That's hilarious, I looked at that auction a few minutes ago. I glanced at the pictures, mileage and location but didn't look at price.

I love to see people taking care of scammers.

Iguess I missed it. Why is it considered a scammer. Everything looked ok (note Viper ads in ebay say automatic for some reason) to me except the bidding which jumped dramatically, with most the high bids between 2 people.

An unrealistic starting price of $6000+ seems to indicate the seller is just trying to to get a response of some sort out of someone gullible.

And if you are greedy, you may send him the money, but you won't ever get that car!

Not sure I agree with that. ebay charges more based on the starting price so many start very low. With over 300 positive feedbacks and 5 negative they have a pretty good track record. Hard to believe a scammer would make that long and large of a history for one scam.

I would not bet against this being legitimate.

Hmmm, I totally forgot to look at the feedback...Good point.

Sounds too good to be true, so its being pummeled with sham bids.

I know I received about three emails just this week from a "seller" saying they have not received the item I sold and they would report me to ebay if I did not respond.....of course when you hit the respond link you have put in your user ID and password.

When you view the source, you see the scam.

I'm wondering if this seller "edresa" had their account hi-jacked?
If you view the feedback and look at past sold items, they are all womens clothes....

notice this from the auction:

"Please do not contact me by ebay system because your email will go in my work email and I won't be able to access that email until next week.You can contact me to: [email protected]"

BS. clearly a stolen ID.

Well I sent a comment to the ebay contact. So if it is stolen the owner will have an opportunity to see and close it. Or, in the case it is real, to indicate it as such.

As I suspected, after contacting the seller via their ebay account, they had it taken off. So you guys were right it was a scam. But Younggun you are going to have to try bidding on another to get that top Viper ever bought prize.
