Mr. Doody (Doody) Intermediate Member Username: Doody Post Number: 1965 Registered: 11-2001 Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2003 - 8:15 am:    hijacked ebay account. bullshit transaction. don't waste your time. doody. Richard Gilmore (Astuteinv) New member Username: Astuteinv Post Number: 23 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2003 - 7:28 am:    We will see if he is for real. I just bid 750k. They are trading for $1.1m to $1.3m in the secondary market. I doubt he lets it go for that. He has no reserve so a straw bidder will pop up. Either that or he wants me to wire 400k and he goes poof. Then I will have to alert the FBI about ANOTHER scammer on EBAY. I bought a 355 off Ebay two weeks ago that someone else tried to sell me and did not own it! I wound up tracking the real owner down and bought it from him! I did provide the FBI with the scammers "suite" address (mailboxes etc) and his wiring instructions he sent me urging me to wire 50k to hold the car. Yeah right pal. We will see. I wonder if I get the Enzo for 750k he will throw in the autographed pic of Priscilla Presley he bought on EBAY!

Lawrence Yee (Ferrariguy) Member Username: Ferrariguy Post Number: 329 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 12:31 pm:    Was surfing Ebay and came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6212&item=2438192334 The buy it now price seems to be below the retail price (which I thought was around $650,000) Is this for real??? It's hard for me to believe.
