Thanks for the previous information regarding the vaule of the 36B double that old gas members provided me. It is now listed on ebay although i now know why i dislike ebay so much and regretted hitting the "list" button the moment i hit it. I would be more than happy to entertain old gas offers and can send pictures if needed. Had a new baby on saturday and selling favorite gas pump on sunday,,,you guys know how expensive diapers and formula are????!!! thanks again for previous help. Jay (please contact me directly at jhopeck@bblinc.com if interested)

Jay, Congadulations on the new Born, yup I know the cost of all that stuff , but I was a little luckier than you because when my kids were born I wasen't paying 4.00 a gal for gas. I wish you luck on your pump , its one very cool piece.

I can't find it on eBay. What's the auction number?

Are you eBay member jhopeck ?

What a great pump! Much as I would LOVE to bid on this beauty, I would dread the time I would have to tell my wife that the vacation cruise money went to buy another old gas pump. I think she'd throw me in the bayou and I'd be so much gator bait.

Robert; an old master taught me how to collect these pumps and stay married at the same time. Honesty and truthfulness is the best method. Just tell your wife you got a terrific deal on a rare 36B twin for $752.50, as a trade she can go buy a nice new dress and pair of shoes (the women love shoes)works every time!! you do have the secret cash-stash in the shed toolbox correct?

I'll give ya $752.50 for BOTH TOPS [that's all I can afford to have shipped].
Do you have any extra 36B Twin castings ?
db

heres the pump!! awsome pump and it still has both tops!!good thing gas is as high as it is,cause it would cost db a small fortune to get out there and scalp em

Dick:
You hit the reserve which i set off of this sites conversations and i will throw in the tops for free!! and i also have a 36B parts pump i will give. it has a complete base casting but its a single, not a double. I would separate the twins into the two units and crate the pump in 2 wood shipping boxes if you cover the cost on material only (and arrange shipping pickup)Seems like the West Coast has the bigger collectors but gas costs are holding many back.

I just got an email from ebay saying that they cancelled my bid and removed the auction from ebay. Are you going to relist the pump, and why did they remove it?

visit my website for original gas pump parts

Already relisted with no reserve. I have %100 positive feedback but said I didn't want to accept Paypal on this and they pulled the listing. I apologize to any Oldgas members that bid on the pump. Its official EBAY is off me Christmas card list!!!
Again its relisted with any payment accepted and no reserve.
Thanks. Jay

Ebay is FORCING SELLERS TO ACCEPT PAY PAL PAYMENTS. B... S...

I agree DB they're getting arrogant as he.. Ron;;;;;;;;;;;

Live and learn with EBAY. I didnt mind the insertion fee, the reserve fee, the one extra photo fee, the percentage of final sale fee, the relisting fee once they unlisted the item and the internet surcharge fee but they then force me to use thier own Paypal company, as a acceptable payment, which will take another percentage fee...... one of you guys must be a IT genius and can set up a Oldgas.com auction site with just a "thanks for enjoying the gas pump collecting fee"
Jay

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but ebay isn't forcing sellers to accept paypal!! I am on ebay right now and find a number of auctions that don't accept paypal, check out auction #120261396904 for a visible. If the seller wants credit card payments then they do need to accept paypal. To me, no different than the auction I went to this last weekend where we had to prove by cashier check or credit card limit(s) that we could afford to purchase items.(we couldn't afford anything, lol) We needed to do this before they would give us a bidders number.

Bob,

From the ebay web sight:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/payment-method-accepted.html

Note: To keep eBay a safe place for both buyers and sellers, sellers who register after January 17, 2007 are required to offer either PayPal or a merchant account credit card as an accepted payment method for their items.

Also, when I list an item with an account started about 5 years ago but that has limited feedback (55), I get this message:

Because of your limited transaction history on eBay, you must offer PayPal or a merchant credit card as a payment method for this listing. PayPal is the safer, easier way to receive payments on eBay

When I sell with an account that has over 800 feedback I'm not required to accept paypal.

Hope all this helps.

Lurker:
you right on with why i got the EBAY paypal boot. Been a member for over 6 years but only 15 transactions, regardless if i have 100% positive feedback. Cant change the price of a gallon of gas and cant change corporate greed.It is/was frustrating when i was just trying to list a gas pump and make for a easier transaction to both buyer and seller. then to top it off i didnt properly edit the relist so i am sure they will boot me again, but thats just life, i will keep trying until i get it right!!.
Jay

EBay makes ALOT of money from paypal, so I'm sure it won't be long before everybody is required accept it.

Not only that, but now they're holding your money to see if the buyer complains, and if they do then they return the money to them. Referred to as a chargeback. The buyer is "supposed" to return the product (on your dime of course) but it's becoming quite a scam for an empty box to show up on the porch. You lose your widget & your money.

If they don't complain, then you get your funds after 21 days. Imagine all the interest eBay is getting on all this money.
Of course now you, the seller, can't even leave them a negative feedback anymore if there is a problem.

Thanks for the heads up. I noticed that it reads " Either Paypal or a merchants credit card". At least the way I read that statement, ebay still gives one an option. I have sold only a few items and it has been awhile, so I most likely am wrong.
