A seller recently caught my eye on EBay for the items they were selling. The user name is travelintiques. They have had some pretty rare items they have sold. I noticed two oil cans sell in a matter of minutes tonight. One was a Sinclair Opaline can and the other was an O’neils rocker can. A couple of red flags are coming up for me.
1. Prices are very good.
2. Every auction says it is new old stock (how is that possible?).
3. The estimated shipping (for my area) is around a month to a month and a half out (that’s a LONG time).
4. They do not accept PayPal; only credit cards.
5. They have been a member of EBay since last year (2018).
Hopefully everything is legit and people are getting some nice deals. Something just seems off.
Just food for thought. Not sure if anyone hasn’t noticed the same thing. They have listed several rocker cans this week. I think all of them have sold.
Here is a link to the Sinclair can...
