Just how many douche bags are there in the world? apparently a bunch that are dumb enough to try this same exact trick!

I coulnd't resist messing with him . . . . check this out

"Dear Seller, you car is awesome and at an awesome price!!! I'm in Guildford also!!! Can I come see the car?

Thanks in advance and God's Blesings,
Shawn"

LoL i sent that to the seller on ebay. You'd think ebay would do something about this by now. I guess they really can't.

actually....more often than not the seller's account has been hi-jacked.... this is why the psuedo seller only did a 1 day listing.... gives him more of a chance to get away with something maybe while the real seller is out of town.

rioja - that car is not actually for sale for $10k. The seller will ask you to wire some $ via Western Union..... notice he says he is in the UK...but the car is a USA model (left hand drive with no little squirty things for the headlights)......

Ahhh, now I get it. thanks.
I wonder though if he'd consider a trade? I've got a little bridge in Brooklyn I'm trying to get rid of cheap. He can wire the funds to my Canadian account.

Definitely a scam. I was thinking about buying that same car from a legit dealer a few weeks ago. The car was listed on Ebay with a buy it now price of 22900. The listing dropped off about a week ago.

If you're going to scam at least take pictures from an older auction.
