These people are going to be pissed off, at the bottom of the ad it says it's for pictures only, 10grand is expensive for pictures, hmmm

 

wow

I hope people read before they bid

 

Wonder how legal that is.

 

it looks legit... i mean why wouldn't someone have a non production GM showcar for sale.

some peoples' kids.

 

People are actually bidding on this, it the first real bid was $5000, now its really up to $10000

 

When the aurction ends the people wont have to pay. All they have to do is contact ebab and dispute the auction. Thats just like false advertising.

 

But he does state right in the auction that you are bidding on just pictures of the car only. Hmm.

 

Ive looked at the high bidders history, apparently he doesnt pay on his bids often, so im sure he wont this time.

 

well here's another thing to add to all of this. Sometimes on Ebay the seller has a person pushing the bid up to get a higher final offer. Looking at this auction it looks as if this is going on. The first bid was at $5,000, who in their right mind offers $5,000 as a first bid? The other thing I'm looking at is the number of bidders. There is only 2 bidders, looks as if the seller has 2 people bumping the bids up since no one else is bidding on it. I have seen sellers try to hide the real info before and when Ebay staff reviews the auction the seller typically gets suspended from Ebay for 3-6 months or the are permentally evicted from the site.

 

10,000 grand is an alot of money? lol
i think you mean 10grand. sorry just hade to correct you.

 

Well, it is listed in the "Automobilia, Original Photos" category, so they'll really have no one to blame but themselves

 

The sad thing is that this is simply preying on stupidity.

First the seller is stupid to think this will work,

Second the buyer is stupid for not paying attention.

That is assuming the two people who have bid on it are legit.

It does look kinda fishy being that the seller has only sold two things on there before, one of which was pictures of a Carrera GT for $0.99 and $35.00 s&h. Which, amazingly enough, was won by the current high bidder for the pictures of this Cobalt, so it does seem extremely suspicious.

The buyer would know it was pictures because he/she has already purchased a similar item from the selller, so why would someone bid 10 grand knowing it was only pictures?

Villain

 

lol.....the description of the car is a total bs.....the seller just copied the whole thing from the site and pasted it there.........plus it doesnt say which model or color they are bidding on........lol.........but there are ppl bidding it....:P

 

The good thing is, the seller is only screwing himself. He will have to pay a nice chunck of change to ebay sellers fees for something that doesnt even get paid for.

 

Wouldn't he get a refund of at least some of those fees if the buyer doesn't complete the transaction?

 

From the way i understand it, you have to relist the auction, then ebay will refund the previous fees, then charge you with the new fees, If IT SELLS. So.... he had better end the auction early, or pray it sells for $.99 the second time around.

 

I just checked and eBay has already removed that listing. Looks like they're on the ball.

 

good thing they did there would be a lot of angry people about that
