C2 427 eBay Scams??

[Bob B.]

Hi!

From time to time, I see something like a 427/435 come up on eBay for like $5,500, but it is "restricted" to "preapproved" bidders. Can anyone tell me what the point of this is? Are they pulling a scam? If so, what? Maybe this has been discussed before, but I'm not sure how I could search for such a topic.

Thanks,

Bob

Bob, A thief has copied photo & info from someones ad. Then they put it on e bay with a BIN price. If anyone contacts them & sends $ they will never see Car or $$ again!!!

Big time scam. If it seems too good to be true it usually is. I think the catch is you have to wire this obscenely low price for the car to an offshore bank and then it's bye-bye money. Same old story, my uncle bought the car new, he just died, his wife wants me to sell it, yada..yada..yada.., or any one of a dozen similar stories.

You see the same thing on Harleys on ebabe. WOW, LOOK, 2005 H-D Softail for $4000.00 They usually catch them and pull the ad off.

I sometimes when get board I do a "BIN" search on Ebay. Usually 67 Corvette or 70 Hemi Cuda comes up with a BIN price of $5to$12k. I contact a friend of mine and we will bid it up to $100 to $200K ( after 15K ebay requires a credit card for verfication).This causes a "flag" by Ebay and the auction is canceled within 24 hours.Most times thes type auction appear on stolen ebay account #. That why I never let anyone know my ebay account # id of Fay A King with hard to remember password of chump.
