i would definitely wait till this guy emails you back to see whats up, then also contact ebay to see if its legit..

thats just me though. i would never take any risks when it comes to big money situations.

Re: Is this a scam?
 

sounds goofy to me, I'd definatly contact ebay.

wheres the link to this?

Re: Is this a scam?
 

Wow that was quick. Here's his response to my e-mail:

Hi,

The price is your last bid price of: $750 including shipping worldwide
If you're ready to do this transaction I need you to confirm your ebay username, full name and address, as soon as I have your information confirmed I'll start the official procedure, and eBay will notify you about this.

You'll receive important guidelines + instructions from eBay.

Looking forward hearing from you.


Thanks!


This sounds pretty legit. :o

Re: Is this a scam?
 

link!

shipping worldwide? scam.

confirm ebay username? scam

full name and adress? scam..

official procedure? scam...

i sure hope thats sarcasm :P this has scam written all over it.

post a link!

Re: Is this a scam?
 

Lol, your right. The "notify ebay" set me off thinking that than I would get a buy it now link like everyone said. I bid $750 and it said shipping was an extra $50 so that sets off a red flag. I sent him an email back:

What was the trim of the turbo again? I'm pretty sure I e-mailed you before and you told me but I forgot. And also from your location we're pretty close so I'll be able to come pick it up so shipping most likely won't be necessary.

Thanks.


So most likely its a scam. :-\ There's no way I would send him that much money, he is only 2 hours away so I would go and pick it up to make sure everything was ok.

Re: Is this a scam?
 

Wow, I am a ------- idiot. ::) Its definitely a scam. The name of the guy from the auction is: pronova468ci The name on the original letter I got telling me it was still for sale is: renato2000 :S Maybe this can be fun like www.419eater.com 8)

Re: Is this a scam?
 

I dug this ---- up just for you white boy. This is how an authentic eBay second chance offer looks like.

note the link in the e-mail to a special auction just for the second chance. Damn I wish I scooped up that second chance offer too :'(

If you are gonna email someone, I suggest you go to the original auction and click the "ask the seller a question" button and then ask if the deal is legit.

Re: Is this a scam?
 

LOL! His return e-mail from my previous question:


Hi,

Please include in your next email your:
Full name:
Address:
City:
Zip Code:
Country:

so we can start the official procedure trough ebay, and eBay will notify you about this.
You'll receive important guidelines + instructions from eBay.

Thanks!
