What about this one Abs, no photos, bad spelling and a terrific attitude

If you are serious about selling you would find the time to post a photo.

What a tosser reality check me thinks

Appears to Be the case but after reading through this add a few times and having a bit of a chuckle there is a little bit of me ( only a very little bit) that keeps saying in my head that this car could be a ripper. But i suppose we'll never know.

Just a new loser to add to the list, lol

$14,500.00

Holden Sandman panelvan with no ID tags as were lost or stolen in restoration process.

Really? Really?

Stranger things have happened. How would anyone here feel if their tags were stolen during the restoration process. YOU know full well she's the real deal... You'll swear black, blue and blind that it IS a Sandman, but someone else out there will be saying "likely story, loser"
Maybe it is true. Maybe someone spent good money on a resto and got ripped off. Now they're over it and want it gone? Lack of photos is not a strong seller, but if I bought a car, I'd be seeing it up close in person, not looking at a photo.

Just my opinion.

If its fully restored then $15,000 is probably pretty reasonable even with missing tags. That's about the price of a good v8 van with all the fruit.
Of course, his ad isn't really helping him to sell it.

[Duc1991]

You' right playwme. When I bought my van there were about 10 photos posted. I contacted the seller and requested photos of several areas. The seller was very co operative and emailed me at least another 50 photos at least. Several phone discussions followed. The seller was very helpful and provided heaps of info. That is the way to sell a car. You would not even consider buying from no photos.

Hear ya Dago but I was keeping the thread inline with abs thread intentions- no description and no photos BUT, let me direct you to what the seller did say which I think makes it dubious "lost or stolen in restoration process'. Well, which one is it? Lost? Stolen? Would you remember which one it was?

Speaking from a little bit of experience I went to look at a van in Caboolture a couple of months ago and the tags were gone, I asked the seller and apparently they were stolen, long ago.

I said well you know, how do I know what the story is with this vehicle without them and HEY PRESTO I got a call the next day to say they had magically appeared!

So yes, I am a tad distrustful lmao

Exactly and what else was the seller hiding? You'd have to wonder!

Any genuine seller worth their salt would be more than happy to provide whatever photos/info needed to ensure a sale at their asking price. In this day an age of electronic media it is only too easy to provide detailed (a decent size and in focus is also a winner!) photographic information for a prospective buyer. Life has come a long way since using the weekly Trading Post (well that was what we had in Sydney in the 80's) to sell or buy a vehicle.

In saying that, buyers today are lazy s@&ts. They expect Rolls Royces for Commodore money and don't want to put in the effort. People are always confused about how I find so many automotive bargains. It's because I'm constantly looking, watching, and asking. I call as soon as I spot the ad and turn up with cash and truck. I'm prepared for the sh$tty ad and go look anyway. Sometimes it's a diamond in the rough or the seller has undersold the hell out of it. If you know what you're looking for and prepared to be flexible then you can come home with all sorts of stuff.

Pretty sure this was the van I had a look at, I asked for some photos and they looked ok. All the plates checked out ....It was a Sandman. I was told it was in excellent condition and when I went out to look at it, the van was far from that condition. Very disappointed !!!
