low mileage or rollback??

Some poor misguided ebayers had actually bid this phony mileage car up to $3550 --- then sleezy used car salesman or his attorney decided to pull the car stating it was no longer available for sale.

A few weeks ago I almost picked up a 1977 2+2 (i was just buying it to get the recarro buckets and then resell the car) for $1700

then with 2 hours left the seller pullled the car using the same reason

I emailed him and asked if he was taking private offers

turned out that he had a firm $4000 offer but just thought he could get more on ebay so he put it out there ---- but accidentally forgot to put a reserve price -- or some BS

if you are about to get a bargain the seller can pull the item -- just doesn't seem right

You can report that kind of activity to eBay.

I've done that , and they can't do anything unless it can be PROVEN that the seller is doing so to avoid selling the item. Of course they can't/won't/don't investigate much. Even if it can be proved, all they can really do, is to bannish him/her from eBay. Of course he/she just comes back under a different name, email address, and a mail drop-box address. You are essentially at the mercy of any sellers honesty or lack thereof.
