This guy is selling a "Brand new with 1 year warrenty" Predator with "free shipping" for a but it now price of $2800. Sounds like a scam to me!

 

Well, he has 100% positive feedback, so heck if I had the money I would click buy it now. If it is a mistake, I am not sure what the legality of it would be, but it would be nice to have a Pred. for that price huh?

 

it is a scam, but it aint a new one.

I am sure if you check in a week you will see the ebay ID relic was stolen. Do em a favor and tell ebay, I did.

 

100% feedback doesn't mean anything, especially with identity fraud.

Also has, bead locks, nerfs, white bros silencer, and bumper. I sure wish it was the real deal. I am tempted to just hit buy it now, and see what goes down...............carefully

 

Is the guy outside the US ? I saw a new YFZ450 the guy was out of the US. I asked him about shipping cost.


He had e-mailed me back privately and said reserve is 2800 . shipping ,tax, all paper work is included.
And wire him the money and I would receive all the documents in 4-5 days with the Quad arriving in a few weeks.


I noticed the auction on Ebay is no more. Must of got busted !


This is His E-mai reply:::

Hi there,

Thank you for your email.

I am a private seller not a shop and I have (for the moment) the privillege
to buy this item for a low cost (50% of the retail price) so you have the
opportunity to purchase from me a great saving from the original price. This
is due to the fact that I am selling the remaining stock of a bankrupt
store. This is the price agreed with the liquidator of the shop and the VAT
(Value Added Tax) is included. I have available only one piece.

The buy now price would be 2500 USD for the Yamaha 2004 YFZ450 ATV(with all
the shipping/handling and insurance charges included). The unit is brand new
and it has never been used before. It has no hidden damages and it is in
perfect condition.

They ship with all the accessories provided by the manufacturer and have 1
year of international parts warranty provided by the factory and 1 year
labour warranty and will be available at every Yamaha service center in your
country. All the manuals and the original documentation are written in 8
languages. Inside the package you will receive an invoice for the ATV and it
should be kept with the warranty papers.

You will receive your package in 3-4 working days. I send all my packages
with FedEx, and I will cover for all the shipping/handling and insurance
charges. You only pay for the money transfer comission when you wire the
funds, which is about 3% from the total amount sent.

The ATV will be sent already assembled because Yamaha requires their dealers
to assemble, service and inspect all Yamaha's ATVs before delivery to the
customer. Otherwise the factory warranty will be void.

Please let me know ASAP if you are interested and I will allow you to bid or
we can arrange a private deal to save time and money. I have preffered this
special type of auction because of the multiple problems I've had in the
past with bidders who were just bidding for the sake of it, but weren't
interested in buying any item.

Mail me soon and let me know.

Thanks for your understanding,
John

 

Last nights news had a guy who's ID was stolen on Ebay. He normally sells exotic bird tail-feathers, and had excellent feedback. Notify Ebay.

 

Here is a post from a guy on this forum who was scammed.

 

The auction was deleted.. that sure was fast.

 

If you read it carefully the seller requests only Money Grams
I just today asked him a few questions and he was quick to respond with a buy it now price of $2999.00 and he will ship for free.
So I replied with. I want to pick up in person and I want the title or a bill of sale.
Guess what! I haven't heard from him since.

I had seen a few others like this.
