Yep, these are scams. I have reported about 6 in the last week, and they keep letting it happen.

There is another raptor, and a grizzly with the same type deal. Definately too good to be true.

The only thing that seller left out is if you purchase this quad, you also receive a deed for 3000 acres of ocean-front property in Utah.....gimme a break!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Ask if you can pay cash and pick it up in person. Then see if they crawfish on you. Bet my paycheck to yours that they don't want to do that!!!!!! This has been going on for a couple of weeks that I know of. Put out the word.

The ones that I have emailed over the past couple of weeks tell you that they are located in europe or africa or someplace out of the states. Then they want you to wire them the money and they will ship the quad.

Send your money and you get nothing, and good luck going after them, out of country out of our hands is what the police will tell you. Mean while you are out of luck and money.

If you find these deals, email them, they will tell you the same thing. Anytime you see a near new quad that is worth twice what they are selling it for it is a scam. Scam, Scam, Scam

If the balance is due, then how much do you have to put down??

The last one I talked with ebay about the identity of the seller had been stolen, so the city and state were of the accounts real owner, not the guy posting that.

Trust me it is a real scam, but if you want to take your chance. It says you have to be an approved bidder or buyer, what does that mean.
