its pretty obvious its a scam. these type of scam ads are there every day. im really surprised that people still cant tell its B.S a mile away.
you will not find any car of this sort for 10k period.
things that say this is a scam:
the PRICE.
resticted listing.
ebay email account not working.
needs to put AU after the price...because he isnt even in AU.
@any unheard of .com. (at least they are trying harder than they used to).
"this is a special auction"...yes indeed it is...youll feel very 'special' if you win it.

Ummm... are you meaning me? : If so you've misunderstood. I'm curious to know what this twit would say if someone contacted him about his listing. Would be worth a laugh. Unfortunately I'm using a work laptop that runs networked mail so I can't e-mail him at the moment. Anyone want to volunteer? :Up_to_som

no, i wasnt meaning you in particular. my point was that this sort of ad is a very well known format and even the most dumbest person should have alarm bells ringing when the price is so low.
why these people even bother any more is beyond me.
i also contacted ebay about both the ads so they probably wont be up much longer anyway.
Ebay need to start getting their sh't together and start employing spotters to sit down and delete these sort of ads and suspend the accounts.
