Price Check 2006 BX24

[dphent]

Looking to find a smaller tractor with FEL & back hoe for small contruction projects. The big stuff will be done by my sitework guys. I have found a 2006 BX24 with FEL, 60" mid mower deck and backhoe that has 97 hours. Privately owned and garaged with the 100 hour service just completed so they say. Asking price including shipping $4800 (price was confirmed). Looking at the pics it is pristine condition. Unfortunately is too far for visible inspection. Owner wants to do EBAY transaction with 3 day inspection.

From past experience if it sounds too good than it isn't. Never dealt with EBAY and am curious as to what protection the buyer has in these situations.

Thanks

To me it sounds like a scam......price is just too low for what you are getting....

Agreed..that's at least 12-13k

Don't buy it unless you can go inspect it. Definately sounds like a scam, especially that they'll ship it to you. You will never see it after your money is sent.

its another scam. they pop up all over craigslist, etc. its amazing that they are still managing to get away with it. Dont do anything until you can see it in person. if they want to ship it to you first, don't do it.

I find it really hard to beleive that its has less then hundred hours for less then 5k. Absolutely no way!!

Yep SCAM ..tell the seller you have a relative in the same town and they will come look at it. They won't even respond back.

I agree that it is probably a scam, but could you ask on this board if there is someone near by to take a look at it for you? If the seller doesn't want to agree to that, then you probably have a scam.

Could it be that some of these "scams" could just be people trying to get rid of their "lemons"?

Not when it involves shipping.

All the standard scam indicators. Pay through Ebay. Shipping, etc.

Bet you a dollar to donut that they won't let you, (or an imaginary friend who lives in that town) see it in person. Price is simply too low.
