: unbelievable deal
FancyBoy Oct 29th, 06, 9:53 PM One can not help but think this is a scam but it does appear legit.
If you scroll down, you will see that someone had even asked him what "the real buy-it-now price is". The sellers record seems ok.
I notice though, there are no instructions for payment. It could be a ploy to get the buyer to commit and then use this as a way to force the payment (whatever the means) with the threat of a bad "feedback"..the scammer has nothing to lose.
It could also be one of those rare occurrences where the seller is doing this strictly as a social experiment, to prove a point to his friends perhaps(?).

chevguy65 Oct 29th, 06, 9:56 PM Its a scam!
he made the q and a up to look legit.
Burbank SS Oct 29th, 06, 10:12 PM The guy has 100% positive feedback. Of course the only thing he ever SOLD was a door knocker.
depley Oct 30th, 06, 12:15 AM Ok this should be interesting. I emailed the ebay sellers name and asked where I could inspect the car as I was ready to purchase the car. My bet is I never get an answer.
Brettd85 Oct 30th, 06, 12:24 AM scam, I know of someone whos name was used to sell a scam on ebay. The guy had perfect feedback, but it wasnt really him scamming people. Some guy hacked his name some how. So just because he has perfect feedback doesnt mean its him. If that makes any sense....
ToyzRMe Oct 30th, 06, 1:04 AM Even though it's probably a scam, it IS a gorgeous Chevelle anyway.

chevguy65 Oct 30th, 06, 8:05 AM My email to scammer....
Hi I am interested in your 66.
I would like to inspect it before I click the buy now.
Can I get your ph and where the car is located to have it inspected?
Thanks
Please reply asap.
scammers reply....
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in my Chevy Chevelle. The car is in perfect condition, with no damage, no hidden defects, no scratches and it is as advertised with a clear title. The full price for the car is $5,600.00 with shipping costs included to anywhere in the USA. I request a $2,800.00 USD deposit before I start the shipping. The car was my father's ho passed away 3 months ago in Iraq, it only brings me bad memories and I have no use for it. The car is currently located in Miami, FL where I work and it will be shipped from here. There are no other costs regarding this transaction. In order to be able to buy it please let me know if you have any negative feedback and, if this is the case, for what reason. I apologize for asking such information but I need to be safe. Please also provide me the following details necessary to take a decision:
-your FULL NAME
-your eBay user id for verification
The transaction will close only through the eBay Motors Vehicle Purchase Protection program in order to seal a secure binding contract upon purchasing. If I receive the requested information you will be informed by eBay during the next 12-24 hours.
See attached picture of the car.
Kind Regards,
Alex.
I am going to reply stating I still need his addy and ph in Miami...lol...we will see where it goes.
chevguy65 Oct 30th, 06, 8:09 AM oh yeah here is my reply to above...
Hi Alex.
I still need an address and phone number to inspect the car.
At that time we can make the deal on ebay and I will drive the car home only after the deal has been concluded with ebay and you have your full amount of $5600.00
This way we are both happy!
Thanks again
depley Oct 30th, 06, 9:54 AM I got the exact same email back from this seller lol, I mean the EXACT same one!
I too emailed him back saying I would be in Miami in the next 2 days and needed to personally inspect the car and title which if everything was as he stated I would be able to pay him in cash and drive it home. Should be funny to see the response on that one.
depley Oct 30th, 06, 4:43 PM too funny
I send this
I will be in Miami in the next couple days, I wish to look at the car prior to arranging to buy it and can drive it home. my name is DeWayne Epley my ebay ID id depley, my phone number if you wish to call me is 770-975-xxxx. I am serious about this, but I do wish to personally look at the car before arranging to pay for it. Once I have seen the car I can click the buy now and hand you the full amount of the car in person. I am assuming you have a clear title? What are the first 5 didgits of the vehicle VIN?
this was the response
I have contacted eBay and initiated the transaction. They should contact you about the next step to make in completing the eBay checkout. Let me know if they have contacted you about the details of this transaction. As soon as I receive the confirmation from eBay, I will make the bill of sale in your name and have the car shipped to your address. It will not take more than 2 days for you to recieve it. During this time I am taking care of the paper work that needs to be done and preparing the car for shipping or local pick'up. If you are no longer interested in purchasing the car please let me know ASAP because I already scheduled the shipping and I don't want any delays later than tomorrow.
