    Some of the descriptions of ads are hilarious. I would love to see some of these triple muscled calves in the flesh.

    Spotted that after Bizz,

    you would be well wary of his fertility after the name alright... i can only just imagine what actual bull is like if he getting pics off of the net rather than his own animal, he might have him on a crash diet:)

    Same Website had a few tractors up about 7-10 days ago a JD and a massey I see them on the site still. I say it is a scam they be looking to be paid through a shipping company, if your buying go and see the tractor but I would not waste my time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,284 ✭✭✭Figerty


    Had a look at the address on Google street view.... there doens't appear to be a 56 Talbot Road, Dunham-on-the-Hill, Frodsham, United Kingdom WA6. But you can't fully trust Google either.

    If it looks too good,, then it is usually too good to be true...

    It is a 2WD though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,284 ✭✭✭Figerty


    Same Phone number turns up on the following..different 'company'

    Ad. removed from Donedeal last night by the seller..didn't like the heat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,326 ✭✭✭Farmer Pudsey


    Was it taken down by seller or DD as if someone reported it to DD it would be taken don they are good that way. There was one about 2 years ago on DD shipping from the USA I reported it and they took it down

    Farmandplant.ie has an interesting seller - same tractor and two differnt prices:
    http://www.farmandplant.ie/Used-Farm-And-Plant-For-Sale-Ireland/Zetor/Dublin/169149

    comms back from seller when I ask to view tractor: not for viewing due to previous timewaster, will sell through eBay and seller only gets paid once tractor is delivered etc:

    The sellers email address gets google hits for selling stuff from the UK
    #############
    Hello,
    Its still for sale. Immaculate condition, no damages, nothing to worry
    about. All necessary documents available. My current location is
    Scotland due to my work commitments,If this is going to be a quick
    sale, I will let it go for £4000 delivered at my costs. Are you
    familiar to eBay? I will list the tractor on eBay Motors for the £4000
    buy it now price and I will send you a link to my auction, so you can
    buy it immediate.
    As soon as you will confirm the payment to eBay, I will proceed
    delivery without any additional costs for you.
    In case you are not familiar with them, please read their Buyer
    Protection and will see that they cover 100% the transaction done
    through them up to £50,000. You will receive the tractor with all the
    documents. As you know eBay is the best company of online transactions.
    If indeed interested in buying it and have the funds, I will list it on
    eBay, as I have a 100% positive feedback with them.
    Please let me know your decision.
    Thank you

    Hi
    eBay sound great but I would need to view the tractor before and deal
    is done.
    Where could I see the tractor?
    Thanks

    ###########

    Due to my location and since view is not an option I have requested personal support and I was approved to use Buyer Protection Program. Here is how the process works through the Buyer Protection Program:

    - I make the private listing on eBay for you,
    - you go and buy it through their website,
    - you have to pay for the item to eBay to secure the funds,
    - they confirm me that they received the funds,
    - I deliver the tractor,
    - you receive the tractor,
    - they send me the money,

    Everything is covered by eBay. I will get paid only after you confirm that you received the tractor order.
    Let me know if this is acceptable. Thank you

    Sorry for this but last time when I had someone interested he said, yes please keep it for me he made me wait for 10 days then he came to see it and then told me yes I would definitively buy it but I still need to get the bank loan. So sorry, I`m a 56 year old woman, don`t really have the time to arrange another viewing. If you don`t like it ebay will just refund you the money. As simple as that. Thanks

    Im not sure if you are thinking about purchasing this tractor. If you are, trust me think again. This is a complete scam. Ive seen it a few times and know someone who was caught by it. Ive played along with it once or twice by sending emails back and forth and I can guarantee you its a scam.

    Jaysus no way am I gonna buy. I even sent info about the ad to customer services at farmandplant and of course got no reply and ad still up.... i'm beginning to not like that site
    cheers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,552 ✭✭✭pakalasa


    I looked at adds on Farm & Plantg recently and at a guess, I'd say 10% of them are scams. Even by just looking at the photos, it's obvious that they weren't taken in Ireland. Farm & Plant is a crap site anyway. Donedeal is much better and they will take down dodgy adds straight away. I have complained about a few from time to time and they always e-mailed me back thanking me for reporting these dodgy scams.

    +1. Using that website is a sure way to vex you, pure torture. simple search in donedeal is very handy if you know what you're looking for. The one thing that drives me insane is lads who, when selling a Massey for example, stick in John Deere/New Holland/Fiat/ford/Land rover/bosch/pony/labrador/pony club in their ads. Those ads should be whipped down straight away.

    Plus all items should have a price. No more faffing around. It should be made compulsory for all for sale adds, for all products in all media platforms, to have an exact price.

    I agree, it's like going to a shop & the price display says "ask at till"

    We should all ring adds with no price or name, at 6am just to ask the price:)
