nebraskabanshee Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...4520021761&rd=1 Looks like a scam to me. What do you guys think? Quote

rptorman Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 I emaile d the guy to see what kind of payment he accepts. This is what he sent back. I will approve only one person, that person who will pay 2900$ through eBay. Condition: Perfect. The shipping if free and will be shipped with the clear title. Way you pay me, you will be insured for the entire value of the purchase. In case you don't get what you are paying for, you get a full refund. An email to [email protected] must be sent with the following information: -Seller ID -Buyer ID -Item # and Name -Buy it Now price As soon as I receive eBay's confirmation for this transaction, item will be shipped to your address. You figure it out. I don't want it, but does it look legit to you guys? Quote
Ryda85 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 ask him where it is and tell him you will meet him there with cash...they always seem too busy to meet you Quote
SICK BOY Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 I just sent him this email- I live in Chicago too,where are you at?I want to buy this for your,buy it now price,but I would like to pick it up,and pay for it in person.Let me if this sounds good and I'll take it. I'll let you guys know what he emails back. Quote
nebraskabanshee Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Posted January 17, 2005 exactly I did the same post at yfzcentral and all the guys get the same first email. He told me that he is getting married and needs the money fast. sounds like bullshit to me, but if its not whoever gets it gets one hell of a deal. Quote

Cotton eyed Joe Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 This listing (4520021761) has been removed by eBay. Make sure that you've entered the item number correctly.Please consider this listing and transaction as cancelled. If anybody contacts you to complete the sale, please ignore the request. Completing the sale outside of eBay may be unsafe and will not be covered by eBay purchase protection programs. Looks like he got shut down. I wish people like that would get hit by a large truck and die. Quote

rptorman Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 Click on the link now and see what you get. I wonder what's up with that. Does this mean ebay remove it? Maybe it was a scam. I got screwed out of $200 on ebay once and now I'm very careful. Quote
