That's a scam. Email the guy and find out... he'll say he wants western union money up front. I guarantee it. That's how they **** you over.

I just reported the auction as a suspected fraudulent listing along with the following message.

[QUOTE]I am e-mailing about an auction advertising a Turbocharging kit for a Honda S2000.

Good for you -- eBay's not exactly known for giving a ^%$^ about its users, but maybe it'll take action nonetheless.

If something's too good to be true... well, it's just that.

Don't be stupid.

holy sh*t I just clicked on this scammers other auctions, he is simultaneously selling 4 of these kits for other cars. He has 2 for s2000's, one for bmw and one for Subaru. And the funny thing is that most of the pictures are same. Even if he sells one kit, he will scam someone out of 2 grand , I cant imagine if he sells all 4. You would think that with all of these scams on eBay, they would lose some credibility, but Its like no one seems to notice or care?
