Fwd: Re: 1960 Chrysler 300f ebay item#160056657727

[John <spiers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kenny - 
   
  There are a few reasons why the 300F listing was fraudulent (by the way, it is no longer a valid listing, and has been removed from eBay) :
   
  1) Buy-It-Now price too low - if someone has the know-how to set up an eBay listing, they also have the know-how to do a little research to see what the present market is bringing for a particular model.  They hope for some quick cash and a greedy buyer.
   
  2) They have not even officially set up the auction as a Buy-It Now, though they list a B-I-N price in the description.  This brings in the attention of too many people - they only need one sucker to reel in.  They want to minimize eBay's watchdogs as much as is possible.
   
  3) The seller, who apparently has stolen a good seller's eBay ID, is requesting that all potential bidders contact him through his personal e-mail, and not to use the eBay messenger.  He further states that he cannot receive messages through the eBay messenger, since it goes to his work.  If that were the case, he could easily change it, or simply look on his "My Messages" ebay page to see any correspondence he has.
   
  More than likely (and I'm sure that someone on this listserver can confirm) is that this car is for sale, or has been sold on eBay, or some dealer's website.  That's where the pictures came from  -download, plug & play, no car, just pics.  Seldom do these frauds sell a 1980 Plymouth Reliant parts car - not enough money in it, and limited buyers.
   
  To the others who have reported fraudulent listings - I forgot if there are any other tips to watch out for, please feel free to add any I missed.

Hi John.

For those of us that are newer to the club (or just want to learn), could you explain
how you know this car is a fake?

Thanks,

should be a site on the display page listed as a "report a possible fault". What gets me
is he has established a 100% feedback. He keeps moving his location place Hawaii,
Arizona, or where ever.
