What a deal on a Convertible
-
For some reason my scam alarm is screaming. Anyone else think this is kosher?:eek:

No reserve and only a 3 day auction. If it's not a scam, the seller is taking a big risk. It'll be sold before most people even know it's available.
-
Not a lot of information, only one photo, low starting price, no reserve? Either a Hudson lover's dream - or a nightmare! Hmmm...
-
And now it's been removed. Hmmmmm.

Just took a look at that, as well. My thoughts exactly. Hmmmmm. -
I would say that removing it was a good move. Perhaps the owner is a bit new to the process and was not giving himself ample time to make the deal.Brownie

I placed a bid on this auction, just to keep track of it - It has disappeared from 'My eBay', and since it has been cancelled, I should get a notification from eBay concerning it sometime soon. -
Looked to me to be identical to that convertible that was for sale on ebay legit some months ago. That one had painted wire wheels as well.
Only one pic and no reserve made me go hmmmm...www.hudsonmotorcar.org -

This car seems like an ebay trap... beware...

No info, one picture, and just a yahoo email address for contact...

Within reason, it is probably safe - as long as the buyer is sensible/smart about it...
Is there any HET club members in the Great Neck, NY area? If so, they may be able to confirm the presence of the car, and do an onsite inspection of it. Were it me, I would not send a penny without at least having the car verified and inspected by an independent authority or HET Club Member - and then it would be a COD (cash on delivery).
When corresponding, do not send 'outside' emails or the phone for any eBay auction (unless you've done business with the seller before) - If the seller posts an email or phone number in an auction, I will not use it for any contact. Utilizing eBay's communication provides the buyer, seller, and eBay security with the necessary documentation to support any necessary actions/claims... -
Can any of our computer sleuths do anything with this info? :confused:

Anyone seriously interested in bidding could contact Charlie Salvato in Holbrook, NY, he's in the National Roster. He's well-versed in Hudsons. Great Neck is about 37 miles away.
-
Reason I am skeptical is this car is the identical car that was offered on ebay some months ago by another owner he never sold so I doubt this guy has it and is selling it for no reserve.www.hudsonmotorcar.org

I suppose one way to determine if this is a scam, is to send the seller an inquiry about things that only the true owner would know, such as the serial number, former owner, etc. Or, ask arcane, "only a Hudson owner would know" questions. Or trip-up questions ("Does it have the Flash-O-Matic, or the Vacumotive automatic transmission?").

Wow now its for sale under a different ID. What the heck is up with that.www.hudsonmotorcar.org

Gentlemen,...it's...a...SCAM.
I did email him a question with my junk mail email addy, and to no surprise, he did not answer back. Scam."The time has come", the Walrus said, "to speak of many things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot,

Posting it under two different ID's days apart does not bode well.www.hudsonmotorcar.org

If eBay were REALLY concerned, they would pursue and prosecute these folks... -

OK, everyone sing together now (inn your best Monty Python voices)..."Scam, scam, scam, scam Scam, scam, scam, scam Scammity scam, that wonderful scam!"

Just putting the picture on here so it's available for reference when someone is thinking they've seen it before. 1953 Hudson convertible.

It has nine bids and is at 26K. Someone is taking it serious?Brownie

Gone again -- at least I can't find it now.
I thought this one apparently sold for $100,100.00 on ebay some time ago. Same seller had a '53 Packard Carribean for sale I think around that time too.
Maybe that sale was a scam too ? Hard to believe if someone paid a hundred grand for a car, he'd sell it for 26 !! ( no reserve ).
Maybe he was just testing the market, or the novelty wore off, and he'd rather have the hundred grand now. -
"Maybe he was just testing the market, or the novelty wore off, and he'd rather have the hundred grand now."
My thoughts, exactly! -
It's like watching professional wrestling-you know it's fake but you watch wishing it was real
-
As indicated, it looks like it disappeared...

I am waiting to see if it comes back a third time under another account. All these accounts are low transaction. You know they set them up sell a few small items to get ready for the bigger scam. eBay needs to clamp down but they don't as they could care less as long as you are posting and paying the fees.www.hudsonmotorcar.org
