Maybe old news, but whats up with these mostly new compact tractors with loaders etc. Some even with 16 ft. trailers. I just viewed 3. all had the same serial no. 9999 from different parts of the country? There is an old saying about things being too good to be true, right? I'm a little scared to bid . thanks. Will.

Scam for sure ! another thing they usually want you to send money western union never send money this way because if you do it's gone forever and no way to trace it. My friend once in awhile will tease these people on, using a spare email account make them think they have a sucker up until the very end,once one even offer to make him a partner after they caught on he was playing them.

I see these "too good to be true" items on Ebay. One thing I notice is that the suspicious auctions often make you email to get "Qualified" before you can bid. I imagine this is a ploy to harvest you email address & other personal info. I would not touch those items with a ten-foot pole.....

Either a scam, or a China import - not worth any money. Extremely poorly built. No parts support.

Email the "safeharbor" dept. at ebay with the auction umbers and your concerns. Chances are the scam auctions will be "pulled" within a few hours.

First, let me tell you there is a reason those tractors are on e-bay, it's because they will not sell any other way, in other words, people who know what these tractors are will not buy them. Second, the fact that there are 3 tractors from different parts of the country, but all 3 have the same serial number should alert you to the fact that this a scam. Chances are that none of these tractors even exist, or if they do, they belong to someone other than the seller.

I forgot, one was a kubota and two John Deeres. [I know yanmars.] All with real low hours and in the $3ooo range. An other thing, the number of clicks on the counter is 0 in some cases where a old International might have over 770 clicks????I"m 69. I"ve been taken before. Was just wondering if others had any experience on these sites. Thanks for your time. Will.
