I just got a call from someone telling me my car was listed on ebay. I said, "no, not mine". Much to surprise my car is up for auction on ebay! Someone stole my pictures and description off my ad here on camaros.net and used them to start an auction. It has only been going for a few hours and is over $25K! I guess I should have put it on myself! I reported it to ebay so hopefully they will stop it soon. Had to share this with all of you. How would you feel if you happen to run accross your Camaro on ebay?

Angelglo, I should have read your post before I saw you were the high bidder on the auction. I just sent you an e-mail thru ebay to let you know it was a scam. I guess you already knew that! For $35K the car could be yours though ;)

Do you have any original docs you could provide to the seller? He may get a better price that way. graemlins/clonk.gif :eek: :D

Do you think he will take a check? Your car will look stunning in my garage. graemlins/waving.gif

I have half a mind to bid $150,000.00 and shut it down myself. -HA! Maybe we could all bid some crazy money on it?!?!

OK, the auction has ended. I prefer wire transfer. So who won the auction, Mike, KZ or Mr. C? Whoever I will even provide shipping to you at your winning bid price ;) You guys are great. What if I had been lying and this auction was legit? :D

To bad Ebay auto auctions werent like their regular auctions where the seller pays a percentage of the sale price.That would really hurt that scammer! :eek:

Ok, i will try to post a pic. This is a pic of my first car, a 1967 Camaro SS-RS Conv. , originally a 396 car with a 4K code, it now has a
aluminum head L-88 427. Lots of options, such as Deluxe interior, Wood and Tilt wheel, Tach and gauges, Speedwarning, P.Top, PS, P.Disc brakes,
Fold-down rear seat, Spoilers, Cowl hood, working RS lights, 12 bolt 3.73 ,
This is the car that brought out a sickness and passion in myself for first generation Camaro's.

Apr 25th, 04, 02:07 PM
The buy it now is set to $19k and you have to be an approved bidder!! :eek: Dana if you can make e-mail contact with this turd you should be able to find out where he's really located and then turn him over to the local law there... graemlins/clonk.gif

This is crazy! The auction had already been deleted by the time I got all of you guys e-mail warning me so I didn't get to see if it was the same guy or get an e-mail address. Hopefully this is the end!

Here's what he/she responded:

Hi there.
Thanks for being interested in my camaro. i just wanted the bidders to know my terms before they bid.
1st of all ( i guess you'll agree with that) the shipping company is NCS and i'll "pay" for it . "PAY" because i kind of work there and this will be free . The car will be shipped from Chicago.
2nd . I will not ship it before i receive either a deposit of 25% on the total amount , or full , depends on your financing.
3rd . the bottom price is 19,000$ . i will not sell it under this price . so if you dont agree with the price , there's no need for you to bid .
I guess that's mostly it . I will wait your response since you are the first to contact me abt this so i'll give you first dibs on the car.
Best regards!! Luca


This is obviously a foreign deal. Nobody in the US puts the dollar sign after the amount.

Apr 25th, 04, 04:13 PM
And again, I asked why the auction ended early:

hi there,
i ended the auction early . i received enogh questions abt this car ( including you) that made me fell certain i will sell it . the price is still 19,000$ so if your interested let me know asap


I replied and asked why he's using somebody else's photos...we'll see what he says.

DWCamaro69
Apr 25th, 04, 06:05 PM
Silver, Thanks for the info. He does write like someone who is not familiar with how to phrase english. The name Luca is the same as what was listed the 1st time. What is the e-mail address he is responding from?

coporic
Apr 26th, 04, 12:57 PM
I would tell him you will buy it for the full price of 19,000$, and where do you send the money to ?
After he tells you where to send the money, tell him you will just come and pick up the car or that you have family in Chicago and that you send someone over who will pay him cash. I would bet all ends after that.

Are you sure someone close isn't playing a prank on you???

Sounds kinda funny to me... Mean, but funny!

Apr 26th, 04, 07:35 PM
Aaron, Trust me it was no joke! Ebay sent me an e-mail that the sellers I.D. had been stolen and was being used by this scammer. Funny thing, someone who was bidding on the 1st ebay auction just bought the car tonight! I guess I owe this thief a commission....NOT
