Default '03 DS650 for $500/$2000 on Ebay a joke???

Okay...

Call me dumb, or not too observant....
But doesn't it look like this ad is $500 currently... (with an old buy it now for $2000)????
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...482368296&rd=1

(There's no shipping gotchas that I can see either)

I must be seeing things.

As I also know there's many scams... I just had to be sure... or point one out.

Be very careful about buying ATV's on Ebay, especially if they try to make side deals with you and they live in Europe (i.e. Britain, France, Italy). There is a scam going around where people offer ATV's at incredible prices and usually free shipping, but you have to send a money order under a different name, or bank wire, or other scams. Don't do it if you're suspicious. You'll lose the money and Western Union security personnel will tell you not to do it.

I know about the scams...
And have heard of many different ways to scam....

I just read the feedback of this person and it was pretty good, however... they only have been selling things like pants, shoes...etc. Nothing of large denominations.

Here's the email they sent back to me asking about the deal they had;

Hi, The quad work fine. It has a clear title. The free shipping is for UK. If you are outside UK you will have to pay an extra $550. It will take about 4-5 days. For payment I want to use an escrow service (a 3rd party that will hold the money until you get the bike). Mail me back if you really want to buy it. Regards

lol... falling for...??
Naaa... just reassuring I didn't eat too much chocolate at lunch, it seems to effect my vision AND MY THINKING!

Believe me.... with the email I just sent them... I'm sure they run away from responding. Here's what I sent them in reply to that lame *** response they sent me.

Here ya go; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Send me the VIN number and license number please...
I'll be running it to see if it's valid and who it's
registered to.

Also, please send me your full name and address so I may
match it up with the current registration (license)
information I get back on the quad. If it doesn't match...
I won't be buying it.

Also...
Send me a copy of the current paperwork to a USA Fax;
760-930-XXXX

If everything matches...
Then the money can be wired.
What Escrow company are you planning on using???

Let me know as soon as possible.

I'm waiting on;
- A fax with all current paperwork
- your full name and address
- Escrow company you plan on using
- Vin (frame numbers) number and all related documents

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you look at the vehicles in the background, I think is safe to say that the plates on the cars are from the U.S. did not research it but I think that plates in the U.K. are the long narrow type. Any Brits on here to confirm or deny this. Just a little somthing I noticed and thought I would share.

Someone on ebay was selling (5) DS650 but they stole pictures off of this web site of JMAC650 ride. So the picture doesn't mean a thing. They will seal the pictures just like they are stealing the money. BEWARE!
