What do you think about this auction? I want one of these and this seems to good to be true and probably is.

 

[Mike Wilson]

Not Probably,

It is too good to be true!

If it was true, I would have one on my riding lawnmower!

I wouldnt trust that for anything. To bad though huh



Keep looking, you will find a good deal.

Something funny. The ad says "Buy it now 500 usd", yet there is no "Buy it now" option set up, nor any reserve set. I'd stay away.

Most all auctions that say "Contact the sellers before you bid" are bogus. Most are all the same, some out of state person wanting you to wire money directly to them via Western Union. They then take the money and send you nothing. Since it's all done outside of eBay there isn't much you can do about getting your money back. Typically when I see such auctions I check the sellers account. If it looks like a small buyer account, then I assume a hijack and I send the seller email asking if the auction is legit. Also, I send a warning to eBay about the auction.



I have closed down several fraudulent auctions this way.



P.S Telltale signs of a hijacked account are the seller asking you to contact them via an email address that's dissimilar from the auction id; and a seller eBay location in the US, but the request that the wire funds get sent overseas.

Never know, could be a shipment went missing from the manufacturer and they are trying to unload them. I would be skeptical and it will definitely jump a lot before it ends.

Hmmm...just tried to pull up the link. Either the link is bad or the auction has been pulled.

I reported that auction 10 minutes ago.



I simply said that the language just didn't seem right to be someone from the USA.

A lot of thieves on ebay. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Thanks for all the replies. Just above on the auction page was a guy selling a URL to where you could purchase the system. I bet someone will bid on it thinking they are buying the real thing.
