So, has anyone else noticed this: You'll see a 355 on ebay for a month. Then it sells, moves to another part of the country, and gets re-listed on ebay, like it's going to have a different result. And of course, now the cost of shipping gets added into the overhead. I can see if someone was buying them, adding value to them and re-selling them, but the buy-it, move it, try to sell it for more strategy. I don't see that working. The worst part is, some of them use the same photos from the previous seller! (makes it easier to spot). I just noticed a GTS showed up on ebay today with 1k more miles than it had when it was listed a month ago, about 1k miles away from where it is now. Wonder if they fixed the 20% leak down (reported to me over the phone by the previous seller) before they drove it 1,000 miles? shudder.
What you describe is often one of two things: The car is represented by two different people (the owner and a consignment shop for example) or the second listing is a scam where pics of the original are used.
Ebay is a very sketchy place to buy an exotic without lots and lots of DD. There was a story awhile back on another forum about a place in Florida that would solicit people to place listings on Ebay for them as if the car was theirs. They (college students perhaps) wouldn't know anything other than what they were told about the car which of course was always mint condition no accidents. Usually the car would be recognized by someone on the forums and the real rolled and totaled story would come out.
