1972 442 W30 for sale
For sale is my 1972 442 W30. The car has the "X" in the VIN as well as the GM of Canada Documentation stating such. The car is originally Radiant green with white interior. The car runs and drives but the current engine needs to be rebuilt. The car unfortunately no longer has the original motor or transmission. The car is a a 3:73 gear rear end and 4 core rad. The car has rust in the usual spots, bottom of fenders, wheel wells on the quarters. The trunk appears to be fairly decent. The floor has some rust in some areas but it should not need a entire floor pan. I would be happy to explain the car more fully for those interested. I have many parts available for the individual who buys the car, including a Flapper set up and aluminum intake among other parts. This car is an excellent candidate for restoration. I continue to not be able to upload photos to this site, but have many of the vehicle i would happily send. The car is on Craigslist in the Vancouver B.C. I am looking for $7900. Thanks

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks Dave and Sam. The car is still for sale. The Guy who back out from winning it on ebay is clueless, and left me hanging for a couple weeks, wondering if he would come thru. I recommend people not to deal with him as his word is mud. his name is Bruce from Montreal and Sam and others can attest to what a dead beat he is. Thanks.

A man's word is his bond
Are you the Bruce who was the high bidder on this car & then did not pay?
If so please explain why you word is worthless. If you were the high bidder YOU own the car & need to pay up. Be a man.

Dave first of , i agreed to send Devon a checque for his trouble. I or other forum members do not appreciate when accusations are made towards other members. My intentions were to send him a payment but i have been busy , should i still send him a payment after posting words like mud or deadbeat.

don't send him a cheque for his 'troubles'. Send him the damn payment for the car you bought & pick up the car.

My Dad instilled in me and all my brothers that your word is pretty much all you have to vouch for yourself. Once you go back on your word you have lost any credibility or respect you had. There will be times where circumstances dictate that you may have to go back on something. With that being said it had better be good and you had better explain yourself clearly and with conviction. Things happen but you have to take responsibility and make things right.

My .02 cents
Recently a bidder w 100% gd feedback who I had been in contact w and extended time to pay on an item, stopped contact and didn't pay. I opened an ebay claim and after the specified time I was refunded any fees. I couldn't leave the bidder any feedback because he never responded to ebay's inquiry. That's how ebay allows bad bidders to walk w no consequences.
Regarding ones word, I recently purchased a vehicle from someone who I didn't know and the seller had a prior sale on the same vehicle fall thru due to the buyer reneging. The seller didn't want my deposit we shook hands and agreed I would come back in a week w cash. Between us it ended up being two weeks but the seller never questioned my intent, and I never questioned the seller despite the vehicle still being listed for those two weeks. After the transaction we were both happy to complete the deal as we agreed on a handshake and w out drama. Btw the seller was a 20 something YO who apparently had been raised right and it showed as he followed thru w a couple things the vehicle needed to complete our agreement w no trying to weasel out of it.
I agree things happen we agreed on 1 week but due to circumstances on both ends we extended it to two weeks no issues. When I bid on something I bid because I want that item and make every effort to complete the transaction quickly and painlessly unlike many ebayers. unfortunately ebay will cater to the latter w feedback rules etc because they know the people w integrity don't need special rules to protect their reputations.
So let's hear it how does one bid on a vehicle and not pay when the auctions done? If it Was misrepresented that could pose a problem, but it appears the seller has disclosed the negatives w the car in question.

