questionable ebay ad

[tcolley]

Has anyone seen the relisted ad for this car?

They have a buy-it-now price of $12,900 with free shipping! That is ridiculous or is this a pirated ad??

Notice that the serial number for this 427 is for a 289 car:eek:!

VIN 2899447

The PT Barnum theory at work for sure! Hopefully it will get yanked before some poor sucker looses his or her $$$.

I think it is a misprint. He must mean 42,900.00
I emailed them and said I was interested in buying the car for 12,900.00
But wanted to look at it first.
We will see if I get a response.

I know the car and it is a misprint, the price is 42,900.00, I sold him the car a while back and it has way too much engine for him plus he is in construction so that might be the reason for selling.

Allen,

He really needs to correct this ASAP as someone might try to get ebay to make him honor this buy-it-now price.

All,
Despite the language in the eBay ad, there is no Buy-it-Now price that has been included with the auction so there is no actual legal requirement to sell it for that amount. At this point it's nothing more than a (possibly unintentional) dubious advertisement that is drawing attention.

They have not emailed me back yet.
I hope my email has alerted them to the typo.
