EXTREMELY nice, heavily documented 1969 rally green Z on ebay

That's good. It's also funny I just had a younger than me woman paint my porch! No wife here to add unnecessary comments tho!

Interesting that it was re-listed. I wonder if all the bidding was real...

Austin, don't you recognize the non-paying high bidder?  It's "thegmparts" again!  Super scammer!

Paul

So what's the scam? He bids on his own auctions to raise the price? Or is there more here than I know?

The ebay winning bidder is a notorious scammer, not the seller.

I don't really follow ebay much at all but all the horror stories I read it seems to me their reputation is in the toilet with all this scam stuff going on nowadays.  Guess that's why I hear it called "fleabay" quite often.

When I'm looking for a car I don't even do the ebay thing.  If it's on there for a "buy it now" or offered at a price with a "best offer" option, I'll look at it.   If there is any bidding at all, I'm not the least bit interested in the car and I'll keep looking else where.  Guess I'm still old school and just prefer the old classifieds and looking at things in person.  Name your price and lets deal kind of guy without all the monkey business.

Shame there are so many shady people out there.

Well I for one really like eBay. In some sense it brings the swap meet to you. For years and years when I was kid I would have to go to swap meets and deal with these old guys who thought their rusty crap was gold because it was for a Mustang or Camaro. Ebay has humbled a lot of these guys, you can watch an auction get posted a few times with no bids because the opening price is to high, and then email the guy and offer a price. I have gotten many good deals this way. There is a chance when bidding for sure, but with the return policy for poor description, and paypal securing your funds, I have hardly had a time where I  got junk and had to keep it.

For this car, I am not sure why Greg Long would have bid.

I guess I really am old school then, I still love to do the swap meets and see first hand what I'm getting before I buy.  I was going to say next time I'm in Pomona we should hook up, but that doesn't sound like it's doable.

[BULLITT65]

I have been to pomona, I would try it again, But I wasn't really impressed after walking it for 2 hours and not a good deal to be had.

I like going to swap meets where the items are priced to sell. All to often most of sellers hardly sell anything and pack up everything they brought and bring it home. They don't seem to realize they are priced to high, especially when you see how many people turn up for each meet.

Does anyone know what Greg Long's current Ebay name is ? I had a couple of them but they are no longer valid.

[ZLP955]

Charley the relisted eBay wording stated the non-paying high bidder was 'thegmparts'.

[1968RSZ28]

Relisted, apparently due to non-payment by highest bidder.

9-1-15: "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."
