Well gang, here it is again. The crooks are at it again. Everyone please be advised, this is Ralph White's sign he bought 6 or 8 months ago. Very rare and the crooks are using the SAME pictures. This **** is runing ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEON-FORD-AUTHORIZED...1QQcmdZViewItem

This guy is all messed up... Read the description etc. Jukebox???

Maybe someone should try to contact the bidders and give them a heads up. Also, someone might want to notify ebay. Is there a way to post a question to the seller so the question shows up so bidders can see what this guy is doing?

Also look at the guy's feedback which is zero.

Not cool at all.

I like the part where he can ship juke boxes to most countries, especially Europe. Is this guy on drugs or what!! Guess he figures the Brits won't come gunn-in for him. He must be a majior stock holder in Fed-Ex.

Seems to me I remember that when you ask a Seller a question, it somehow appears within the auction for that item below the descriptions shipping and payment terms.

Why doesn't someone ask (question) why he is selling someone else's sign, saying they smell a rat but not really pointing the finger and crying rat! Just be casual! Make 'em SWEAT!!!!

DOC @ TAG's

DOC, I did e-mail this guy on ask seller a ? and, i think it is up to the seller if he want's the world to see the ?, or keep it private. after all, he's keepig the biders private so no ont can e-mail them. any one that has been on e-bay for some time can spot this con right off. feel sorry for them new e-bay-ers that are biding on this. my ? i e-mailed him was a mouth-full..

I'm bidding on this till the very end... do you think I'll pay the seller... NOT... my feedback is strong enough to take a hit if he wants to leave negative. Gonna keep him strung along... should be fun.

i emailed him and asked if he would sell me the sign off ebay. this is the email he sent me....... Hi
This sign is in nice shape. Everything is in really nice condition. Please
refer to the pictures for an accurate description. I will ship it from
Granada, Spain where I am currently located. I will end my auction soo so I
can sell it off ebay. For security reasons I preffer using escrow.com. I
will ship it to you very easy. You will just have to pay an extra $60 for a
crate chosen by you. You will also get a 5 days inspection. We can split
the taxes. The BYN is $4500
I uploaded an archive with the pics and you will have to dowload it for
there. I got many emails requesting pics and I have a bad internet
connection. here is the link:

His response:
Hello Jason
There is a typo in my listing, thanks. I will also include shipping in the BYN so the price is fair. I will ship from Granada, Spain. I cant sell under $4300 (with shipping included). Tahnk you, Martin


If nothing else we are driving him crazy. Have a good one. ~Jason

I was thinking. Let's see who can get this guy to agree to the lowest price. He's down to $4300. Who can get him to go lower?

i emailed him i told him im only 20 miles away would like to pick it up hven't heard back yet
