Amazing...what some people do... I do remember seeing your truck for sale on Rc Tech...tried to get my friend to buy it

Unreal!! The first 3 pics(which are yours) don't have the "Sunshine RC items for sale" sign on them.

Have you reported it to Ebay?

Who gives a 0 rated seller $1600 for a truggy? Someone looking to get ripped off.

You really should report it to ebay asap, maybe the guy was just lazy on the pics, or maybe hes about to totally hose some guy. I know I'd want someone else to give me the heads up if I were so foolish.

yes i just notified ebay

Before ebay changed thing arounds you would have been able to contact that buyer.

Looks as though the winner bidder only has 6 deals on ebay and less than 30 days as well. Maybe he'll "deadbeat" the guy and it will all wash..............this time.

Hey maybe the winner bidder is local to Jacksonville.

Or he loses $1600 right from the get go using ebay.

Nice, I hope the seller get fubar'd. Paypal holds the money for a while too, so we'll see what happens. :)

Looks like he has parkingsons or something... He must be that guy who shakes it a bit too much in the men's restroom...

He's baiting with the poor pictures, looks almost like they were edited. Send an email looking for better pictures like the ad calls out and I expect he will try something.

When I saw this thread about an hour ago I decided to run a search and sure enough I found someone that used my current e-revo auction ad and pictures to post something last night. It only took ebay 5 minutes to pull it down after I reported it but in this case it was a seller with a rating of 8, not high by any means but still surprising they would try something like that.