Well Bruce you have been exposed!!Your reaction proves that you are not a guy who lives up to a deal when he is buy something. I think i will add your user name here to the don't deal with because you can't be trusted.
#19
it can be called buyers remorse...sometimes we act and then have a regret and reason for not going thru with a sale no reason to take the guy out and stone him...if he offered to pay a bit for time and troubles to the seller thats pretty decent
#20
In this case the person agreed to buy something then didn't, I don't know the timeframe but let's assume the std 7 day auction, and then when the transaction was to be completed they backed out of the terms they agreed to when bidding. Those actions prevented persons actually interested in the vehicle from getting it and created additional headaches and work and lost time for the seller. The gesture of offering to compensate the seller is admirable and more than most ebay losers offer but the fact still remains the potential buyers actions affected more than just the seller.
The potential buyer could have contacted the seller to cancel his bid before the end of the auction, he could have asked his mom/girlfriend/wife for permission before bidding, he could have not bid at all. In the end he broke his word and his contract, and while there may be legitimate reasons for those actions, the excuse we've seen here so far has been I've been busy and the seller has rightly called me a deadbeat, neither one holds much water IMHO.
As someone who has been screwed just like this more than once on ebay, I personally feel for the seller and have little sympathy for the winning bidder who did not pay!!!!
I have had much better luck w cl than w ebay. On cl I set the terms on ebay the buyer sets the terms and as we see above that's not a good way to do business.
fwiw I do not know the seller or high bidder and I am not interested in this car.

Since it appears you actually were the one who won the deal on that 442 ebay auction and didn't follow through? IMO you deserve what you're seeing here. I've dealt with eBay buyers and sellers before and the ones who 'are just to busy' to look after their commitments on closed auctions have no respect for the process. Making someone wait several weeks with no action? Shame on you. Make the time. You did when you bid on the car.
#26
what a righteous bunch here... no one knows what the circumstances were or are that the buyer didnt complete the sale or for that matter took a week or so to let the seller know...God forbid maybe his family was murdered, who knows?) and besides its nobody's business life goes on and the seller has his car... no need to call him loser, pond scum or deadbeat etc
#27
Pogo read the thread the seller stated the buyer backed out after winning and left him hanging. The buyer stated he was busy and felt wronged about being called a deadbeat.
I agree there can be circumstances that can delay a legitimate bidders paying on time, that doesn't seem to be the case here, also a quick note to the seller and any reasonable person would extend time as needed. In my experience every time I have extended time to pay, the bidder turns out to be a deadbeat bidder
It's anyone's business that uses ebay because no one wants to deal w a deadbeat bidder.

pogo69 - X2 on what RetroRanger said ^^^.
The sad part about all this discussion is it's taking the thread away from the direction it needs to go - selling the OPs 442, since it appears that the original sale on eBay isn't going to be honored.
#30
If ones available funds are that close to being in the RED buy circumstances, then IMO one shouldnt be bidding. I also dont know his circumstances and dont know if funds were the problem. Being too busy to make a payment, but not to busy to bid it to a win? Sometimes I think some people bid feeling someone else will out bid them, maybe an attempt to drive up the price for someone they dont even know. I have bid and won a number of fairly expensive things on Ebay, including 2 67 442's, contacted the seller immediatly, and paid IMMEDIATLY. I would never bid if I didnt have the EXTRA funds to do so. If i thought for a minute that bidding and winning might put me in the Red or even near the Red I wouldnt bid. Not fair to the seller or other bidders. I do believe Ebay makes it possible to retract a bid.
Bad deal.
good luck with the sale.... again

Can't imagine what kind of reception the reneger was expecting to receive.
If some tragedy caused him to be unable to follow through, I'm sure the seller would be upset, but it would be understandable. If the non-buyer simply committed funds he didn't have or had second thoughts, I'm not sure what could be said other than a profuse apology and admission that his error had caused the seller inconvenience and expense.
Simply saying he was too busy, and intended to send a check for the seller's troubles? Seriously - how much time does it take to write a check and pop it in the mail? Heck, I'm sure if the seller had backed out with an immediate and unqualified apology, accompanied by a check for a couple hundred bucks, the seller wouldn't have been nearly as miffed as he rightfully is.
Personally, I couldn't imagine making a bid on ebay - or face-to-face - if I weren't 100% certain I had the cash to back up my words and intended to follow through on my promise. But I guess different folk think and act differently. Can make it tough to conduct business on the internet.
