Holy cow. He'll deliver it, provide up to 3 days training on how to use it AND offers to be available even after the sale for help. Wish that more sellers were like that.

I was "W-O-W"ed too, when I first saw the pictures. But then, I noticed that all the pictures were dated from 2003-2004 and there were no recent pictures at all.

Sooooo... Do you still think the combo looks as good today as it did in those pictures from 2003-2004? Being there's no current pictures, I don't.

Let the buyer beware!

If the truck was properly maintained then it's worth the money. But as someone else stated, the pics were dated 2003-2004.. Maybe they actually selling the pics for $15K.

The date on the pics is wrong but there is a note: Date on pictures is wrong; date should be April 7th 2010. Heck for 15K it'd almost be worth a roll of the dice!

IMHO, there's no excuse for having the incorrect date on the photos. Had it been me selling it, I would have put the correct date in the camera and retaken all the pictures again to eliminate any chance of confusion (or suspicion). But, then again, that's me. Obviously, the seller either lacked the technical savvy to do this or just didn't care.

As you can see, I never read anything in the description because when I saw the dates on the pictures (which is the first thing you see), I thought, "What is this guy trying to pull; using pictures that are 6 to 7 years old?" and read no further.

I wonder how many others (who may have actually been interested in purchasing. I wasn't) noticed the antiquated dates on the photos and said to themselves, "looks like a scam", and left without ever reading the description to find out the date was incorrect in the camera. While I don't know the answer to this question, even if it were one person who was seriously looking for an opportunity to buy something like this, the seller lost the sale due to the inaccuracy of the dates in his presentation.

With so many scam artists out there, accuracy is important. Selling anything is just like a job interview. You never want provide a reason to be eliminated from consideration.

If you will note--"Reserve price not met" means that $15000 is simply the starting bid price. What he will accept will be a lot higher--only way to get to the reserve price is to start bidding and be willing to buy if you win.
