Re: Scam? I could be wrong

The same car is advertised on collectorcartraderonline.com out of Illinois for $39,900.00. Looks sketchy to me.

Re: Scam? I could be wrong

The seller has been a member since Jan 18 2006, and already has one feedback " AAAAAAAAA+++++++" Wow !
I wish I could sell something on ebay within 6 days of signing up and already have time for one feedback with such a positive recommendation ! Why would anyone doubt this. It says they take bids from preapproved bidders only ?
Are they checking for IQ or credit rating ? Probably both. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonono.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

How were you able to track that car to Illinois so quickly? Is there a better search engine for tracking something like this?

Re: Scam? I could be wrong

Seller won't email back, won't answer questions and won't approve for bidding.

Something isn't right here.

Re: Scam? I could be wrong

Scott, Your right ! the tri carb is not a scam, Probably not really for sale either,probably just fishing to see what folks would offer and set the reserve so high that probably no one will offer it... and if they do its so far out there they can have it. just my opinion. Oh.. and it is a very nice car! Bob

Re: Scam? I could be wrong

Thought this might be fun to read. This is a reply I got from the "seller" in Erie or so they say. The real seller is in Illinois and also contacted me after I informed them someone was using their pictures etc.

The jerk doesn't even know it was taken off by eBay.

"Hello,

I'm really sorry for this late reply but I've been very busy lately and away from a computer. The car is located in Erie PA, in excellent running and body condition, no flaws on it or any other mechanical problems. It has a clear title and it will be signed and notarized on your name as soon as the
payment will be completed.Regarding payment I am aware of the buyer's protection and we will use eBay's motors vehicle purchase protection program which will hold the payment until you receive the car. If you are interested you will be asked to make a deposit of $2,950, the buy it now price is
$11,000. However,the deposit is 100% refundable if the car is not as described.
If you are interested please provide me the following information's necessary to take a decision :
-your full name and address for shipping
-your phone #
-any negative feedback and if so .... for what reason.
If I receive the requested information you will be informed by eBay during
the next hours with details about your purchase.
The car will be inspected and evaluated by eBay's team so there is no need
to ask me about it's condition as long it will be a guaranteed purchase by
eBay.
Thank you,

Christine Monson"

Re: Scam? I could be wrong

They certainly do and I and I know others do what we can to tell ebay about such fraud. Next time I see this I am gong to bid $1,000,000.00 just to mess up the bidding.

What is so stupid with these scammers is they "sell" a $40,000 car for $8,000 which throws flags up immediately.

You should start playing with these idiots.
I've had hours of amusement reading this site. A lot of it is transferrable: https://www.419eater.com/html/baiting.htm
