Default Anyone in long island?

My brother just bought a 71 mach 1 on eBay. Would like to find someone to go check it out so he doesn't have to fly up there to inspect it.

Any takers? Am sure would pay for your time.

I am, but I'm sorry, I can't do it, I'm swamped at work.

What town on LI is the car located in? It's a big island.

I don't understand. If he's already bought it, isn't it a little late to be inspecting it? Or is the sale contingent on an inspection?

Yeah, we feel pretty good about it. Being up there of course rust is a concern.

Car looks really nice though. Almost Bullit.

Thanks! We might be on hold. Dude is trying to back out. Says he's selling it for a friend and the guy wanted more for it. Had it listed before with a reserve and it didn't meet it si related with no reserve blah blah blah. Not sure what the options are at this point. I told my brother to go ahead and pay the 1k deposit through PayPal so they can't say he didn't did his part.

Any ideas?

There is no recourse against a buyer on EBay. He can't hurt a feedback rating.

Seller is not complying with eBay sellers standards- not honoring a winning bid.

So I would not put down any deposit until Seller agrees to follow through on a valid winning bid.

Just reading this thread alone, don't feel good about it, probably better off forgetting about it.
