For $6,400 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1981-Ferrari-308GTB-i-Classic-Exotic_W0QQitemZ4570898717QQcategoryZ6212QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem So if this wasn't a scam and the guy made a mistake in the buy it now price, would he legally have to sell it to me?
It's gone. I just bought it Seriously, buy it and then have NNO go check it out and if it's BS or a scam, you don't send the money.
You have to be a 'qualified' bidder to make a bid. I assume there is some strange requirement to sign some other agreement to bid (which would make the selling price more realistic). If this is not a scam, it looks like a real bargain! BT
Same old scam....you have to contact him to be able to bid, then he tells you the real price, or how to send money overseas.................
I live in Conyers and just e-mailed the seller to call me. If he does I'll go look at the car and report back.
Oooh. Didn't see that. It's probably a scam then. The vin looked real enough and the description seemed legit. I did not notice that part, though. I did go through the items in the seller's feedback and it's a wierd mix. However, most stolen eBay identities have tons of feedback and his doesn't, so I thought maybe it was legit.
Please report back either here or by PM. I know its a scam, but if in the magical possibility that it is real call me at 949-633-6394. I will send cash over right away!
Sometimes people will use the "qualified bidder" technique to get buyers without having to pay the eBay completed sale fee.
Scam. It's worth $10k as a parts car. Notice the license is fuzzed out? They don't want to be traced. The description is suspect too. It reads like a $25-35k car. If it said, "Rough interior, leaks from cam seals, clutch slips, but runs okay" I'd have already bought it. Ken

Condition : perfect working condition , no damage,no scratches or dents,no hidden defects, and it is as advertised.You can see more pictures of the car here: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/atlguy122/album?.dir=1a53 .

I got the same reply to my questions and was just going to post it. ThanksMike, not sure I know how to cut & paste to FChat
Funny, I'm going to Scotland in 2 weeks for a vacation. Maybe I should actively seek out this car and tell the guy I'm flying overseas just to inspect it.
