This clown has posted this car FIVE times now on eBay, using slightly different wording. Same pic though.. I almost got taken for $4800 for this auction last year - he was stupid enough to claim the car was in AZ - close enough for my dad to drive down to the fictitious address and confirm the car didn't exist.

I think the same clown is responsible for this auction too; HLS30130124 was sold for $12k from a car dealer in California; I confirmed this by Googling the Vin number; the text from the auction is the same as this web page: http://www.classiccarmall.net/classified2-9490.htm

Bottom line: if a seller on eBay trying to sell a Datsun Z car has 0-10 feedbacks only the chances are high that they are a scam artist. I've reported both auctions to eBay, but sometimes they act slowly in researching these reports and getting the auction pulled in time.

:mad::mad::mad:

One has been removed already. Your caution to avoid low volume feedback sellers is a very good one. This gut is pushing 100% positive with one (1) piece of feedback ) probably left by one of his friends.

Both auctions have been pulled now by eBay... would be nice if they could get this guy/gal for mail fraud. I've reported this individuals auctions to eBay security for nearly nine months now.
