Baaaad idea. I tried to set up a fake eBay account. I guess I'm no good at scamming . . . :}

Thanks crunch, I needed that.

Bob VT,

Look above. He's already given me his terms. I have to give him my phone number first . . .

I have all of the pics, but they're in email, I'd have to host them to post them and, well, I'm too lazy. I'll forward them to anybody who wants them.

Sounds like it could be a Muslim terroist to me. Who would have thought that making purchases on Ebay is funding terrorism...

Now there is a tag line I'm sure Ebay would want to avoid. Perhaps we should suggest this to Ebay whenever reporting fraud. Might get Ebay moving a little faster to bring down those items.

Re: eBay boat scam right now

I reported a guy last month that had his username followed by every number from 1 - 37+ . . . He was bidding on boats and cars with Buy it Now and leaving those sellers high and dry, basically vandalism if you ask me. Very frustrating how long it takes eBay to respond, at least a week, you could figure it out in 30 seconds the way I reported it. They need a hot-line addy deal thingee that actually works :|

Re: eBay boat scam right now

I just emailed him thru ebay the following question:

Hi, I live in Vancouver WA. Can I see the boat in person before I bid"
Thanks
Boomyal

Be interesting to see what kind of response I get.

I notice he went from selling Xbox games to boats. Whatta guy!

Re: eBay boat scam right now

After all the warnings about ebay,paypal,porn sites, etc., why would anyone continue chasing a "deal" too good to be true?
ps
If you want your voice heard in Washington, send me some money

Re: eBay boat scam right now

I bid 2000.01 and was outbid so hit on it guys. As a plus it says you can pay by cashiers check OR in person. If it really does turn out to be a real deal (ya right) then meet him in person to pick it up and pay. Out of curiousity what should this boat bring?

Re: eBay boat scam right now

Nada says this boat's worth $27,775 average retail. and $24,300 low retail. Sounds like a bargain.

Re: eBay boat scam right now

... it says you can pay by cashiers check OR in person.

...I`m not in US for the moment and the pick it up option is not available...

So how do you pay in person if he's not in the US?

Re: eBay boat scam right now

I still have perfect feedback, one indescretion ain't gonna hurt me if he doesn't cancel my bid. I think I'm gonna play the game for a while.

mechanical problems . The price for the boat is US $6.800 . As a shipping
career I will use DAS, all the shipping/handling and insurance charges
are included in the sale price. You will get the package with all the
papers, clear title, bill of sale signed by me as well. If you have any
questions at all, please let me know and I will be more than willing to
help you out! If you would like to go ahead with an order right away
contact me thru e-mail and i will let you know more about the

Wait there is more to it.
My firewall detected an information harvesting robot program in the picture.If you do not have a good firewall do not look at this link!!!

What about this reported robot? anyone else see this?

Re: eBay boat scam right now

And he doesn't say he's not in the US in the listing. I have to assume that he is in Portland since that is what it says. Outbid again.

Re: eBay boat scam right now

rolomps note made me look and I was really surprised that it was off. I think I must have manually switched it off to get something done when I was traveling, but whatever, it scared me into a scan . . . took 90 minutes :|

Re: eBay boat scam right now

BTW, great boat. I have a good friend with a 2004. He paid over $50K new and stole it. It has a 300 or 320 5.7 Duo-prop and it runs 50 easy.
