Here is something I see with tractors and other things but this is the first snowcat scam I've seen on Ebay. He even offers FREE shipping worldwide. It is claimed to be located in the US, but the pricing is in Euros. It probably is in the US, and probably on a legitimate dealer's lot, but that is probably not who is selling it!

Ebay says the link is invalid/removed ??
Wow that was pretty quick response from Ebay. I had been complaining to them every day for the past 5 days about this auction, so finally on day 6 of a 7 day auction they respond. :mad:

I emailed Ebay on probable scam on this unit over a week ago. It seems to go away and reappear almost daily. They are only interested in making the listing fee and not protecting the people bidding.

BUYER BE WARE - If it sounds to good to be true it is a scam. :confused2:

Now there are three of them!

A search on 1979 tucker sno* shows one in the category
Health & Beauty / Exfoliators, Scrubs. It's located somewhere around Antelope Valley, 60 miles east of Los Angeles. That one looks like the best deal, only $2900. and lots of pictures. Ebay seller bluemary379, but for BuyItNow email to petreaba26@yahoo.com.

Then some guy in Madison West Virginia has two of them listed in Antiques / Chandeliers with a BuyItNow of $4000. Ebay seller vivv, for BuyItNow email to MFtrade@gmail.com. Only one photo is used for both auctions - one of the Los Angeles photos.

That's the same photo that ran with completed auction 320039370807 by a different guy who coincidentally is also in Madison, West Virginia. Also listed in Antiques / Chandeliers. That one got eleven bids and the winner got a good deal, only $1,175. How can they call this model 'rare' when there are three of them in one tiny town?

I just checked back before posting this and they have all disappeared. However the Google link to the completed auction is still good, even if ebay's search engine has dropped it. See

Bob and everybody, the way to take these auctions down is scroll down the auction to Report This Item and click on Outside Link. That informs ebay they will lose their sales commission. They take one look and step on it. They apparently ignore all the other choices.

Well the scammer is back on eBay. This time he has listed a Bombardier Bombi unit. And he listed it in several different auctions so you can buy it several times!!! He also has about 100 other items like bulldozers, tractors, boats and trailers for sall. All are offered at $27.

Recognize these photos? This Bombi sold on eBay several months ago. I must admit, it is a heck of a deal. Under $28. No Reserve. Worldwide shipping. :cool2:
