hmmm something for a mopar in the UK... with 0 feed back... It might not be a scam, but it sure looks like it.

0 Feedback probably just means this is his first time selling anything on eBay. If you look you'll see he's only been a member for not even a month.

I sold the motor from boat on ebay and got
alot of BS for not having any feed back.The guy who
bought it only lived 30 min away.I'd think twice
going out of US to buy on Ebay.
Good Luck

If it looks too good to be true it probably is.

This seems reasonable. Try to contact, and feel it out that way. If you get the "move fast, and send me by Western Union", run like the wind. Otherwise it could easilly be legit. Can't be a large market for blown Mopar in jolly old England so how else to get it out of the garage but to e-bay it?

If it is a real deal, don't forget to factor in shipping costs. I sold a set of Bassetts to a guy in Germany. He won them with a bid of $250 and the shipping was almost $500!

If it's what you are looking for, bid on it. Just make sure that he is cool with a "freight collect" or COD shipping arrangement beforehand. if he wants you to pay immediately, or wire him the money, report it to ebay and tell him to f-off.
PS, I just sent him a message asking for his phone number, a shipping quote, and if COD or freight collect would be a problem. I'll let you know what his repsonse is.....

Heres a few more things....
he says it cost him $5,000 ....but its being sold in the UK via GBP :rolleyes:
also he doesnt accept paypal...he actually doesnt even list a payment method
and also the obvious....no feedback....just joined oct 27th.....and the auction is private (no names disclosed)
how many more red flags do you need? honestly, this should be reported before someone falls victim :(

I reported this to e-bay. I think it is a scam.

It's a scam. I got an email back from the seller. They emailed me directly, instead of using the yellow button, refused to ship COD, and her estimate on shipping was way too low for anyone with a brain. And it was a woman's name on the email response. I would report it, but 4trax says he already did.
