eBay listing 1958 Fan Drop trailer

[bohemian]

Just a heads up for anyone looking at the eBay offering of a 1958 Fan drop teardrop trailer, it is not a 1958, it was built by one of our own Rick Sheerin back in 2006/7 it is a supper nice trailer and well built, but not a 1958 as the seller is saying it is. Pass the word.

Thats the one.

Well.... that's fraud. But you knew that.

I think I'll ask them a question about it.

Curiously, it's probably worth the asking price for a well built 2006 camper. A 1958 would be expected to need lots of work (as I understand it from this forum--not from any personal experience).

If I were in the market for a 2nd hand home built camper, I'd look for a ~2006. If I were in the market for a restoration project, I'd consider a 1958...He's marketing to the wrong crowd.

(Not that I'm saying anything we all don't already know.)

I already informed the seller that It wasn't a 58, he was none to happy to discuss it, his words, Why are you bothering me with this retard go kick rock hoe, wasn't that nice.

of course it could be reported to ebay. I guess ask to verify the vin

I wonder how it compares to this one?

One of the comments on there is that it isn't a real 1958 FAN. Can't imagine it would be hard to tell if looking at it in person. Only way I'd buy a camper!

could the eBay seller and the Barns Finds be the same or did one get the photos from the other? the photos look the same.

There have been quite a few incidents where people have stolen pictures of trailers and put them up for sale when they didn't really even have a trailer. So, it could be a big scam.

I asked him if it really was a '58 Fan. Here's his answer:

"From what I was told it was a 58 Fan restored and customized"

I just sent him a link to a real 1958 Fan.

And here's his repsonse:

I have seen quite a few fans . Like the ad says it’s a restored customized fan . Mostly all the parts were from a fan and customized. Thanks for you concern though

Okay...

The eBay seller says it is registered as a 1958, someone lied about that when it was re-registerd. It was built in NY, so I'm sure it had a Home built registration. Biggoofyguy that is the same trailer, same guy trying to sell on a different site. At least one of the posts on that site said it wasn't a 58. And I'm pretty sure Fan didn't build any teardrop trailers, their smallest I think is the 13' Traveler. I reversed looked up the phone number, and it shows up on a lot of vehicles listed for sale. Call day or night

I see he has removed the ebay listing...

"This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."
