what happened was someone got a hold of his username and posted the auction as a scam. Then the original user found out and changed the name of the auction to gain ebay's attention and keep people from bidding. Ebay sucks.

I bought a Blaster on Ebay. The transaction went really smooth, and I got the bike within 3 weeks. You just gotta know what to look for to identify a scam.
Scam =
Different country
Bidder ID hidden
Contact before bidding
Wire transfers only
Way too low on price.
No actual picture of quad.

yeah i learned my lesson, looking back on when i picked it up his van had a chain on the back of it (to pull start it) and it was running when i got there then it cut out when he put it in neutral and he said it was out of gas, he put a little more in it and used starting fluid to start it and i handed over the cash plus no looking back i payed way to much considering he didnt have a rear caliper and the carb needed new jetts which ha failed to mention!!!!

If you saw all of that before you payed him you have no one to blame but yourself. Not the brightest crayon in the box are we?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
