Send both of them a message with the auction number of the other one and ask them. If one of them is bogus the one with the original listing will report the bogus one.

I bet its the same guy. I would flag it to ebay.

JHART · 10-15-2007, 11:33 PM

Its a scam ... i wouldnt trust anyone that has only 1 feedback. I understand he may be new but still same truck .... SCAM.

extd56 · 10-15-2007, 11:41 PM

Looks like the one in Traverse City, MI is the fake one if I had to pick. He is selling a nice truck with no reserve and no feedback at all. Also he wants 2000.00 in 48 hours and the guy in Cali wants cash in person. The other guy lists a phone number and a vin. I would have a member go to the one in California to check it out. Just my .02

longhorn70gmc · 10-15-2007, 11:47 PM

The picture from California does look like the old California black and yellow plates. It is obviously a scam. It is amazing what lengths people will go through to sell something. Both write ups are different too. I hope he doesn't get away with it.

extd56 · 10-15-2007, 11:53 PM

You are right, I see the plate and it does look to be a California plate. The seller from Michigan just got his ebay name yesterday it looks like.

67_C-30 · 10-15-2007, 11:57 PM

I just notified Ebay. That kind of stuff ruins it for everybody!

ETsC10 · 10-16-2007, 12:05 AM

tight race..three bucks. Hope the scammer gets nailed hard by a dishonest buyer! I hate thieves and scammers!

RyanG · 10-16-2007, 04:45 AM

This guy has phone numbers listed at the bottem of one of the listings and the 480 number is a phoenix number. I would say this is a scam

earl87gta · 10-16-2007, 05:30 AM

funny how many of our trucks are in scams know a days on ebay.

I thought 480 was Tempe? 623 is Phoenix i beleive ... at least thats the area code for my mother's house.

Either way i hope this guy gets screwed .... to many honest people get taken for their money.

caminokid · 10-16-2007, 07:29 AM

Yeah the info on both trucks are the same just worded different. I bet if he gets away with tis...he will have money to finish building it. I bet he takes two peoples money.

That would serve them both right and be funny as hell to watch, but most likely has about as much of a chance of happening as I do of winning the lottery! Glad you caught that before somebody ended up getting ripped off! Hopefully the seller will permanently lose his eBay account and will never be allowed to have another one. I hate those guys! ...joe

Yeah but the 805 # IS Simi Valley,Calif not too far from my place at all.Maybe I'll call him.But if I go to look, I WON'T be bringing cash.

BurnoutNova · 10-16-2007, 11:06 AM

what a dumbass... the scammer could have atleast found pics in other places than ebay, and especially a current ebay auction

**kwmech** · 10-16-2007, 11:08 AM

Truck sure has a lot of colors for having ONLY 39k original miles

edit: I'd venture to guess that the truck is in So. Cal judging by the scenery in the pics

I could also get my brother to check it out---in uniform---he is a Lancaster cop

Brock · 10-16-2007, 12:40 PM

They say everyone has a twin somewhere!?! But I'm afraid this ones a rip off. I think I saw one a couple of weeks ago where the guy used the exact same pic but had different hometowns.

Thats a shame, I like ebay and get a bunch of stuff off there. but I suppose there are scammers in everything. Kinda makes ya leary.

LOW DOUGH · 10-16-2007, 01:13 PM

yep, both have a yellow top optima battery and it looks like they both have the same amount of washer fluid in the bottle. what a jack a**

DPG2007 · 10-16-2007, 04:59 PM

If you look in this picture you can see the seat cover rolled up and stuffed under the seat. The other thing I noticed is the pictures are taken at night and during day... suspicious. Looks like Ebay would have done something by now..

GMCBubba · 10-16-2007, 05:13 PM

and can someone please explain to me why the listed bidders have usernames like t***r and y***7? that also seems odd

xshadow · 10-16-2007, 05:28 PM

the 480 number looks like a land line...
Land Line
Provider: Qwest Corporation
Location: Phoenix, AZ

The other one is for
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
street address not available
Simi Valley, CA 93065

(805) number in the ebay listing..this number you can easily get the person's name city and state to whom the number belongs to

I hope I can post the names on here...the phone numbers are posted in the ebay ad. and the other information was obtained via the net.

49m · 10-16-2007, 05:35 PM

I reported it to ebay

xshadow · 10-16-2007, 05:40 PM

did anyone call the number?

Blazer1970 · 10-16-2007, 05:41 PM

I live in Traverse City, so maybe I will see if I can go take a look at this "truck".

I just e-mailed the seller through Ebay and got this message:
"Note: The user you are contacting is registered on another eBay site and may speak a different language. Your message will be sent exactly as typed below."

Do ya think that auction is legit???
