g'day all
have people got really parinoid on ebay or am i just senisitive???
i saw this nice black 65 rambler convertible on ebay,wow i thought i like that....$8500, buy it now ...in my price so i send the seller a question asking about car tell him im really interested in his car , and will ckeck shipping cost as i dont wont to stuff him around etc,and in the meantime i got a shipping cost to australia ...$4400 in total in its own container ,and around $1500 in import duty ...great i can afford this !..so landed in oz it was gunna cost me $16000, but its in my budget..im excited
...THEN i get this lame ass reply by the seller
..".please suplly me your name home address /home phone number ,employement details /adress/ and phone number...and i will see wot i can do"....i thought is this guys for real???
>:...he posted his reply on ebay as well,so if i supplied all my info would he would put it on ebay as well???
(, i even sent my personal email to him ...he didnt tell me about the car etc...any way in the mean time my importer has organised a pre car inspection from a servive based in califorina , that was costing me $350US,...waiting for my ok...and contact details of the seller ..in the meantime again, i send the seller another email, tell him that im genuine,asking if he can contact me, via my email/or thru ebay or give me his phone number,asked him more questions about the car....get a reply, says he has to protect his privacy/ ok fine ...but then sell it threw a broker!!!!
answers a question about the gearbox, nothing about rust condition repairs etc ::)and still no phone number to contact him,and stuff all info on the car.!......well i watch the auction to like and the reserve is dropped to $5250....and it then sells for $5700,
f/me!!!
i really really wanted to bid on this car,and own it ...BUT i could be buying a rust bucket ....but most importantly if i won the auction i coundnot get any info prior the sale ,i did not want to think of wot would happen if a purchased it....
sorry if i had gone on, and if i had offended anyone etc i dont know if the seller is a member ...sorry .But this guy just lost a sale of his car at $8500, YES i would had bought it if it was clean,.....his loss . was he freaked out that i was in australia??? maybe he thought i was a bum
and not a car collector like him.
..i will keep looking....but it looked like a nice car!
just had to vent my frustration, im over it ,done over and out
keep cruzin
