    Angry Buyer beware

    Anyone here thinking about bidding on this vintage machine (190040142924) I strongly suggest you stay away from it.

    The seller is unwilling to provide additional photos of the unit and most of his discretion was stolen from another vintage that was for sale on e-bay. His description states that it the machine was fully tested but he only had 4 balls to test it with. Everyone here who has ever checked out a machine knows you need more than four. This is obviously someone just trying to make a quick buck.

    Sorry this sounds like such a rant. I had to get this out of my system somewhere and yelling at the seller would have done no good. The plagiarized chunks of my eBay listing. It’s sellers like this that give the Pachi Nation a bad name. Some poor schmuck is going to get ripped off and it just get me even more that they are using my words to do it.

    Now that that is out of my syste, back to your regularly scheduled forum.

    Private auction, with a bid history that screams "SHILL", too.
    Thanks for the heads up.

    good find thx for heads up.,
    I saw much of that tom foolery when I was looking for a newer tractor/loader I saw an ad on Ebay for a tractor, nice price free shipping from england! I tried to contact seller and he said what??
    if a sale has an external email to contact, do not bid! contact Ebay! it probably is a ruse!
    the tracktor ad was lifted from machinerytrader.com on a sold previously tractor. same pictures down to the junk piled around the mower deck in the garage. I saw one on the hot Kubota models and John Deere models, way to good to be true. caveat emptor!
    Cheers,
