I bought my Scrambler off of eBay and sold a feew quads and dirt bikes on there.But when you are bidding on one get the sellers phone number and call him to ask questions.Also be sure it is close enough to go pick up yourself .Ther are more honest deals on there than scams.Remember if it sounds too good to be true it more than likly is.

There have been alot of scams on ebay in the past. Espically on new atvs for dirt cheap. I buy alot of quads on ebay. I only buy when they are within a good driving distance and pay cash. If you are going to buy one off ebay i suggest you call and talk to them and never use weastern union. Try using an escrow service or the EBAY buyers protection. Its a little more money but worth it in the long run.

Make sure the quad is in the US and not Europe and that if you have to pay cash you can come see the quad first.
