    eliminate any concerns i sugest a deposit of $3,000.00 and after you

    received the car , you can pay me the balance.

    Shipping will be done via Lufthansa and will take no more then 4-5

    Better yet, I play along wanna to pay him the full amount and here is the email back within an hour or so:

    Dear Ken ,

    I would like to take a moment to personally thank you for your decision
    to
    purchase from me.
    I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate your
    business.

    Please write your name and address so that I can prepare to ship. (If
    you do
    not write your shipping address , please note that it will delay
    shipping of
    your car.)

    For closing the deal you have to go in person to an western union agent
    from
    your town and wire the deposit ($3,000.00).You will pay the rest of the
    money as soon as you will receive the car!
    To send the money bring some identification and fill in a short, simple
    form.
    Pay for the amount of money you want to send, plus the Western Union
    service
    fee.

    I will take the major costs like shipping and insurance and you take
    only
    the money transfer commission at western union ,which is around 4% from
    the
    total amount sent.

    Make wire transfer to:

    First name -Nick
    Last name -Treadway
    Address : Sokolska 44
    City -Prague 2 ,
    Postal Cod -12000,
    Country - Czech Republic


    Your Ferrari will be shipped asap after payment confirmation and you
    will
    get it in 4-5 days at home.

    And one more thing

    When you will go to the western union office to wire the money
    sometimes
    they ask you why are you doing that.If you will tell them that they are
    for
    something you have bought ,I will have to pay when I pick up the money
    a
    very expensive tax for making commerce.This is the part where I lose.
    If they ask you that you can tell them that the money are for a
    relative.I
    will appreciate.
    This I can avoid spending some useless money and the truth I am not
    willing
    to do that.
    I will send the car as a gift so you don't have to pay any additional
    taxes.

    I hope you will understand why I am doing that and I also hope you will
    end
    this deal sooner.

    Thank you for your understanding and I hope that you will have the
    pleasure
    to drive this car.

    Your immediate attention would be greatly appreciated.
    With best regards
    Nick Treadway

    ROFLMAOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! All i asked him was why he was selling his car for so cheap if he can easily get $65,000-$75,000 for his car... Here is what he sais...!!!!!

    Hello ,

    I need money fast because my daughter has some serious health problems.
    She suffers from a rare heart disease and she urgently needs a heart
    surgery, which is very expensive, so now I must sell this car very fast
    because this could be our only chance.

    I'm aware that the car worth more then that , but the car is less important
    right now then my daugther's health!

    Let me know if you are really interested!

    After the one that i just posted (one post up) i sent him this:

    Oh, I am very sorry to hear about that... Why did they pull your item
    off eBay? I may be interested. Give me another email with service
    records and everytihng i need to know about the car. Thanks...

    Only a few minutes later he sent another email. Here it is:

    Hello ,

    I decided to stop the auction early because there are many unserious buyers
    who bid just for fun so nobody will be able to buy the car through ebay and
    it seems that Ebay suspended my auctions because i have tryed to close a
    deal outside their site to avoid paying unnecesary fees to them which is
    against their regulations.
    I realy didn't know that until now.

    Shipping will be done via Lufthansa and it will take no more then 4-5 days.

    I have a friend at Lufthansa who will manage me a low price shipping and I
    assumed that it is from me to pay for shipping it.
    When I will ship it,I will declare it as a gift so that you will pay no
    customs when you will receive it and for this it will be delivered directly
    to your address.
    Also, I have to let you know that I want the payment priori shipping since I
    will ship it in the same day or next day the payment is complete.
    For the moment I can only accept a wire transfer as a payment method and the
    fastest is Western Union.

    Also,you have nothing to worry about because this deal will be done in a
    secure way if you prefer.
    The most important thing in all my activity here is that I am affiliated at
    Ebay Square Trade , I have a a purchase protection account for $10,000.00
    and I assume you know what this means.

    How you are protected by Square Trade,in case we have a deal:

    1) If you will not receive the car as i described to you,although this is
    not the case,Square Trade will refund you with 100% from the whole amount
    which you paid me.
    Even in case you will not receive the car ,they will refund you the money.

    2) You can send the money to my name and address but you will not give me
    the details from the payment.
    You will give the details to Square Trade.
    They will verify the payment and if is OK,if the money exist and are
    available under my name they will notify me to proceeder with the shipping.
    After you receive and see that the car is the one you want,you just notify
    Square Trade to forward me the payment details in order for me to pick up
    my money.

    Let me know if this is OK with you,so that we can move forward with this
    deal!
    With best regards
    Nick Treadway

    What do you guys think i should tell him now? This is tooooooo funny!
