Ok, I checked this guy out..... ALL FORUM MEMBERS, PAY ATTENTION !

eBay "scams" are occuring at a rapid rate. Recently I was burned by 2 sellers who sold items on eBay but did not deliver (I got my money back from 1 of them so far).

IF anyone chooses to bid on eBay - PLEASE, for your safety of your wallet be cautious of "new members"......

THIS guy has only been on eBay since Nov. 22, 2003.....I don't care about his 100% feedback rating because that builds a 'false' trust with his 1st victims.....

I'm not saying he's done anything illegal, yet .....but someone needs to report this guy to eBay for scrutiny. :yesnod:

I agree. eBay should be notified. Nowhere does the seller indicate that it is a plastic model.

I might pay $2500 for the Camaro he's got for sale on Ebay, if it was really his.

Even our friend from Portugal would not stoop so low as to post pics of a model. As least he plagiarized pics of real cars.

I really hope no one is wacked enough to fall for this! It is a nice model though!

When you are looking at someone's feedback on ebay, be sure to check which ones are from buyer and seller. This guy has all positive feedback but only because he's been the BUYER for items and NOT the seller! Good thing to look for when making any ebay purchase. :lol:

I'm not sure what's going on here. This guy has the same listing but the pictures are of a Bridgehampton Blue chrome bumper shark.
