That is why I am soooo nervous about it. I have been wondering if it is stolen, or he gonna not send it, or who knows what.

Seller: This dude didn't check it out in person, I'm not in his state, he should've been nervous about it kinda a big purchase for him.
Seller's friends: And he bought it?

Buyer: I was saving for the mongoose kit from mph but this is a ton riskier. hp produced is almost half. Not the same as an mph kit but pretty close. Well, not really...
Fixed it for you. You always get what you pay for no matter what. Why cut corners to get a blower when we all know you won't accept the blower cutting corners when you're using it?

I thought the guy lived near you.

Sounds like a scam. That kit would catch $2,500 on e-bay np from a reputable seller.

It is on ebay. I dont think I am gonna persue this deal because he does not have any feed back, he has never sold any items. I have sent him few messages and he keeps only answering The kit is new in box buy it today for 1400. He wont answer my other questions about shipping or anything. So dont know how much the shipping will be, he too is making me nervous with his replies. I am gonna keep saving for the MPH mongoose kit i think. Also if he screws me over the maximum refund on ebay will be 175 dollars.

Yeah, I am too paranoid about being ripped off so I will probalby pass but here is the link. If anyone buys it let me know how it goes good luck.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

I e-mailed him to get the buy it now price of 1400 but he does not answer all my questions every time.

Thanks for all of your guys insight.

Do yourself a favor and stay away. If the dude cant even answer simple questions and just says buy it now $1400 no matter what you ask them, its fake. I have run into morons like that. Even when i try selling something, i'll get contacted by wackos like that, they have broken english and make no sense. Yet they are overpaying me by $2k with money orders and crap.

i would be wary as well. I have seen that pic before with a ton of new people jsut signed up and selling expensive stuff.

Ask the guy if he will be willing to go through an escrow service (escrow.com) you send the payment to them, they will hold your money until you recieve and approve the item, then they will release money to the seller. It may cost you a few bucks but a small piece of mind to not get ripped off.

If he wont go for it, tell him to go f himself, the scammin bastard. Notice also, the high bidder has no feedback as well, tag team, i bid up your item, we screw people outta cash, we split the dough! who's in?!

I bought mine off a corral.net member and it worked out fine. maybe lucky i guess. i paid with a cc thru paypal so i could get my money back from a fradulent charge.

+1

Rule of thumb, if it looks like they don't know English, don't buy from them, and if they can't answer any questions about the product and completely avoid the questions, they're gonna rip you off in a heartbeat.

Just to prove it to yourself, write down his seller ID and the ID of the poor sap that wins. Check back in a week or two and look at the negative feedback, or take it further and email the buyer. It won't be pretty.
