C/L 69 Chevy appears back on C/L 2 days after for resale, been there for 2 months now
I encountered this truck on C/L in my area about 2 months back. They guy was selling it due to a military movement. Had it listed for $1600. I decide I would make him an offer on it, made it a little low (partly cause I don't really need a 5th vehicle) and told him if he didn't get any better to contact me. Offer him $1200, and I was not able to see the truck in person but could see the exterior flaws from photo's. He ended up selling it, and like 2 days later it is back up on C/L for $2950 and been there ever since.
It cracks me up with these guys that try to sell them for profits with out doing any work to them. And the fact of putting them directly back up on the classifieds. Like some of aren't avid C/L viewers..lol Here is the link: http://ksu.craigslist.org/cto/3393374346.html I think it is worth about $1600 he paid for it, the PO did all the work stated in the add and couldn't confirm if the 78k was original miles or not when I inquired. I could understand if he would have picked up a spiffy truck for cheap and posted it. Some people just irritate me sometimes. Anyone else have these encounters? Anyone ever decide to call the person out on it? Just curious.

You would think he would have atleast fixed all the small stuff and washed it up real nice before relisting it.
Hopefully he will get about $1600 for it....lol. Posted via Mobile Device |

I have had that happen to me before. I sold a project 4 wheeler for $500 and about two weeks later it was reposted for $1700. The guy didn't do a thing to it, I had a good laugh after i saw it.

Re: C/L 69 Chevy appears back on C/L 2 days after for resale, been there for 2 months
Same here, i sold a 94 police package caprice parts car, no title, i had robbed a few parts off it. Some guy showed up looking for an LT1 and 4l60e for his 55 project. Told me all about his plan to use the frame from the caprice for it. He got my name from a friend, so he seemed legit.
Sold him the car for $500 parts car only. 1 week later its on CL for $1900. Still had the slim on the windows from sitting in the woods. I was BS. 2 days later he calls me leaves me a voice mail asking if i had a rear seat and brakes for this car. what an a**hat. I told him i had plenty, but because he relisted the car for a profit, he was a piece of trash and i wouldn't sell him anything, his statement was, i knew it wouldn't sell. piece of garbage.

Re: C/L 69 Chevy appears back on C/L 2 days after for resale, been there for 2 months
I inquired on the truck last night, pretty much called the guy out. I didn't be an @$$hole about it either. I basically asked him what he had done to it, then I told him I couldn't do his asking price as I had inquired on it thru the PO that was asking $1600. He knew he was busted on it then and got pretty ticked off and had several choice threatening words me.
Sometimes I can't help myself when I know someone is trying to screw someone over.

Re: C/L 69 Chevy appears back on C/L 2 days after for resale, been there for 2 months
I drove almost 2 hours over the summer to look at C10 roller, "rust free". It should have said free rust. The part that kills me is he still runs the add even after he played stupid with me when i showed him how bad the truck was. All the bad areas on the truck was fiberglassed over SMH.

Re: C/L 69 Chevy appears back on C/L 2 days after for resale, been there for 2 months
Help me understand what the problem is here? Someone buys a vehicle, then shortly thereafter flips it for a profit? Is this really a new concept, or somehow wrong? I've found a lot of times when someone sells one of these trucks, they have no idea that it is worth more than they are asking. They just know that they use it once a year to take a load of tree branches to the dump, and it sits taking up space the rest of the time, and their wife is nagging to get rid of it because their youngest daughter is getting married in their backyard in a month. So, someone who knows what it is worth happens to see it, buys it, and flips it for a profit. Why is this wrong?

A year or so ago I bought a 67 Chevy C10 SWB roller with no title for $600. It had a decent fleet bed and a few misc good parts. I thought the bed alone was worth $600, so that's what I put it for sale at. Later on a guy leaves me a voice mail saying he knew about me buying the truck for $600 and says I am "ripping people off" by advertising the bed only for $600. Funny thing is I ended up selling the whole truck for the $600 I paid for it, so I guess I got what I deserved! |

There isn't a problem. I saw a truck advertised on C/L for MONTHS for 2500. All of a sudden someone else placed an ad for the same truck for 3800. I posted links to both ads running concurrently. It was hilarious.

