Misrepresented
Posted by Jim/Chris on April 2, 2020 at 10:59 pm2003 Marathon Coach is listed on ebay identified as a 2002 Coach 784 is an ‘02 shell, but should be titled as 2003 So who knows what kind of title it has since its found its way to CA by way of NC but originally out of FLA if you google it, the Marathon Florida ad is still there
just beware. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2002-Prevost-Marathon-XL40/233547589343?hash=item36608566df:g:yuAAAOSwjKNehoNC

The seller evidently has no clue as to the coach. They advertise it as 2 slides, not, it’s a non slide and the they show the category as a toy hauler.
Someone not long ago was considering that coach.

Nice coach, could be the seller could not figure out e-bay like the price way off

I saw this coach listing and was curious. I contacted the seller, not sure if it is the same person now listing the coach on Ebay.
Below are three email exchanges:

Hey,
My name is Mandy Webb and I’m the owner of the 2003 Prevost Marathon XL40, and I will sell for $47,000. This coach is in excellent condition. This coach has obviously been well cared for and garage kept. The title is clean and clear (under my name) without any liens or encumbrances. It has no leaks or drops. Owner’s manual and full-service records included. I am selling it at this final price of $47,000 because my husband died 2 months ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings me bad memories, along with my daughter we decided to sell the house and we moved trying to start a new life. If you are interested in buying it or if you have any questions, please reply to this email.
Thank you and God Bless!

Hello again,
As I told you in my first email, after my husband died, I moved to another city (Butte, Montana) and took a new job. Coach is here and is already at Butte’s shipping company, sealed and ready for shipment. My presence will not be necessary because I have arranged the agreement with eBay. The shipping cost is included in the total price of the coach, because I have a FREE promotional shipping with eBay and I intend to use it. You will have 5 days to try before making any purchase, and if, for whatever reason, you find something you do not like, you can send it back at my expense. If you are interested in learning more about how the whole process works, I can ask eBay to send you an email with more information on how to buy it. eBay will contact you shortly after they have the details with all the information you need to complete this business and you will also have proof that they are covered by them and a legitimate seller. If you are serious about buying the coach, please reply with your full name, delivery address and phone number so I can send them to eBay to open a case about our business. After that, they will send you an invoice with more details about payment, transport and insurance and will explain better the whole procedure.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks, Mandy Webb

Eric, Let the seller know you will fly to the coach location for an inspection and at that time will provide cash or a bank check.
I am pretty sure the scammer will never let that happen.
I would get the police or FBI involved.

HaHa total scam. Seen this many times before with vehicles.
-
Happens daily on autos for sale websites. That`s the way to bust it by offering yourself or someone at their location to inspect.
