Feels bad that middleman pumps value for a quick buck and this didn’t go to a muddr, but I totally get it. Won’t go for that high in Colorado, but it probably will sell much faster!

ugh the car is not mint I can tell you that, unless mint is a different definition in Colorado. I know this plate; I am sure the current seller is on that post.

“Saved it from the NE” lol. Flipper is a tool, For sure. Hopefully it sits for a while just to punish him. At $26K this was a fair deal, at $32K it’s going to be tough. COVID overlanders already bought, and someone looking to ball out in Colorado is going newer, especially as winter starts to wrap up. Odds seller shows up in here and starts commenting?
 
Essentially he is right. Nothing illegal especially if he registered the car and paid appropriate fees.

Odds are high.
Essentially he is right, his money his time. Calling names is different story.
I think he got it at $20k mark.

You're right, he isn't doing anything "wrong" by re-listing or trying to make a few bucks, but it definitely rubs me the wrong way when:
  • Seller here is an active service member who was offering a quick sale to the cruiser community before going overseas
  • New owner is egregiously trying to get $8,000+ profit for a cross country drive and creating a new listing with half new/half old photos
  • Cruiser community in my experience wisely looks out for each other, this guy took advantage of this sale then tried to flip it to the same group of people advertising it as a screaming cash deal.
Those are why I called it out (simply shared this thread on FB in the comments of the listing). If someone else thinks this is a good purchase at $30k+ and doesn't mind the new seller's motives and flip job, great for them, but gauging his response be wary of the character of who you're purchasing a used car from.
