Now I bought 2 Topkicks this morning. I told the seller on Ebay he could keep my $1000 deposit and I'll pay his Ebay fees if he would relist the truck. I haven't heard back from him yet. Does this sound fair or should I take delivery of the Ebay truck and try to resell it?
They might choose to give you a bad ding to your ebay nic but I will take that over handing over $1000+.
Pretty sure Ebay will not charge them to relist from a buyer walking away. They can also choose to go with the next highest bidder I believe.

I looked at Top Kicks a while back and considered buying one over a Sport Chassis because they were so much cheaper. Found out why they were cheap, they have a heavier payload capacity than the GMC 3500 but not a higher tow capacity for conventional towing. If you're towing with a fifth wheel with that much weight you'll probably be ok, otherwise you might bend your frame where your hitch is connected. Also you don't need a CDL for the Sport Chassis unless it has air brakes, that goes for most states. Good luck with your purchase.

I just accidentally bought a Topkick on Ebay. Not really what I wanted, but it's clean and cheap compared to everything else I was looking at. I guess you shouldn't throw a lowball bid on Ebay, or you might win. It only has 57,000 miles so I'm sure it will be fine for a while. Thanks for everyone's suggestions and PM's.

The eBay seller understood and accepted my deposit as a good faith gesture. I'm in Louisiana now picking up the white truck. I'm sure I could've gotten out of the eBay deal cheaper, but it wasn't his fault the deal went south and I still have karma on my side. I'll post pics later.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]523516[/ATTACH]I got a new tow rig, so of course we had to hit the mall to keep the peace. Truck needs a little TLC, but can't complain for the money. It's a Regency conversion so it's done right at least.

Its only Ebay. I would explain the situation to the seller you are not going to choose and move on. No money needed.
They might choose to give you a bad ding to your ebay nic but I will take that over handing over $1000+.
Pretty sure Ebay will not charge them to relist from a buyer walking away. They can also choose to go with the next highest bidder I believe.

Seller was simply trying to sell his truck. Warparty36 has initiated a good will jester and shown that he is a better man than just getting a 'bad ding' and wasting a man's time by walking away. Rig looks great Bubba and hope to see the new boat sometime this summer.
