I have seen these end for $0.01 - Free shipping - What the heck?

Scam. The guy hasn't sold anything in almost four years, now he's offering up 28 items for $.01 each, free shipping? :noway: He's got a heck of a deal on that Bobcat skidsteer, though. ;)

Regardless of his intent, a friend of mine used to sell those scooters and they are a big POS from China.

You have to pay with Paypal. They'll probably send their own link to you after the auction for payment, scam your Paypal account. I'm sure some people will fall for it. Even if only one person, they'll get some money from it.

What do you expect for a penny? http://v2-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/moped.gif

I'm not really interested in the scooter as much as how the auction works. Why would ebay keep 20+ auctions going for the guy. Obvously he can't ship for free at a $0.01 - What's going on here, I guess I am missing something.

'delivered to your door with a lift gate for the cheapest price on the internet; look no further, you found it.'


Several places he states "delivered to your door with a lift gate" :confused: I think we need Columbo :D
