He is definately a scammer. Posts all these pics, but only offers a buy it now option. Says free shipping, but will take your money and run!! You will never see him or the quad. These scammers will steal someone's ID that has huge positive feedback, but it won't match up, just as stated...this guy mostly sells stamps....and all of a sudden he has a pic with 2 quads and is selling 1...doesn't add up!!

check this out, look familiar???? I thought I was pretty smart with all my internet knowledge. Looked at the forum for quite some time. Found a deal on ebay for an 03 grizzly 660. Got scammed for $6000. Just letting all others to beware.......I had done my research and checked out all the avenues....( I thought ) appears that about 11 of us got scammed for about $60K+. Some of the guys are getting thier money back, but in my case the account has been closed, person will not answer the phone.......might just have to fly to cali and take care of this......so hope all others are careful and do not make this same mistake. Now I feel like I not only Bent over for the guy, but then pulled my own pants down and showed him where to stick it.

Thanks for listening to me rant. Love the forum, and will continue to listen and learn.

We need to have a forum member who lives nearby email the "seller" and ask to go see it in person. That'll tell right away if it's legit.

Do yourself a favor, if you ever win an atv or dirtbike or anything on ebay thats expensive always go pick it up. I would never send that much money. There has been many scams on ebay, the user probably did get his account hacked. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is a scam.

I emailed this guy around 6 tonight, but haven't heard back. If it is not close to me, I will post the location.
