by the way this guy who bought my car said it was not as described and wanted 2000.00 dollars in damages said he was an attorney and would sue me i had 24 hours to pay him or else ~~~

guccieng 10-28-2009 12:57 AM

wow! some people. can't you ask a question so that others can see it on the ad? maybe he doesn't know what 'clone' means? what a retard!

Zipbar 10-28-2009 01:01 AM

I think its a hard way to make a living

Zipbar 10-28-2009 01:06 AM

we talked for over an hour on the phone about this car he knows alot about cars i would even say he is an expert on muscle cars. that chevy ss clone in the photo background he bought in ca it was above my car on the car transport when my car was shipped to pennsylvania.

steve v 10-28-2009 09:41 AM

He claims to have $32k in it? Must have been one hefty shipping bill!

Does he realize the vin is listed in your auction & it is not too difficult of a trail to follow?

Keith Seymore 10-28-2009 10:19 AM

After reading the auction I almost get the impression the lister is saying that for "dramatic effect", that is to show what a convincing "clone" the car is (...especially after reading your original auction).

After reading your ad,it is obvious he has no case.The guy is a representation of some of the classic car dealers,they will go to extreme lengths to omit information,or word their ads,to influence the buyer(Keith's statement)e.g. If you sell a product(him),you are supposed to know your product! A guy should be able to tell Safe-T-Track ,etc.
32 K in the car? Come on now.That isn't the first freakin' lie he has told in his career!
I think I'll EM him and see what he has to say.

Region Warrior 10-28-2009 10:57 AM

He needs a bullit in the head.

78savette 10-28-2009 11:15 AM

I emailed him last night....

I'm interested in your car, but that same car sold for $8300 last month, you state you want 1/2 of what you paid for it, which would be $4150, not $16,000. Which is it?


His first reply was ..... "??????????"


So I tried again, "I was watching this auction last month,#300343183231, seems to be the same car (same content in the ad as well), it sold for $8300, you state you want 1/2 of what you paid for it, which would be $4150, but at the bottom of your ad you say you want $16,000, which would be double, just wondering if that was a typo.."

His Last reply "Sir, I am listing this car for a friend, also you see this is a no
reserve auction and continue to insult by offering $4150. if
this vehicle was truly sold for $8300 you should have
purcased it. I have been emailed 3 listings from fellow
ebayers one says car sold fir $8300, another for $15000, and
another for $7255. This is a no reserve auction, you see it is
currently at $12000 why would you offer $4150? This is
insulting on your part, if I started the car at $4000 no reserve
and there are bidders who think the car is worth more I have
no control over this situation. Thank you for the info and God
Bless!"

78 savette you are great !!!!!!

Zipbar 10-28-2009 12:00 PM

e mail seller sent me: I see you've found your old car, Yeah she looks great, had a couple issues
taken care of, and I meant to call you and give you my appilogies , but I never
stored your number. Well put new p steering pump, got front bumper and lower
quarter repAinted, stress crack on front bumper came back again, i know you
wanted 8,000 but i ended up winning the car fair and square for $8300, i was
pissed when i got it because, i took it to a mechanic down the street from
meband he scared the vrap put of me , then i got a second opinion!!Just bare
with me, I was diagnosed one month prior to buying your car with Hashimotos
diseAse and have been very irritable. I had my friend start the car at $4200 no
reserve and he tells me it's at $12,000. . Oh by the way I never left you
feedback, do u want it? I just bought a 73 sd . Email me your number we'll
chat..
Thanks and God Bless

LOL! It's a nice touch. ;)

Scott M 10-28-2009 04:57 PM

So, how is it that this guy is selling the same car for $4K more than you did, using the same sales venue?
