MMMM I can pay cash for that

dly

 

What is with the no bid without my permission thing?

 

I sent him an email asking what kind of scam he was running. I also offered to overnight a certified check at his "Buy it now" price and if he did not sell it for that, I would report him to Ebay.

 

I was gonna buy it now but I'd rather have the coupe.


I looked at this guy's selling history and he's only sold sweaters and jackets! yeah there's definately some sort of bogus activity going on.

 

Oh jeez...

"A fool and his money..."

 

And for only 5k shipping is free! WHAT A BARGAIN!!!!!

 

Funny, the item is no longer listed..

 

Also, the ad said he was in Georgia. I did a quick search and Georgia does not require front plates so why did they drill the holes in the bumper of a car to put the dealer's ad plate on it? In other words, the scumbag probably stole the pictures from a legitimate ad or just somebody's pictures of a car at a dealership to make this one.

There is a similar scam that one of my co-workers almost got caught with for a John Deere tractor. People buy and sell small items to build up their scores, even at a slight loss. Then, they put something popular on and sell it for ridiculous "Buy it now" price. They only have to get one fool to part with his money and they shut down the account and start over. Often, they have several accounts going. All they need is to get one or two hits a month on the scam and life is good - and tax free. In the case of the tractor, the guy said the item was in Chicago, but his cell phone was a CA area code and he claimed to personally be in Belgium.

Be especially careful of the sellers who want their money via Western Union instead of PayPal.

 

I saw one like that for a 67 GT500 Eleanor and trailer for 5000. First he lives in Canada, but then hes on vaction in England WITH the car!
