Default Re: So, was I in the wrong for trying to educate the 3bay seller?

Yep, got to be careful with these E-bay Car Flippers. They don't care about cars, they care about making a profit off of cars. I saw an ad for a 1941 Buick a guy was selling--he apparently bought a collection of a few dozen cars. He posted an ad with the initial estate sale/for sale signs on the car. The car was offered at the estate sale for $4,995. The guy sent me the photos and was asking for $9,995. I asked him if there was $5,000 cash in the glove box. He wanted to know why I would ask such a question. I pointed out the discrepancy of the price in the photo and the price he was asking. He said that I wasnt' supposed to see those photos. He then took down all of his ads and cleansed them of the offending for sale signs with his initial estate sale purchase prices on them. Oh yeah, then he offered me the car for $7,995. I told him to take a jump. I don't deal with car flippers. TM
