7,000 units is in no way a limited edition of anything.
There were many more people that wanted a limited edition than limited editions...Plus most people that wanted one couldnt even get one because the websites were slow that night. I like this selling 3 dollar water after a hurricane...To me its very similar to that...but this is a toy, so its not that bad. Is he a reseller? I'm guessing no.

Again I'm all for capitalism, and if it works out for him great, but he still took someones limited edition, made it used, and will now resell for a higher price. To me its just wrong. It won't be illegal unless he sells for a profit and doesnt declare it, but I think he will do that too if he got this far.

One is a crime and the other is not. The person who robs is not “making” money, they are stealing.
Actually scalping is a crime, just not in every state. But nice try!

Of course this ad screams scam, but...

Look up:
International business agents
Lobbyist
Middlemen

Many people make a living by "adds no value to the equation".
I understand those terms well, but thanks for the tip...and they do add value. They facilitate commerce or communication as an integral part of the process. This is not that.

Many do, but many, well, lets just says it is the legally acceptable way to give and receive bribes. Would you like to donate to my foundation?

So now offering to sell a used car is a crime? Getting the money up front to pay off the loan, to get the title first is unheard of? That is all the listing is doing, selling a used car

If a car enthusiast buys a vehicle out of Auto trader for $20k and turns around and sells it on eBay for $50k is that scalping. Or when a car dealer adds $30k ADM to a highly desirable vehicle is that scalping. I don't think so and highly doubt it's illegal.

Selling a used car isnt a crime. Its all about intent. Is his intent to buy the car and use it and then sell it later for a profit? Is it speculative car buying? or scalping? hmmm

These are all good questions though.

I haven't read through all 7 pages, nor do I care to. But I'm seeing people discussing whether or not this ebay sale is illegal or legal....

That's not the point here.

The point is rather simple. The guy selling on Ebay is an A$$HOLE! Just like every other jerk on Ebay trying to sell a PS5 or Xbox Series X for TWICE the price in stores. Total jerks. You want to make money, get a JOB. MAKE something I WANT and sell it to me. Don't take someone else's product and sell it for double the price. To me, those types of people are LOSERS plain and simple.

Then again, what does my opinion matter to someone looking to make a quick buck? It doesn't. Do I care? No. If I saw you on the streets would I tell you what kind of douchebag you are? Probably. I guess that's where Free Speech comes into play... As long as I don't HURT your little feelings by NOT being politically correct! Whatever 😞

I’ve got a FE reservation I was thinking about ditching. Maybe I should do this instead! I’ll just undercut him by a few grand 😜
If you want to get screwed royally, THAT is your prime opportunity.
Look at that asshead's ebay feedback.... its all from buying stuff, never a seller. Now he's selling a $95k vehicle...unhuh, sure. Add to that that he can put as many as 500 miles on your truck, assuming you can find him to begin with. I'm betting he's a Nigerian prince. 😀
I am happy to see there are zero suckers, err, I mean bids.

You can call me any name you like and I could care less what you think of me. But if I decide to sell one of my FE's for a profit I will. I'm buying them with my cash and have the right to do what ever the heck I want with them. By the way I'm not planning on selling my FE''s, but my point is why should anyone care what someone else decides to do with their First Edition. Just my humble opinion.

If you have that much cash, you should have invested 1 FE’s worth into the stock market last spring.

I don't play the stock market. I own three companies and only invest in myself, haven't lost yet.

I'm not going to, but I wondered how much my FE 2 door would fetch on bring a trailer after I pick it up...
My guess is the First Editions will bring between $10K to $20k over MSRP. But we're all about to find out in the next few months.

On bring a trailer I've seen some crazy buys. Seems to be a place where a lot of money goes to play lol. I bet the first FE on there would go north of 100K.
Just looked up the BaT site, Pretty cool. They have a few 1st Gen broncos on there. Thanks for the intel.
