Definitely not scams. I recommend everyone who has available funds to proceed with the "buy-it-now" process.

Please be sure to post pics upon delivery of your new classic car that was purchased for 10's of thousands of dollars under retail/wholesale...

Default Scam

I just bought all 3 cars. I traded them all my ENRON stock that is sure to come back any day now. They assured me delivery in 48 hours and I think we both made out on the deal. I think I will call Proteam to resell them as soon as they get here. You guys snoozed and I won.
