PanteraPilot Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 And there is something suspicious about this listing (to me). The ebay auction for this truck ended in mid September for a sell price of $16,900. It was for sale in Massachusetts by a guy name Ron. Two weeks later I saw the same truck on Craigslist in Harrisburg PA for sale by a guy named Scott (it now has 3,000 more miles on it). I'm not saying there is something wrong here, but it made me think twice about the situation. Now its back on ebay in Massachusetts with Ron selling it again.

jaysm35a2 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Maybe the CL ad was bogus, most are. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21129-nice-b81/#findComment-88856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanteraPilot Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Perhaps, but the guy on Craigslist replied to my questions on the truck …. and in great detail. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21129-nice-b81/#findComment-88915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaysm35a2 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Pantera no kidding , does seem fishy. Il bet he has a guy running the auction up too. 18.5k , id be happy with 10k. Maybe he just doesnt want to get rid of it that bad too.After looking the ad over , I guess the END 11.. engine it has makes it worth more.

Maybe a simple question but I've got to start somewherewell,,it seems at hasnt been touched underneath,,other than power washed,,and painted,,for example the brake pots,,and air lines,,look like original,,never been touched,,to bring that big ground up restoration,,value,,you need to thoroughly go thru the bottom,and replace brake cans,and air lines,and air valves,,and brake shoes,and seals,,,rebuilt engine,starter,,new clutch,,everything sandblasted,and acid dipped,,springs rearched,new battery,s this joker hasnt done any of that,,instead he has the odasity,,to print needs wiper blades,,tach broke,steering wheel cracked,,,somebody did a pretty good job,on the body,and cleaned up the inside pretty good,,but other than that,,he,s got no time,or money in this truck,,,and as far as im concerned,,its only worth about 5,G,s...to get 18,500 you would need to buy a something that didnt need anything,,just wash it,and drive it,,,personally i dont even think anybody even offered him 10,000..i think he,s just blowing smoke...bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21129-nice-b81/#findComment-89481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
