Yep – You almost need a video to buy a car sight unseen. Amazing how many cars exchange hands through eBay to buyers that never lay hands on them before the transporter drops it off.
Just sold a couple OT collector cars on eBay. First buyer never asked a question before or after the sale, except where is it located. Sent $6K cashier’s check to me in Washington, with the truck located in SoCal. Still no red flag raised. Was very happy
when they came and fetched it home themselves. I did disclose briefly it’s troubles, like “rust in usual places” – “runs on 7 cylinders”. But did not provide pics of the rust or engine. Did not state condition of tires etc. A seller is only going to show
or say so much. They may not know some of the flaws.
The other car I had a buyer negotiate after the 1 week ad closed, $750 below what I really considered it was worth. Post up a new listing for him, he buys it then refuses to send
a $7K cashier’s check per the stated standard eBay listing terms. Demands to pay by credit card or PayPal so he can do a charge back – “In case the address is a vacant lot”. Says he will just do a charge back on the $500 deposit if I refuse. I put in a
mutual agreement to cancel the transaction – he agrees – eBay refunds the $125 listing aka final value fee – so I refund his full $500 – and block him from bidding on my listings. List it again for $750 more and it sells the same day! That buyer sends a
cashier’s check no problemo.
You get all types……….. ; )

Ray,,,,,,I have my doubts that pics. mean that much to most people,pics. only show what the sender wants shown
About a year ago I sold a 65 880 convertible to a list member for less than the one advertised, put a battery in it, added a boat tank so as not to destroy
the carburetor with polution, and helped load it on a car carrier after dark on a gravel road to help assist it's delivery, stored it for several months after sold, all of this was done at the original sale price, and did not even get acknowledgement of
it's delivery, sorry but I have the feeling that the buyers are not doing anything on their part to promote sellers to do any more than put it out there,,,,,,,,, since then I have also sold a 63 (also site member) Valiant wagon with a 383 tunnel ram, and
a 64 dodge wagon with poly, and have received nothing as far as even a thank you for my time or trouble in assisting in the final delivery of the vehicles, I am through with trying to find homes for the projects that I will not have time to finish in my life
time, from now on if anything leaves my ownership it is going to be because the new buyer is paying me for my time as well as what they are receiving, I am through with trying to help others out and spending my time to provide them with something that is half
of ebay price,,,,,,,,,,,
Likewise, I am amazed at the photos you see.
I asked for a pic of a car I was interested in, I got a pic that showed the car from the front pillar back, plus a full and uninterrupted view of the shed behind
the car!
Can't people aim a camera? I don't blame computer semi-literate ones for not knowing how to crop a pic, but taking the photo in the first place shouldn't be so
hard.
Blame phone cameras, perhaps. But the other issue is the ever-growing resolution of digital cameras and phone cameras, soon we won't be able to e.mail them without
reducing their file sizes and then we'll be in big trouble!
Sure, I can do it, most people here probably can too, but lots of people wouldn't have a clue.
