24Chry48 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Did everyone see the 47 Town & Country conv. sell on Ebay this morning for $20,700? It looked like a very nice car, and I was tempted to bid, but the description was quite vague and the location only said U.S.A. If it was a for-real-deal, someone got a helluva deal on a car. Are the Town & Countrys softening on price? It seems a lot are for sale but none are selling and recent auctions have been lower on sale prices. Beautiful cars.

marcapra Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 that's a real mystery unless it's a fake sale by a scammer. That price looks too good. At that price, I'd buy it. There's not enough pics and there is no detailed description except a list of items the car has. And no location is kind of a tip off that it might be fake. It looks like some in another country or in jail copied a few pics and made a fake ad. He has only twenty feedbacks which could be fake as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer09 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 there was one on there not long ago, that was homebuilt. wonder if it was the same car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass is Best Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Only a few pictures, blurred out or no license plates, no description, no location, no way to contact seller... that is a scam. There are scams on all the sites everyday. If the price is too good to be true it usually is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgreen Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Good looking project car, as it was so described. At the sold price of $20,700, the above picture was only worth 150 words rather than 1000. The buyer will have a huge head start on any restoration he does if it is complete.

marcapra Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Quote Good looking project car, as it was so described. At the sold price of $20,700 No, it was not described as a project car. You are confusing the 20K car with this ad which looks very legit to me: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1949-Chrysler-Town-Country-Woody/202424204444?hash=item2f216c3c9c:g:EC8AAOSwoJxbjEoh&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 woodie Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Something doesn't sound right. I have been involved with Woodies for 50 years and 20K for this car is a downright steal. I for one am skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The description is just a few words. Ebay lets you post 24 photos with a car ad. Less photos is a red flag. It means a lazy scammer in most cases.

Brass is Best Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 If somebody has free time contact the seller, tell them you missed the car and ask if they have another one. I bet they do. I also bet it is cheap and that the photos are in a different location. But please do not send them any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcapra Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Another thing about the seller's feedback is he has zero sales. All 20 feedbacks were of things he bought, so the Town and Country is the first thing he has sold on Ebay! I doubt very much that the buyer actually sent him the money. If he did, I think Ebay would get it back for him. This seller now has another car for sale on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-Buick-Riviera/273444551393 Edited September 7, 2018 by marcapra (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwing-8 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Remember too, a seller can sell a hundred $5.00 items to generate a positive sales rating, then list an expensive item that represents a bogus offering........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con games are like paint jobs the good ones require more prep and money, looks like this person did a little more than most con men. The back round for the photos of both cars is too inconsistent for the average private seller, Every con game relies on their "marks" greed Edited September 8, 2018 by John348 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John348 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Well the message I sent to the seller just got kicked back to me as "undeliverable" So he is a con man. here is the email address cartt222@zoho.com Edited September 8, 2018 by John348 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
