The problem, in my opinion, of being a high bidder and buying it on ebay, then going to see it and then backing out, only screws the seller. Seller fees ,having to relist it, people then thinking there might be something wrong with it even if it just wasn,t what you envisioned etc. For a high dollar car or truck, I believe a prospective buyer should look at it in person or hire a professional to look at it.

I have been in lengthy discussions with Smokey Mountain Traders. $75,000 is not even close to his reserve!! I am not going to spend $1000 in travel expenses to go look at a vehicle that we are too far apart on! It has been relisted numerous times due to RESERVE NOT MET. I do not think your concerns have merit in this case!

I have paid appraisers to go look at vehicles and driven to Ohio to look at one (along with numerous vehicles within a couple of hours). In both cases the sellers misrepresented their vehicles and I have the pictures to prove it. What about my wasted time and expenses?
