    Yes it was the final price.... I’ll admit I’ve gotten some sweet deals on eBay. I thought this may have been a blessing. Yes I thought it was a more expensive truck to but it went through the auction process for 7 days so I thought I was good to go

    Wow that's great information and a great story.

    I'm glad you shared that.

    It's good to know eBay has protections like that.

    . I’m thinking the rusty 5th wheel is of no consequence since the truck doesn’t seem to exist. Nice pictures but that definitely is not Ann Arbor in the background.

    That and the fact that wherever the picture of the truck was taken, that picture is not from Michigan with those big rocky type mountains in the background.

    Some tech savvy person on here can trace the picture and tell us where it was taken.
    Former IT drivers on here know how to do that.
    @TravR1 may know how.
