the seller seems to have hacked into someone elses account.. and the give aways:-

the legit account is US based, yet auctioning a car in Aus..
"VERY IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING AND WAIT FOR MY APPROVAL!!!"
and he uses a different email addy to the legit winerack account holder

They can't check everything, thats why there is the 'report' function.

I reckon it's legit.

It is an 03 model and it's already up to $25k.

Wouldn't expect more than $35 - 40k for it anyway.

Cheers,

I looked at this one earlier today. Just hit the link again and says the "item has been removed and is no longer available." Could possibly be a hacker.

Sounds a bit dodgy to me..... I sent him an email and got this reply, apparently the cars in CROATIA????



Hello there and thanks for your interest.
Firstly, I want you to know that I ended my auction early because of a buyer who
assured me that he will purchase, but just bailed on me in the last minute. The
price that I want to obtain is $10,500 AU(includeing shipping and insurance
charges). I'm requesting a $5,000 AU REFUNDABLE deposit prior to transporting
the car to your location and the remaining balance to be paid upon delivery,
inspection and approval of vehicle.
The car is like new, everything is in perfect working order, low miles.FORD BA
FPV GT BOSS 290 KW model. It has always been garage kept and adult driven, never
abused or raced . It is a AU model in compliance with AU emissions, clear title
in hand, still registered in Australia and you will have no problem registering
it onto your name. The car will be shipped via air freight from Zagreb, Croatia
and it will take no more than 7 business days to arrive at your location.
This is a large purchase and I would suggest using a third party to complete
this purchase as I want a smooth and safe transaction. We will use eBay Square
Trade, I have completed quite a large number of successful deals using them. I
have a Purchase Protection Account of US $10,000 and I assume you know what this
means.
If you agree with these terms, please reply with your full name and address and
I will consign the transaction at eBay asap.

Regards!

Sounds like a load of S**t to me.