Re: C/L 69 Chevy appears back on C/L 2 days after for resale, been there for 2 months
There is nothing wrong with it when the truck is actually worth what he is asking for it. The problem is that they guy bought it and said he did all the work to it, when the PO put the work and money into it. There is issues the guy isn't mentioning either, needs some wiring redone under the hood and a little under the dash. The rockers are rusted out and continues into the floor board, and missing rear bumper. That's the info I got from the PO and I wasn't able to go look at it myself.
I was interested in the truck myself when the previous owner had it. The truck is a good basis to start with, but a with what has been said. The truck just isn't worth what he is asking. But that's my opinion. If you are going to buy and flip, at least tell the truth and the truck actually be worth the flipping price. In the area he is selling it in, it's worth pretty much $2000. The work that has been done to it is maintaining work. Worth it or not, I hate lairs.

He didn't post about the rocker rust or wiring, and the pictures don't give you the view of it either. It is what it is, if you are fool enough to pay what he is asking after looking at it. Then you deserve what you bought.

Re: C/L 69 Chevy appears back on C/L 2 days after for resale, been there for 2 months
I don't agree with the guy lying and stating that he did the work, that bullcrap. However, I am someone who loves making money though... so if I thought I could buy a truck and make a few bucks on it... I would try!.... just would wait a few weeks at least. haha.

I bought a fourwheeler few years ago, needed seat tires balljoint tie rod ends (front suspension) and wheel bearings on 3 corners. I added wheels and tires and a lift kit, battery some other stuff. Put it up for sale for a good bit more than I paid for and got an email from the guy

Re: C/L 69 Chevy appears back on C/L 2 days after for resale, been there for 2 months
Something like that I agree with. I bought a 95 Camaro that the guy was having over heating issues, fixed it and drove it a little while before selling. I put new tires on it, put new speakers and CD player in it, and repaired a few other things. Then sold it. Picked it up for $300 and made a profit in the end. But I did the work and the car was worth what I sold it for.

Re: C/L 69 Chevy appears back on C/L 2 days after for resale, been there for 2 months
I buy wrecks and fix them and sell them to the public [mostly] for a living ,and have in my body shop since 1987. I don't do any much if any outside bodywork for the public, it has to be a customer of mine or a case where it is someone I really like and want to help. I don't use CL often 1 Avalanche about 3 months ago and some parts a few weeks before that that were extras but when I did get any intrest in my truck I told them up front at the risk of losing the potinal buyer that the truck had been worked on. I am not ashamed of my work and want to make it clear when I do work on one what I do to them and it has held me in good stead these many years. I have some customers that have bought many times from me and trust me when I say one is ok.I agree with the above posters there is nothing wrong with making money but stealing money you did'nt earn is different story and that is basicly the situation going on here when the man has not done the work he said he has done and is not sure of the other work, he has no justifacation to try to make that much without touching it, but I shant judge him. The public has apparently done that by not purchasing the truck from him. It sure is great how poeple think just because it is old it is a classic or rareand when thy have these old rare classics thatt they have a permit to shear a customer. Jim

Re: C/L 69 Chevy appears back on C/L 2 days after for resale, been there for 2 months
THe guy went by "Cowboy Calvin". He was from Elgin, Tx. I havent heard anything of him for a while. he used to have ads for a bunch of junk in a pasture. It seems it was OK for him to do it, but not me. He told me to "stay out of his neck of the woods" as far as buing trucks, but he came to within 10 miles of me to buy one.
Over the Christmas break a couple of years ago I saw a c list ad for a 69 C20 292 4 speed that had a bad miss. THe kid was going to school at Texas Tech in Lubbock, all the way on the other side of the state and instead of fixing it he was going to sell it and buy a car with better fuel mileage to drive back.. He bought the ruck out there and it was an old farm truck, body was shot, but had a near perfect cab. He wanted $1000 for the truck but since all that was uaseable I told him I could offer $750. He said no and I left him my number. I called him a week later and he said he sold it to a guy from Elgin named CALVIN. He had offered him $400 but the kid said $500 minimum... And I was a crook (!?) FUnny thing is he said the guy pulled it back to Elgin 2 hrs away with a CHAIN in rush hour traffic. Time for a trailer, Calvin! |

GMCJOE,
not that I don't believe you but what makes you so sure the other guy ant doing the same thing as this guy? I mean he said he did all the work on the truck right. Do you have proof that he did? I just hate to see someone getting all tore up over stuff for no reason. There are people like this all over the world. The guy bought a truck at a good price and it's his truck now he can ask whatever price he want's for it and no one has the right to say he can't no matter what. Will he sell it who knows, there are DA's born everyday! Now is he lying who knows I assume maybe he is but genral public doesn't know this. In the end is it worth all this hate? Not taking up for the guy but just seeing everyone talking about this has me wondering is it worth it. There is nothing wrong with making money! ![]() ![]()
