31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
$9,950 BIN, Restorted '31 roadster.
No feedback history No location, but local pick up only Almost no details/description. Sure looks like a scam to me. What do you think? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1931-Ford-O...lalEWR&vxp=mtr

Re: 31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
Curious? Contact the seller. It looks like a novice seller---or a scam.

Re: 31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
I wonder if the buyer will actually get the car?

Re: 31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
It is marked Sold, so maybe the truth will come out.

Re: 31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
Looked at the ad after it was sold and the sale site says local pick up only, aren't they required to state where the local pick state is??. Or did I miss something?

Re: 31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
too many flags on this one. May have been legit, but to not have location ...

Re: 31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
Who buys a car with a written description like that? ...in an unknown location? ...with no payment terms?
Wiat 'till the price of Nigeria finds this buyer!

Re: 31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
What I can see is that the "bidding is closed". This doesn't mean that the car is sold. The seller ended the listing.

Or did the seller list on this site and eBay? No date on the page, or when it was marked sold.

Re: 31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
When I click on the link, I see a photo of the car with a diagonal banner across it that says SOLD. There is also a yellow stripe along the top of the page that says "This listing has ended".

I think post #15 pretty well proves that this ebay listing was a scam.

Re: 31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
Lots of "fine point" detailing on that car. Looks like it was a Marc of Excellence winner at one of the past National Meets.
Always have to be careful buying on E-Bay. Ray |

Re: 31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
There is no anonymity or privacy any more - not since the internet and social media took off. You'd be surprised what info is out there about you.
