Default Another Ebay Scam

Check out this auction.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2444182251

I emailed only asking for location and got this response:

"Hi,
In Howard Beach.If you are interested please contact me a.s.a.p. as i want to sell it to the first customer who can offer me 3200USD + shipping.Don't worry about the shipping because my brother work's at one of UPS office from here and he will help me to ship the unit more cheap,US.My paypal account is not reactivated right now and i don't know when it will be so as payment i prefere Western Union service because this is the fastest service in the world and i need to sell the unit a.s.a.p. as i need some money to rezolve a familly problem.If you agree with these terms please mail me back and let me know....
Regards"

Hmmm, I only wanted location and this brought up about 10 red flags. Scam central here.
1. registered in Canada a few days ago but he is in NYC now
2. poor grammer and spelling
3. I only asked location and got this crazy email
4. rediculously cheap
5. and a trailer and ramp included, WOW good deal
6. He has a 4X4 with gun rack in Brooklyn? What is he hunting? What no winch?
7. mentions USD a couple times, what else am I going to pay him with in the US?
8. Very eager to ship (what a pain in the butt)
9. UPS doesn't ship objects that large.
10. Paypal suddenly doesn't work
more flags
11. Western Union? Why? do you live in another country or something
12. the van in the photo in the background does not have a front license plate and it is in NY?
13. Does "Playcraft" make the Sportsman now?

I emailed and told him and told him I would come pick up with cash today but I must have the title. For some reason I got no response. Stuff like this really pisses me off. Would like to go down there and snap this guy in half especially since I wanted this bike.
Feel free to email this guy and bust his chops, I know I told a bunch of people to.
