He was also scamming on an '04 Prairie 700! I almost fell for it, but price was too good to believe ($4000 including shipping) so I sent an email to ebay first. They told me it was a scam and to not give him any info. The old line is true, "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably isn't!!"

I think he is doing it again. I did a search for a 2004 Raptor and a seller from Austria was listed with a Raptor for 3700. Is this the same guy?

Its not only happening to people looking to buy, some of the forum members trying to sell on ebay are getting scammed by people trying to buy there bikes. Just be real careful.

I took a look at ATVTrader.com a couple of days ago - Of their 15 "featured quads" (5 in pictures and 10 in print), every single one of the 15 was a scam.

Pretty much makes this kind of advertising worthless.

Yeah traderonline is getting very bad most of there feature add's a couple weeks ago was like 10 out of 15 scam's or at least I would be they were scam's they are all the same european country free shipping and unbeleavable deal's on "brand new" quad's think I saw a yfz450 on there for like 3200$ from italy with free shipping
I would think shipping would be a $hit load from there.

It makes it had to sell anything on ebay or traderonline i just got throw listing my praier for a great pice i though but no bites. I tried to dell it for 4000.00 any the only reply i got was someone wanting my wheels/tires. I just trying to buy a house and i thought it would be a good price.There was one on ebay here awhile back that was chrashed that went for 3650.00. If i could have just got 3800.00 for mine i would have sold it. I know it worth at least 4 or above. But when you need the money it just don't work out for ya. If i get my house with know problems as well as keep the wife happy it is not going no where!!
