So much for not moving, didn't even send me a message either! I guess In a few weeks when someone posts they got scammed I'll just say, I tried to warn you!

This topic has been beat to death here on oldgas. Yet these horses keep showing up on ebay. No amount of posts "warning" about these is going to stop the sale of them. You are wasting your time.

Sorry but when you blow the whistle, you want to make sure you're right! This is definitely an original porcelain "cookie cutter" and a pretty nice one at that! If I lived within driving distance, I'd already be on my way to pick it up!

There are obviously those who do not know about this scam, as seen from these posts. It's the $2500 BIN email me part. The seller keeps changing user IDs and the font of the part of the BIN is just like a Craigslist scam for a $15,000 car for $1900. I haven't emailed the guy nor do I want to. If you do I'm 100% sure he will say send payment to India or somewhere like that! He steals legitimate photos and descriptions and inserts his BS!

Help me out here, please...
Scott's post relates to a Pegasus that is marked T-54 and has one chip behind the front legs... (I am basing my statement on the auction # 110863048110, that Ed Steagall typed in)
The Royalcrown post is about a Pegasus that IS NOT MARKED T-54, has numerous chips, has different painted details (check the front legs for the most obvious differences) # 140820168437
I know I am old and some think I should be quiet... But, please explain to me how 2 different Pegasus makes anything a scam?

This has nothing to do with a Pegasus. This has to do with the seller. He is a scam artist that takes eBay accounts and takes someone else's old Pegasus listing, inserts his buy it now for $2500 BS, then waits for the bait to be taken. The Pegasus he uses is completely legit. If you read the description it's plain as day this is a scam.

So thank you for looking out for myself and the others on Oldgas.

Hopefully, the listing wasn't ended because he baited someone.
