Scam Seller on eBay...Watch Out!

Here’s the listing as it appears:










Let’s look at the problems with this listing. First of all, the price. $1,500? It should be in the $300-$500 range.

He was contacted by the film industry to use it on the big screen? Doubtful. Hollywood wouldn’t pick the cheapest, most basic tanks out there.

He states that it’s customized to be an M3, but it’s not. The original Haunted Tank was an M3. This tank is still in M5A1 configuration, They wouldn’t use the wrong tank in the film industry.

Supposedly it was customized, but nothing about it is changed from original configuration. Nothing about it makes it worth 3 to 4 times the cost it should be. He says it was supposed to be in the film industry. So, what? That doesn’t increase the value. Maybe if it was in some type of movie, it would command a premium as a movie prop, but this one wasn’t.

I don’t have the space to show the pictures of the crew, but they’re horrendous. They’re kinda close to being accurate, but basically they are 4 GI Joes with an assortment of cheap, mismatched gear.

Sellers like this make it hard for honest sellers to do business. I feel sorry for the people who don’t know better, who believe the hype, and greatly over pay. 

Buy with care!
