    they don't pull the ad because they have no way of proving he doesn't have the car

    Let's see. 80 year old first time seller who was told by knowit all neighbor that that old car in his barn is worth a couple hundred thousand dollars. And he said "IT IS, I could sure use that to pay my doctor bills". And here we are.:)

    There's a lot of that going on over there....High end cars being sold by people with no feedback....A buddy of mine complained about one guy in particular last week and they pulled the ad....Definitely a scam....Probably those fuckin' Nigerians again
     
  9. Well, ebay made you take apicture of yourself with your pre order reciept in hand to auction off PS-3's.
    He could have at least put in a pic of the actual car.
    You want $200K?.....buy a $100 digicam.

    Eeeek - Bay stands to make a lot of money if this is real. Even if it BOGUS, some asshole will make a bid.
    I have been known to be an asshole, but I ain't bidding on anything on Eeeek - Bay.

    All Ebay sees is the listing fee and lets it go.

    The orinigal/oringal hub caps make it worth at least $200k ;-)
     
  15. Yeah it very well :rolleyes: could :D be a scam-Ha!
    I suppose tho ,it could be worth that..... if a Hemi Cuda that had been burnt and "re bodied" from a small "GARAGE FIRE" CAN BE WORTH 450 k:D

    Think maybe it's supposed to be $2,000? Or if he's optomistic $20,000?

    You can report it and then ebay will check it out. I reported 5 scams on cars last week and everyone was a scam because of the redicolus low price. Like the other guys said this one might be real and just way out of line!

    oh ya if it is a scam some times ebay will let you know especially if you use the ask seller a question then report it. They will find it as a scam and email you to tell you if you questioned the seller watch for bull shit mail..

    The photo looks like a cropped image of an old magazine or showroom add. Bet it's a scam.

    For $200 K , I could butcher up something that could be disguised as a "valuable / collector" car using a generic photo.
    Stupidity should be painfull

    I'm sure the photo is original photo of it when it was new.Why would ya put a black and white pic. up on a car for 200k. Guy has 0 feedback but I'm sure some asshole somewhere will bid and maybe lose his ass and have to try and ebay to go after him.

    I know there are lot of things on eBay and the task of vetting them all must be just about impossible, but this is clearly a scam. Check out his pic:D It couldn't be that hard to set up something extra for low feedback sellers with big starting bids, or mebbe just Nigerians.

    where's the scam? there is no scam. scammers set it up with a buy it now, they make it so when you click on the page you are directed to thier email no matter what.

    this is just someone who is bored making a fake ID and listing something stupid.

    ebay motors is overrun with $5,000.00 Hemi Cuda's. this listing is the least of thier troubles.
     
  25. well team.... for that price we could chop the bastard, section it and stuff a big motor in the engine bay...what's the problem ...a 300b for $200...got to be a bargain...Oh do I have the price wrong??
     
  26. Its odd that he has no feedback but yet has been a member of ebay since 2003.
