How does this work???

He will accpet 2800????

Didnt the rusty rat type sell for 4100!

I am confused why this one which appears to be better and well looked after is a lot cheaper?

Sorry for the silly questions just trying to get my head around it

mmm his user name ends in Conn (con) for the conspiracy theorists amongst us. He also has zero feedback.... but if this car is really what it seems to be and he is actually willing to take $2800, then its already gone:):no:

and I thought it was advertised in Melb a couple of weeks ago

and for a whole lot more $$$

so now its 2800 and has moved to NSW

hmmmmm

not to mention there is a set of semaphores on ebay that have gone past
the $500 mark with three days to go so the car is only really only a $2300car

if it were 2800 dollars it would be well and truely gone....

was on ebay in Melburg for $21k "buy it now"
sent him a msg, no response yet
I think the photos are for sale ($2800) it doesnt look that good!!!

I wondered about this one as well....

I think he means "would sell at $2800" as in that's his reserve (and he doesn't know how to use ebay?...)


ponybeetle - July 18th, 2007 at 02:01 PM

well it's been removed by ebay now...so there's the answer....


Mervan - July 18th, 2007 at 03:52 PM

Might it being removed mean that it has been sold?

Funny this seems to be happening a lot lately.

I saw a 31 Ford Completely resotored for 9K is Tassy and before long it was removed in similar circumstances?

Is this happening more on ebay or is it just because I am now noticing it?

people often advertise on ebay stipulating that it is for sale elsewhere and they reserve the right to end the auction, but in this case it was clearly a bogus or at least dodgy add. Whenever you see a car being sold by a user who joined yesterday, be wary.

If your selling a car on ebay and whant a reserve you pay extra,so what people do is say its advertised elswhere and if it looks like its not going to reach what they whant they just remove the listing its that easy??????

alot of people dont follow the egay rules.
there was a 11 window splitty bus body shell only on a few days ago. it got up to $800 after 3 days and then was removed.
Someone must have made him an offer he couldnt refuse.

If it ended early the ad would still be there to view, but state the auction had already ended.
This has been removed/ deleted altogether, so something dodgy must have been up?

ebay will remove & completely delete items if they breach the selling rules or they find out they are scams.
these won't show up on any searches

others that are removed / ended by the sellers will still appear in myeBay , searches etc.
