This really sounds like a scam. Funny how often people forget the old adage "if it sounds true good to be true...." and get ripped off. Just currious, what would be a fair price this? I'm guessing thousands?

damn $1700 is a great deal. I was offered $1900

Hi,

Right now i am located at one of my bussiness address in London,England and the item is here with me. I'll do the shipping
from here. The price that i want for it is 1900 us dollars with shipping included.

Here is how I will go about delivery and payment for the item which will be through TNT and will also give you the chance to
inspect the item before I receive the payment for it.
I will explain to you step by step how this will work.
A. First you have to send me your shipping information (your name and address).
1. After I receive your shipping info, I'll go to a TNT Location and leave the item onto your name and with your address
as the intended receiver.
2. TNT will check the item, also the legal papers to see that everything is ok with it.
B. You will receive a notification from TNT as a confirmation that the item is in their custody and also, that the it! em has
been checked.
1. After that, you will have to make a money transfer via Western
Union on my name, as a guarantee, and send the payment information to TNT.
2. TNT will verify the Money Transfer, and if everything is in order, they will deliver the item to your door step.
3. After you will receive the item and you will be completely satisfied with it, you will instruct TNT to release the
payment information to me, so I can collect my money.
C. The item will be shiped with a return policy for 10 days, days in what you can inspect it. If by any reason, you will not
be satisfied with the item, if the item will not be as you expected to be, or you will not be happy with the purchase, you
can return the item to TNT with no expenses. I am sure that this won`t happend since the condition of the item is very good,
but this is a guarantee from my part for you.
TNT is a Postal Service ,! same as UPS or Fedex.It is very popular in UK. TNT will check the item before sending you the
POD-Proof Of Delivery.

The transaction will be covered by ebay, we will transact through ebay and if you agree to purchase it ebay will contact you
to confirm you the safety of the transaction, will contact you with the approval of the transaction in what will confirm you
that you can make this transaction with me using TNT Service.

Let me know if you can purchase it for my price

No, I didn't bid. As much as I would have liked it for a Lotus Seven replica autocrosser, my wife would kill me!

Oh, and I believed the 8 miles. Did you notice it still had spring spacers?
there's still 10hrs left, so someone still has time to get scammed.

He told you it's in Londen but eBay page says it's in the US (Item location: United States). Well, hurry up and bid that $50,000, you only have a little more than 9hrs.

better yet 2 people should bid it up to like a million bucks so that scammer gets a nice final value fee at the end of the auction

Ooh, even better idea. Bet he won't try that one twice. Now we just have to find someone that's willing to take a hit on their bidding record.
