Does this seem a little STRANGE to you?

Guys check this out, and see what you think. Look at the bidding list.

I have a cost catalog that only goes to 1998. Muffler & converter right and left side: $620.00 Pipe & Resonator both sides $610.00 Muffler $660.00. That is not even $2000.00. Has the cost of this system gone up that much in a few years. Very strange.

He is just selling the rear muffler and pipes back from the cats, the cats are not included, don't the bidders names and all with 0 bids seem strange too?



Best, Dave

Jeez... for $3K someone can have my muffler and resonators...


If I had know they were worth that much I would have had the muffler shop that cut them out take beter care.

I noticed it also. It looks like the person may have out-bid himself with all of the alias(sunglasses and no feedback) names that appear in the bid history.

"1900 Dodge : Viper VIPER GTS
2002 STOCK VIPER EXHAUST!!

What is the 1900 suppose to mean?

Looks fake to me, but it looks like the scam has sucked in the high bidder. Sure don't smell right to me.

 

[BigCarrot]

ROTFLMAO!!! What the hell???!!! That's got to be a joke! Has to be!

 

[SCS]

Typical ebay scam...All those aliases were created within the past 2 weeks...

This is nothing new and is a real problem on eBay. Watch all the crazy car-related domain names up for sale and all the shill bidding. Cr*p like buyaferrarinow.biz going for $18,500 or stuff like Buyalamborghini4less.com for $10,000. Same bidding patterns, too: lots of 0 feedback profiles. I should know: I own a bunch of Mercedes Maybach domains (good ones, too) and can't sell them for the life of me.

$4550.00 for 1 muffler and 2 pipes? DUH!!!

 

[Y2K5SRT]

I think the problem is that they posted it not under accessories, but under "cars for sale". Thus the high bidder could legitimately claim they were misled. It even mentions a 10-cylinder, 2-doors, etc. in the profile. Hey, not all bidders are rocket scientists, neither are all the sellers...

 

[prodiver]

I sent the high bidder an e-mail and ask him why he was paying so much for an incomplete Vipe exhaust system. I will keep you posted about his reply. If that is just a joke, it is an expensive one. E-bay not only charges a listing fee but a final value fee and that final value fee is well over $100.00.

 

[Magicboy2]

Prodiver, I did the same, hee hee

 

[Gerald Levin]

Prodiver, MagicBoy2, I also did the same. Hate to see someone get ripped off. I also notified ebay to check this out and they sent me this:
Hello,

Thank you for alerting us to this situation.

I understand your concern about shill bidding on our site. Since eBay
does take complaints like yours very seriously, I hope that you
understand our need for conclusive evidence linking members before we
can take action. With that in mind, in accordance with our site
policies, I have found that there is not enough evidence to show that
this bidder is connected to any of these sellers. However, I understand

your concern about this situation, and can reopen the investigation if
any additional information can be provided.

Thank you for helping to keep eBay a safe and fair place to trade.

Regards,
