spoof auction on ebay #4573385257 - AMC : AMX (a reply!)



Ask and ye shall receive! However, this auction was quickly shut down, and check out the 'seller's reply below, which is basically cut and pasted from their auction! Why would they INCLUDE the cost of shipping this vehicle? That is about $1000 from NM to say, MA or DE or FL.
 
Furthermore, the bidding was over the $4500 'asking price with shipping' listed below when the auction was yanked by ebay.
 
I believe one of the big kickers here is they insist on doing the transaction "thru ebay motors" however since this is now a "invalid item" (go search for it yourself) ebay will NOT allow their site to do any transaction on this item; details in the site map.
 
And they never did give me their contact phone number either. I offered to fly in and pay cash for it, will see if any reply on that. Maybe the good general Sani Abacha http://www.fightidentitytheft.com/internet_scam_nigerian.html is waiting for me with car now.
 
Still more red flags than anything, either that or I'm being too naive?
 
I did email them back after the reply below, and asked for their complete name, mailing address and contact phone number, also asked them why auction was shut down (never mentioned that it was at $5100, over the $4500/with delivery mentioned below) and also asked if they had a clear title to this vehicle.

Dear Customer,
The car is located in Albuqueruqe NM. It has all the papers(complete) as well as the service book.
   I want this transaction to be smooth enough as I am caught in the middle of some very important events and have very few time at my disposal. The car is in perfect condition, no scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever. I am the first owner of the car and it has no accident or any engine problem.
   The price is $4,500 including shipping costs anywhere in the continental US. There are no other costs regarding this transaction. Now, in order to be able to buy it please let me know if you have any negative feedback and, if this is the case, for what reason. I apologize for asking for such information but I need to be sure.
Please also provide me with the following details necessary to take a decision:
-your full name and addr! ess for shipping
-your ph#
Regarding payment I am aware of the buyer's protection and we will use eBay Motors secure payments which will hold the payment until the buyer receives the car. To complete payment the you must have cash available.
If I receive the requested information you will be informed by eBay during the next 12-24 hours.
  Thank you
    Helen Dansro
