I wonder if the seller paid 1000 or went for something less.   And did you see it had free pick up?   I don't see a shipping charge.

hmmmmm

When you post as "Free Local Pickup", you are inviting people to contact you to make a deal. No ebay fees either if you do not say it is sold. Usually the auction is just ended.

It says sold for 1k, so the seller is paying the ebay fee on that.

Hopefully the seller was not that ignorant , and included fees with whatever deal they made.

I did notice that the location of this bucket is only 7.5 miles from the location of the one I had purchased (and never received), but the paint wear looks a little bit different.

Really ?  How much different is the paint wear ?

Well, yeah, but you still have to pay ebay. If you make a private deal and don't tell ebay, then you don't

Not if you cancel deal afterwards.  There is always a way to beat ebay at their own game. Ha.

But then you don't get your money.

Of course you do...that's the private deal.

Close enough to arouse suspicion. The nose and brow have more paint wear, but for all I know, that could have happened in shipping. It has been shipped half-way across the country twice since the first pictures. Once, to my post office and then again when it was stolen from my post office and sent back to New Jersey. I wish I had better quality pictures to compare.

Not hard to remove a little paint. Do you have any of the pics to post of your "purchased" bucket ?

The picture is on page 3 of the "Glenn Strange Halloween Bucket" thread (the one that is locked).
