1964 THUNDERBIRD II ON D'BAY WAS A SCAM I BELIEVE

[Bionic-Joe]

YESTERDAY ON D'BAY I SAW THAT REPAIRED 64 THUNDERBIRD II  AND ON IT WAS  THE PERSON'S EMAIL STATING IN THE LISTING THAT THERE WAS A BUY IT NOW FOR $1300.00. I EMAILED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS REMOVED BY THE SELLER BUT SOMETHING WAS FISHY. I CHECKED THE COMPLETED LISTINGS AND IT WAS NOT THERE, HOWEVER, IT HAD SOLD A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR ABOUT $3,000.00. BEWARE. IF IT ISN'T ON THE AUCTION, BEWARE. THE GUY STATED HIS NAME WAS PAUL WHITE AND HIS EMAIL IS taraf07@gmail.com. THE GMAIL THING GOT ME THINKING. HE SENT ME THE EXACT SAME PHOTOS AS IN THE ORIGINAL AUCTION BUT WASN'T ABLE TO ANSWER SOME OBVIOUS QUESTIONS, LIKE, "WAS THE HEADSTOCK BROKE," ETC. WATCH OUT!!! IF IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS A SCAM!!

The guy that originally sold this told me that it went to France, so as i thought, it was a scammer. Any place that I can report them??

That happened not very long ago with a 60's Bird and a Buzzard bass. Both were $1300 BIN and both were cancelled and not in the completed listings. I had tried to find the Bird auction and when it was missing I searched complete auctions. The pic's for both basses had come from other auctions that had ended about a month earlier.

That's pretty much what happened here. I just wanted to warn all of us!!

He sent me the old pictures too, and I figured it might be a hoax at $1300 BIN.  I just decided not to pursue it.  I wasn't sure though, so thanks for the tip.

Your welcome. That was just way too low for a 60's bird, even a broken one.
