Humm... Not the same tires, additionnal pictures are also different!

Did you see how those tires are shinning? Geeezzz Must have been a heck of a job cleanning those, but then again they were probably not bad since the tractors only have few hours!

I thought maybe it was the real one because the decriptions were similar.

I think you're right though... I clicked on Bid History and got this : /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Jay,
The second post is the real one. I called the fellow when he ran the 4310 the first time - it did'nt meet reserve. In second post, his second auction attempt, he has taken off the turf tires (replaced w/ R4's) and he evidently sold a Frontier rear blade he had for it. The fellow seemed legit, noted he would give me the serial number to check through Deere before the deal was made to ensure machine was paid for and his original receipt he noted could be verified at his local dealer if I wished. Bids got too high for me though - as I would'nt have any use for the mmm and not sure what I could sell it for.

I have found several (6) X485 and 4XXX John Deere scams lately (in the last 2 weeks). One located in Canada----wire transfer money only, One located in Italy (listing said Georgia) and I was told not to worry about shipping cost seller would pay all the shipping cost!!!!
I have reported these to E-Bay and they have been good about pulling all but one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3826488440&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT) this one has been sold multipal times and really looks like a scam.

That one you posted the link to is a legitimate JD dealer in the Central Ohio area

They do use the same generic pictures each time they list the same model tractor. At least it looks like.
That dealer has had the pics lifted and used on other scams though. I have e-mailed them several times when I see the pics without the correct seller ID.

 

[acs55812]

I have emailed him for his phone and dealership name and he hasn't responded, he is letting these go for about half price compared to what i can find around here.

I reported Item #4312811429 and #6308790655 to Ebay last night. One was a John Deere 4115. The other a 4110 I researched several months ago. It was and probably is the Western Union scam I posted previously.
