I'm always leery of a auction that doesn't feature a photo of the
acutual item, just a jpeg lifted from the mnfr's site.
Yeah, they yanked it shortly after I emailed their fraud dept about the
auction.
Nothing to see here, move along...

eBay is pretty good about that sort of thing, yes.

Like many others, I have bought stuff from a $5k JLG 40-ft boom manlift
to a forty-cent antique door handle from an old barn. I have so far not
had a problem but I've never patronized a seller w/o a significant
positive history--that seems to be a key.
BTW, IMO the lift would qualify as a major "gloat" if I were of that
ilk... :)

Actually, if you're really interested, the fellow I got this one through
is a broker who almost always has units available....he's in FL but
brokers all over the country. The unit I got was in Chicago area but
trucking was only $800 (and he paid $200 of it because he was "sure" and
promised it should only be $600 when I asked and offered to (and did)
take the difference).
Also, if you're in the Denver area by any odd chance, I saw a 45-ft unit
in last weeks FastLine used equipment digest at a place just east of
Denver just off I70. I'm debating seeing what I could do w/ them as I
can't <quite> get to the top of barn cupola w/ the 40-ft reach and I
still have the top cap, lightning rod and weathervane to put back. If
they'd swap for a small difference the other 5-foot reach would make
that a much easier proposition than gearing up w/ scaffold, etc.

The JLG web site showed non-refurbished units of the same type (just
through the same operational safety checks required by OSHA) as from $20
to $30k at the time...the $5k minimum bid seemed like a good gamble...
:)
Did have to replace a head gasket but other than that it's been
virtually flawless in the five years since I got it... :)
> They work great for decorating very tall xmas trees.
Yeah, I put a small cedar on the top of the barn when we finished the
roof to celebrate... :)

Funny how each of the other two saws went for the exact same price of $660.
Unless, of course, that was a reserve price but the current auction doesn't
show a reserve so I doubt it.

If you use Paypal (which is owned by ebay) you can file a claim against
a seller but only for very specific reasons. Check the ebay website for
reasons.
I bought a wireless router (the computer type, not woodworking type)
last year that was delivered DOA. I went round and round with the
seller who was claiming the router was sold "as is, no refunds".
He claimed it had a manufacturers warranty, but they refused to honor it
because it was sold on ebay.
Bottom line, his auction information was false, I filed a claim, Paypal
agreed and refunded my money. I shipped him his DOA router back and
dropped the bomb on him in feedback.

Must've smelled wrong to eBay, too. It's not there anymore.

Once upon a time, an auction of a bicycle featured a photo of one of MY
bikes, lifted from my site. Sometimes, even a so called "actual photo"
can't be trusted.

If you cannot establish the legitimacy of the seller, don't bid.

Even more interesting is that the same bidder (sjtracy99) jacked the
price up to the same amount on each auction and has no feedback at all
even though they've been a member since Jan 03. This whole thing
stinks to high heaven.

I rarely buy off Ebay and it's mostly little things but I could get burned quite

I learned a lot here and I'm glad you guys in the know are taking a pro active

Good point. I missed that.

When I used to frequent the eBay NG it abounded with stories of ppl in
lengthy fraud disputes with PayPal and eBay. No replies to emails etc.

Looks like they took your report to heart, the auction doesn't even
come up any more.

I cant get anything to come up on that item number. What was it? Ebay must
have removed it.
