Ebay started doing this to mask the identiy of bidders to the public to help fight scamming. The seller can still see the correct names. I believe they only do this to the higher priced items.

Re: Check this out - SCAM???

These are definitely the same truck. The engine pics look a little different. The pics for the MI truck may have been snagged from a much earlier auction but were taken prior to the ones in CA. Master cylinder has "patina" and the alternator belt looks to have been replaced in the CA pics.

Re: Check this out - SCAM???

I live in Simi Valley and I thought that I recognized the area that the pics were taken, so I drove by there while I was out and snapped a few pics for myself. It is the truck in question for sure. Nobody around at the time, but I will be heading that way later and see if anybody is there.

Here are the pictures taken about 15 minutes ago.

Re: Check this out - SCAM???

notice also one has a cup holder on the dash and one has one laying in the front seat and the rust spot in front of the antenna is the same too and also the cowl to hood seal gives it away

Hey check this out, I personally called Eddie, from the phone number listed. The add with the phone numbers is legit and the other is scamming. I told him about our conversation here at the this site and he thanked me and said that he has contacted fleabay and they have done nothing about his pics being pirated from another site he had posted it at. Call him yourself. He may just sell it to you. Note that the incorrect listing states it is a c-10. No such thing as a c-10 gmc and especially a 3/4 ton GMC. Let's help real seller out. David

Re: Check this out - SCAM???

I asked about it in the post with the phone numbers this is the reply " Yeah, I've been tipped off by like 10 other buyers. I listed on cars.com as well and the guy copied my listing and stole the pictures off of the site where I did the listing. IF you look at the truck he has listed its not what hes saying it is. Hes advertising it as a C-10, and I think hes just trying to screw some people out of there money. He also doesnt have a VIN listed for the truck, I do. I've reported him to ebay, If you'd like to do the same feel free: ) Thanks for the heads up. My listing is the real one and I can prove it. You have to bid on the one I have in california or you might be bidding on one that doesnt exist. Good luck man, sorry about the confusion "

Re: Check this out - SCAM???

someone should bid something crazy like $200,000...so no one gets ripped off...hey anyone want to see how high we can get the price of the fake post?....when you post something for sale on ebay how does ebay charge you? how much are the fees for a truck posting?

Re: Check this out - SCAM???

Ebay charges a percentage of what it sells for, regardless if the seller gets paid ebay gets their fees. I had a non-payment of some taillights and ebay didn't care they still got paid the fees for sale and listing.

So if you bid $200,000 he would have to pay a percentage, but most likely he will not follow through and ebay will just ban him, he will get a new id and be back at it again.

The real seller should report it to the police....

Re: Check this out - SCAM???

Hey David Why don't you talk him into paying the $25 on here and sell it to a member? Seems as though his chances of selling it on Ebay have gone down hill with the "competition twin".

Re: Check this out - SCAM???

I already suggested that he post on here, and that they contact the police or at least threaten the other person that they would....
They seem like good people. Too bad the scammer is hurting his sale on this...I was kidding about the 200,000 bid...but it would stop him from scaming someone on the deal. I just don't want to be the person to bid the 200,000

I don't guess it is on me. I was just follow'n up on the that crazy double flea bay sale. Remember, buyer BEWARE. Scam sellers won't tell you this but you have to slow down ask questions and be AWARE. I handed my seller 375 bucks and bought mine. I don't really like to play online money games. Don't get me wrong. I have made some honest trransactions paid in full very fast. Yes I did sell a slot car for 125 bucks. I recieved a perfect score. That is what I am talking about. PM the gentleman that posted pics in live time and get that poor truck to the body shop and post some crazy pics of how youfixed it up and..................................

yes, the person who appears to be the real owner said that he was cancelling and relisting the auction in order to help clear up things.

Yes you are technically correct...I was just saying the general area. Now with cell phones you can have that area code and live in Peoria.

Re: Check this out - SCAM???

I was just thinking, mabye the auction is still up because they are conducting and investigation and don't want the scammer to know they are on to his scam.
