When I sold my Merc 190, (a not sooo common car), some ********* kept listing his car whenever i would list mine, and prior to ebay making the auctions private, he kept emailing my bidders, saying that his car was nicer than mine, and that he would work with them on payment, etc. royally pissed me off.

the first time the car "sold" the buyer was a liberal/academic type that expected a new car with a warranty....he actually asked me for a warranty. the car was pristine....86,000 miles, i was 2nd owner, etc....but the guy still expected a new car.

the 2nd time the car "sold" the buyer emailed me two days later and said that he decided that his heart surgery was more important than paying me, so he backed out of the deal.

after the 3rd time listing it, a genuine bidder came through. He paid the same day, and had a shipper come pick up the car 2 days later. completely painless.
