a reserve at 400 bcks

Purs · 12-25-2002, 12:33 AM

if something is too good to be true......

matt_field · 12-25-2002, 01:24 AM

my guess is the truck in the pic isnt the truck hes selling, and if it only takes $20.00 to get it running.. then he should do it so you could atleast drive the truck. this defently doenst look right....

Did anybody see the highest bidder nick? 2smart2spend2much
something's up with this auction

frisky68 · 12-25-2002, 02:49 AM

both the buyer and the original bidder have feedback of 0...my guess they are 1 in the same person...i put a bid on it and asked for more detailed pictures and an explanation of the color diff....we'll see what happens

Iron-Butt · 12-25-2002, 05:06 AM

I sent for pics also...have not bid yet but the price is low now.

skyhawk1 · 12-25-2002, 07:21 AM

Discription says gold exterior. I think he's got the wrong pic posted.

nitor · 12-25-2002, 08:54 AM

I just sent an e-mail asking of that was the picture of the truck he was selling, or a picture of a truck like he was selling, we'll see.

supercheyenne · 12-25-2002, 09:15 AM

Ah yes, the common snapped fuel line. I've had that happen a million times............

How in the heck do you snap a fuel line?

Downtown · 12-25-2002, 10:41 AM

I sent him an email for his phone number. If he replies I will go see the truck in person.

imaindianoutlaw · 12-25-2002, 12:25 PM

keep us posted

frisky68 · 12-25-2002, 02:36 PM

Just received an email from him stating that his truck is gold...and the picture is the same make and model as his, in the same condition...yeah right....what a scam

teeitup · 12-25-2002, 08:01 PM

Ya, I got the same email, no chrome, no ralleys, but the body does look to be in good shape but a plain truck!

nitor · 12-26-2002, 09:11 AM

This is what he sent me: "it's the same make and model and body condition, it's just gold. The picture is not of my truck but of one exactly like it only white, while mine is gold.". Now, why wouldn't he post a picture of the truck he's trying to sell if it isn't a scam?

No3Fan4Ever · 12-26-2002, 11:17 AM

I would have thought that EBAY rules would require a disclosure statement that the vehicle for sale is not the one shown???
just my .02 cents;
this is what scares me about trying to locate a truck on ebay;
I have seen plenty I would like to bid on but you just don't know if it is that good of a deal as opposed to a member of this board selling something and you feel fairly sure he is a man of his word........

chevy_fatman · 12-26-2002, 12:43 PM

I e-mailed him too, and he said that he just wants something reliable to drive, and he needs money for school and don't need something that needs a whole lot of attention, and he's selling it with low reserve so somebody can get nice deal, so he can get on with his life, mhhh
