Title: Possible scam tactic
Post by: jwwseville60 on September 14, 2023, 10:09:09 AM
Here is a current 1966 Eldo for sale. Nice car.
But this is the second instance of Hollywood Motors and Classic car Deals
tag teaming for suckers using different asking prices.
Why would they do this? It's so obvious.

All one can do is ask them. I think a person would likely get hung up on or told to buzz off.

I have had cars I advertised and discover my ad on other  websites beyond my control.

Its not a scam.  Someone is trying to get their car sold by 2 dealers at the same time.  Whoever sells it first gets the commission.  From what I've seen "Classic Car Deals" are never deals and are usually a much higher price than the original seller or other dealers.  CCD almost never has the cars with them whereas Hollywood motors has the car in stock.  I'd personally talk to the middleman who has the car rather than the one who has never seen it.

Well there you go, a new participant on the forums first post is supposed to be gospel. Ah yeah, nothing fishy about this one.
