FOUND!!!! Ebays BIGGEST Moron

[Hemidoug]

Well, it took a while, but I found ebays biggest jackoff! Just think, you too can be the lucky owner of this original 67-71 R/T emblem for the tidy sum of 85.00. Yep this beauty only needs re-chroming, re-painting, and a stud replaced, but at least it's ORIGINAL. This guy needs to have the crap beat out of him just on general principles!

And check out this dash emblem as well (NOT). Yep, you got it...fits 67-71 as well! Maybe someone should send him a picture of a 71 trunklid to give this idiot a clue.

What a freaking MORON!

Rant over....

[greenrt_se]

and I give my original emblems from my R/T SE to my children to play whit them

[41husk]

that is mild compared to some of the crap on ebay!

[6670charger]

Doesn't quite stack up against the idiot recently who was auctioning off a pair of second gen rear quarters for $14K, stating that only those who had documented, original R/T cars need apply, since anything else just wasn't worthy of his fine wares. 

Then, after some public ridicule, procedes to declare actual war on anyone who made derogatory comments!

It will be darned difficult, if not impossible, to beat him as not only Ebay's, but, anyone else's biggest MORON.

[Hemidoug]

I missed that one. I am so amazed at the shear brazen attitude of some of these people. It really has gotten out of control. No wonder humankind is in such deep crap. It just seems like there is no end to this GREED. I have to believe this is a joke, cause if he is serious he needs help....

[Ghoste]

Greed AND the constant media glorification of overpriced Mopars.

[rt green]

the ad says ....you will not find an origial like this one....  yet it says 15 are avalible

[Charger74]

the ad says ....you will not find an origial like this one....  yet it says 15 are avalible

I was wondering if anyone else would see that.  It says that on both auctions.  This guy really is a tool....

[Charger_Fan]

I missed that one.

That sounds like the one in this thread; http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,19751.from1161890278.html#new

Quite an entertaining read!

[Hemidoug]

Ya know what, at least the guy had listed something usefull and had some knowledge of the cars/hobby. I know the price was out of wack, but he knew what he had and there is no doubt they would be usefull to someone. The guy in the ebay ad I listed is just plain STUPID. I agree his tone was over the top, but I'm sure he got a lot of hate mail over the price (our old friend envy meeting up with greed again). I'm sure those quarters will find a home eventually. The MORON I listed didn't have a CLUE. Thanks for the link!!!

[whitehatspecial]

I will go one step further. The person that buys that emblem is ebay's biggest moron and I  wouldn't be surprised if it does sell.

[daytonalo]

The way I look at it is two-fold , as much as e-bay has helped the car hobby it has hurt it just as bad . The problem is that now every jerkoff thinks his pile of rust is worth a mint . I cant tell how many times I approached the owner of a car I would see sitting in a Field or next to a house and the owner now thinks his pile of rust is worth a fortune because of e-bay or Barrett jackson . They fail to realize money it takes to get a car to that level !

[71_deputy]

MAYBE IF IT WAS RECHROMED, Cleaned and had the posts it would be worth $85.00- but it's just a piece to put on the tool box!!!!!!

[daytonalo]

Got to give the guy an A for effort , its all in the marketing !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hemidoug]

I was thinking more like A for ASSHOLE. Just got to love these buttwipes who come late to the party. Maybe I should start selling NOS air for tires and NOS water for the engine......No wonder this hobby is headed into the toilet!

I thaught I was doing good by getting $20 for the one I had.

[dkn1997]

that auction was so stupid that I think my IQ actually dropped several points from just reading it.

[nitrometal]

Did you guys see an Ebay ad a few months ago when a guy had the letters "Plymouth" that go across the tail end? They were NOS in the original sealed package. He wanted $99.00 for each letter and he had each letter listed as a seperate auction.       I don't remember if he sold them or not.  I'm not in the market for something like that so I have no clue but I thought that was outrageous at $800.00 for the whole set.

[Ghoste]

It is outrageous and I hope he still owns them.

[6pkrunner]

While these are glaring examples of things gone wrong, both these auctions are indicators of out hobby overall. When a new record price is set, some other greedy individual naturally sets the bar a noth (or three) higher for the next auction. The sad part is that there are those individuals who will pay it and run home with their treasures. Now all they did was set the bar higher for the next poor slob that comes along looking to finish off a project car. Anyone really think that 3/4 of the original parts, and reproduction pieces are really worth what we are paying for them?
As the example in another thread of a Mustang front valance for little coin. If it were Mopar - look out. And yes, its all gravy if you are in the selling end of things. But look out if you want to buy something.

Sorry for the rant, but the hobby is going beyond my grasp and it pi$$es me off.

That said, patience and going through all the For Sale sections over and over and over....... does yield some good and fair deals. Not all sellers are gougers, some are true enthusiasts.

[Hemidoug]

You should see all the other overpriced crap he has! Go to his store and check it out, you will get a good laugh. Try this one, the highest price I've ever seen for Super Bee rear bezels....Those things are $50.00 ON A GOOD DAY! You couldn't guess what he wants before you get there!

  what a 

[AKcharger]

Supply and demand, Heck I might put up like a locking gas cap for $1500...if someone buys it great

[Ghoste]

Well if you get 1500, I'm putting mine up for 3500.

You joke about NOS water but I bet if you had an unopened gallon jug of Mopar coolant you'd find yourself a good $200 richer after selling it on Ebay. Did you ever see that NOS Mopar oil filter that sold for around $200 on Ebay not too long ago?

[Ghoste]

This is insane.  It sometimes seems like there are getting to be more threads about monetary value related things than the ones about restoration and driving related things.

[Charger_Fan]

Speaking of which, anybody that pays the asking price for THIS CAR needs an immediate lobotomy.

A 318 car with wrong year fenders.

[nakita7]

As someone who is a TRUE Mopar lover (one who actually likes the cars, doesn't care what they are 'worth'), yes, these examples are absolutely a joke.

If the people that 'own' these fine examples of listings/auctions are on this board, and are reading this thread...give up Mopars, please. You are embarrassments to this hobby. Seriously....

[Silver R/T]

they've been watching too much Barrett Jackson

[bull]

You can get two of these emblems for $70 at Jack's:

[purple70rt]

If someone is stupid enough to pay thay for them, more power to him...........He's just trying to make a buck or 85 of them. 

[hemi-hampton]

That doesn't compare to the Idiot I met on ebay 4 years ago. This clown buys a Burnt Orange 70 Charger all original but no motor or trans. After he buys I ask if he's using the rims/wheels. He sez no, He's tubbing it with a blown Hemi & making a race car out of it. I can have/buy the wheels. I say OK, We agree on a price. Then this Idiot spends well over 3 years telling me every weekend that he's sending my rims, There on their way. This goes on every week for over 3 years of lame excuses & teasing & sarcastic comments. I then offer about twice what he wanted to get him more motivated/serious but he still plays games with me for another year. Total Idiot, Anybody know a Clown in California who just made a Hemi Clone/fake 70 Charger? Forgot what color he painted it? LEON.
