Hey everyone. First time poster. . .

about to be the winning bidder for a 86 pickup and boy am I glad I decided do a little searching. I’m sorry for everyone who has been dicked over. It happens to the best of us and thank you for speaking out. So is this too good to be true??

1986 Toyota Pickup 4WD | eBay

I would look that truck over in great detail when you get it.

I can tell you what he did to my truck and then resold on eBay for a large profit.

1. Painted the Frame to hide rust
2. Bondo the rust on the inner rear doors and painted
3. Rolled the Odometer back 100k

He didn't mention the rusted out rear section of the frame that I had patched. It was gone in front of the rear springs and I had new steel welded over to reinforce the frame.

The biggest con move was rolling the odometer back 100k. I sold it to him with almost 272k on the clock and when it was sold a month later it magically had 173k on it. So I wouldn't even trust the mileage on that truck. Pull a carfax and see what it says.

You can report his listing to ebay as fraudulent. I doubt anything changes

Yeah I texted the phone number posted here asking questions about the truck. Sure enough it was him. Awful grammar, that’s what really made me search more about him to begin with, just comes off as an idiot. Sure enough he was telling me I wanted to buy it local it would just have to be more than the auction ended for. Dudes a total scam. Thank you everyone.

They are a big fan of black paint to hide defects. My buddy is friends with the guy who does their "detail" work. He tried to get me to take one of mine in for the treatment....hard freaking pass on that. My buddy is super honest, but he does meet and know some real dirtballs... it's the car biz after all.....and that is where I got my wife from....lol.

Just nutting but gypsies flippers, but they do find some nice stuff, shame they are just not more honest about condition but never known an honest gypsy in the car biz(license or unlicensed)

 

[Cisumvw557]

Yeah I called him out on it all and he threatened to report me to eBay. I said I don’t care I still have my 6k and he then proceeded to try and mock me as if all I had was 6k, cause yeah If that’s all I had I’d sure be spending my time buying 30+ year old trucks. He then deleted my bid and it’s back to whoever bid before me. Really was way to good of a deal anyway. Really? 6k for a ‘86 with all that new good stuff on it. Someone’s going to buy it that’s for sure. It was the screen name for the pictures he posted that gave it away. This is why I’m hesitant to use eBay. Oh well. God speed to the person who buys it. I hope it is what it looks like.

I'm the sucker that bought frog's FJ62 off eBay. The seller, Derrick Marks (and other aliases) is a complete con man. I wouldn't touch anything he sells without a thorough and professional inspection. Don't fall into his trap like I did. Do your homework.
BTW, the truck has found a new home in Midland. I redid the interior and painted the front half of the truck. The new owner knew of the suspension, frame and bondo issues BEFORE selling him the truck. There are some decent people in the world but Marks is NOT one of them

 

[Johnp427]

Just talked on the phone to him last night about a truck he has on ebay, was all set to buy it outright and then I seen all these comments. Its really too bad because it is a nice truck and I know these well and can analyze pics pretty good and know what areas to look for, it's a nice piece. But will I actually get it is another story. Damn shame there is people like him out there, and it seems there's a lot of them in that Pacific northwest area.

I still miss that truck. Though hopefully it gets enjoyed, more then I would be able to now. Its replacement (Suburban for towing) has been sitting for almost 3 months.

Hopefully karma gets him and the rest of his crew. I agree his one of the most dishonest people, and I still regret selling it to him to this very day.

Thats both awesome and tragic. 16 year olds are good at wrecking cars unfortunately.

Here’s another one by this guy! This was my buddies land cruiser who sold it to this guy for 6700$ less than a few weeks ago. It’s falsely advertised, it has a ton of rust that has been covered up by this flipper, it is NOT one family owned, and is a big project rig. Be very weary of this! It’s on eBay too. Look at the buyer beware ad below for attach pics of the rust it had before it got the quick respray.
