Ebay RS/Z28

x Baldwin Motion · #1 07-28-2009, 03:02 AM

If I were selling a car on ebay and thought I was a pretty knowledgable guy about my Camaros, I would not take the word of a tire kicker sending me an email. Maybe even if someone were to send this gentleman a link to this discussion he may not choose to except the word of all the experts here.
After reserve has been met he can not alter the description. He should cancel the auction, investigate the claim, and at least contact the person he bought the car from if were so recently. JMHO

Maybe he knew about the tag and just dosen't want to lose his shirt?

From Ebay (the within 12 hour rule) If the seller's item has already received a bid/purchase or ends within 12 hours, the seller can only:
Add to the item description, add item pictures, or add a second category. (Exception: If the seller's listing already has a bid/purchase AND ends within 12 hours, the seller can't add to their description, add pictures, or add a second category.)

Cancel is the only option and the right thing to do.(JMHOA)

The sad part is that if that car isnt a Z28,and the resto is as clean as it looks{not 100% accurate but nice} the seller might loose money on the deal.Nice car for that price,fake or not.

First we don't know if the car is fake, just that the tag is. That being said the owner should pull the ad and pursue the seller he bought the car from.

Regarding the price I wouldn't spend 60K for a questionable Z in this market. Fake tag, no docs and no pics of stampings.

Another point is that this is a forum to expose questionable cars. I am not into nit picking this or that, however if the owner has been notified about the tag, he should at least verify the information provided. By doing so we may save him from a legal headache once the next owner becomes aware.

THIS AUCTION IS REAL AND IF WINNING BIDDER IS NOT TOTALLY DELIGHTED WITH THIS EXTREMELY RARE CAR THEY CAN WALK AWAY WITH NO OBLIGATION.

i hope the high bidder knows someone who will point out the tag.

Maybe this is how this car got it's start.

This "Bucket of Tags" guy gets beaten up frequently on-line, and I've come to think that it's just sour grapes.

Seems to me that he was a forward-thinking, visionary businessperson that took one man's trash and made it many men's treasure(s), and at a very high profit margin.

Genius.

What a bonehead statement... insinuating that people look down on this fraudulent behavior out of jealousy. It's called integrity, buddy.

Perhaps you admire this guys antics because you are actively up to the same types of shenanigans yourself. Maybe like 'King Midas' you are fond of turning the crap you touch into gold.

Jerk.

The guy obviously filled a bucket with crap and threw a dozen tags on top to make it appear it is full. On top of it they are all aged fake tags. Are you really that gullible??

Mr. Midas, if you feel that counterfeiting model/option tags is a stroke of genius then I think you may want to find another website. I know you are contrarian by nature but justifying this guy’s action is counter to what this site is about. You may want to take your act to a clone, tributes or reproduction website. Your coment is just
