It must be Memorial Day coming up for most of you folks. See how this wants to celebrate. http://video.chicagotribune.com/global/video/popup/pop_player.asp?clipid1=1464914&at1=News&vt1=v&h1=... Not for me thank you very much. Jack

Dave, This looks like a SCAM Read the guys feedback, he has sold nor bought anything for two years.Look at the address for emailing to him, I think it is a Phishing trip, I would touch it. He didn't even let you know what part of the country it is in, Probably some place overseas I may be wrong but this tractor was offered about two months ago.The pics look kind of familiar, nobody in their right mind would offer all that mixed equipment for 5.5 Bills. Jack

how can he have 41 pos feedback for the past month when the first feedback on the list is for 2006, I didn't know you could cook the books on ebay. ]:)

It's a scam. Those hackers have some amazing talent, too bad they don't use it to make a legal living. CJ]:)

Gentlemen, Carefully study the feedback file of this guy. First of all, he is in Canada. It says so under his ID in the box at the upper right. Second, you have to click the "all feedback" button to see what he has bought or sold recently. He has a lot of activity in 2008. I don't think it is a scam at all, just a desperate way to sell the tractor. B-)

He has a bid in on one of my RR cars. If he wins, maybe I can trade it for his tractor.

If you notice this item has been removed from the listings. It appears that maybe I was right and this was a Scam. This Listing Is Unavailable This listing (140208938777) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number. If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it canceled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay. If you had tried to ask the seller a question you would have been directed to a MSN site by direct email instead of going through the eBay ask a question form. Somebody has reported this to Ebay and they scrubbed it from the lists. I went to the JD site and added all the cost of the same tractor with parts and it came to $35825.00 plus what ever taxes. $5500.00 sure sounded like a phony. I see this quite a bit in the motorcycle section where they get into your address and try to sell a 25000.00 bike for 5 to 6000.00 dollar range. I had put this on my watch list and it was deleted approx 11.00 hours today. I then went to Daves entry on it and tried to look at it again and eBay had deleted the item.

It was a scam, in the listing it said to email him at another email address rather than ask him a question through ebay. That is a sure sign of a scam. I dealt with someone selling a 1971 Trans Am at an unbelievable price. He had the same scam going as this yahoo. What they do is hi-jack someones account, get you to contact them with the outside ebay email thing, then they tell you that they will cancel the listing and sell you the item outright. They will even offer to send the item to you with a couple of thousand dollar down payment, then you can inspect the item, and send them the rest of the money if the item is up to your standards. You pay the down payment or the entire price, they laugh all the way to the bank. I really made it sound like I wanted the Trans Am, and offered up several ways to pay for the car. He wouldn't give me a phone number, but I had him call me. I smelled the rat right away, and played along with him until it was time to send him the money. He sent me a nasty email calling me an @sshole. I sent his caller IDed phone number, and his emails to The FBI, they were already investigating him, and said that he would be arrested soon. The FREE SHIPPING is a dead give away too. CJ]:)

Another reason to use Paypal cash or credit cards. Gives two ways to recover your money if you do fall for a scam. Trouble with this seller is that he was a good buyer and seller according to the feedback. The scammer must have stolen his ID. Now the poor guy will have to change his ID I'll bet. I'm glad I only buy small items. I also would never think of buying a car on ebay. I want to see the darn thing first. B-)

For those into cars and hot rods; http://jalopnik.com/361391/boyd-codd...dead-at-age-63

I watched his reality show. It was a shock this morning when I read that he had passed away. Gene

[barrysfp45]

WOW, there is no way I would have ever worked for him and he really was an a s s hole to his employees ( according to the show ) but he built some nice cars, 63 not that far away is it. ]:)

Yea Barry, it was a pretty poisoned atmosphere to work in. SOme of the jack asses that keep their jobs like duane the supervisor. a lot of managemnt problems. BUT... hard to say how much is true and how much blown out of proportion for TV. I used to like Orange COunty Choppers when it first came on TV but the money and success went to their heads when they started wrecking thir trucks for fun,etc. They are just a bunch of (almost redneck like) idiots. Arlen Ness is the class act for bikes and personality. Met him a couple summers ago.

Dave, I used to watch Am. choppers but after Vinnie left I haven't had the desire to watch them. Rick should go work with Vinnie and Cody. Monster Garage and Foose's show were interesting and trick my truck seems ok. Unique whips I just can't get into. Gene

[barrysfp45]

I watched the OC dudes build the ERAGON bike on pay for view at my sons place last year and it was the one that impressed me the most, I collect diecast cars and bikes and I asked the guy that runs a big diecast supply shop in Queensland if he could get me that bike, no way as the OC guys had put such a big ask price for the lisence when it was due that the makers of the models backed out of the deal, the only one in the series I would buy I can't get, they really are another bunch of a s s holes, I do like most of FOOSEs cars but don't have any of his in the collection, I mostly like classical hot rods and early drag cars, what I grew up with I guess, one show I couldn't get into was pimp my ride, man how many Mexican cars do we need, although I do like low riders, just not all the crap like TVs and fake fur yuck. ]:)

[dl85vette]

I haven't seen Am Choppers in a long while. Vinnie left? wow!! where did he and Cody go? The show's antic got stale after a while, ya get tired of their childish temper tantrums, door smashing, ass kicking vehicle wrecking, destructive mentality. Mikey is a retard. I think he should be on Ridalin. Has the mental capacity to take the trash out and not much more. mooch off daddy. Chip Foose is straight forward. Not into the stupid bling bling pimp my ride sh_t. Just designs and builds clean looking customs. And done quite tastefully too. I can't stand that Unique Whip show. I just can't stand listening to their gangster wannabe language/accent. Can't stand the tacky looking customs. I have no time for people that gotta have a tv in the tunk to show it off at a car show. pointless. Saw a truck at a local car show here that had TV in box with video game controllers. Like do you go camping or something and sit on tailgate and play?? ANother yutz with a small LCD tv under engine hood of a chev cavelier. I hate this tuner car, bling bling stereo, pimp this shyte generation. Long live American big blocks. and small blocks too. nothing like a V8. If you're reading this Barry, Holdens and the Ford Falcon are cool Saw the falcon in 2001.
