    This eBay listing meets just about every criteria for warning of a scam. (1) 24 hour listing; (2) Never sold anything like this before; (3) Absurd low price with no reserve (could I REALLY buy this for $1); Pre-approved buyers only (e-mail him, and see if he offers to sell you the car right now, for a really low price, with you sending an immediate deposit via WU or other untraceable money transfer service); etc. (If your taste is different, he also has a Cobra replica for sale for $1 as well.

    This appears to be a classic case of "Buyer Beware!"

    And where is the car located? I couldn't find any location in the listing. The seller does have good feedback, but it still doesn't feel right. Smells fishy.

    ok I sent a email inquiring as to the location of the vehicle below is the response I received. I mean really if you are going to run a scam at least learn how to spell the name of the country you are claiming to have the car located in.



    "Hy,

    Before any bidding takes place you must know that we are located in BULGARY.
    The "Buy it Now" price is $8,000.
    You will not have to pay any additional taxes like customs, etc., because
    the car will be shipped delivery duty paid.
    Delivery Time: 4 days
    Terms: 30 days money back quarentee
    Payment: Wire Transfer
    If there are any questions email back and i will answer shortly.
    The terms are flexible.
    Usually my customers send me a deposit, then fly in and pay the balance.
    What do you have in mind for a total price and how soon can you take
    delivery?

    Thank you for your interest in my 1975 Ferrari : Dino 308 GT 4

    I'd wire the funds, but all my money is tied up attempting to help a Nigerian Prince recover his millions. When that comes through, them maybe I'll see if Michael Douglass will accept my cash. I wonder if Catherine Zeta-Jones comes with the deal?
