I know you guys dont alow ebay links but i hope you can make an exception.
below is a copy of my post from KAT.org i jsut ask that mods read everything and become familliar with issue before deleting the link

About a year ago i had a black 98 Kouki... then i sold that to have money for some boost on my 95 Gold Zenki. Sold it to a great person whom i thought woudl be a good owner, then last week dude comes in my shop to get his car state inspected. Everything just as i left it minus the siliva badges(bleeewhh). I even drove it around the block....nostalgia kicked in about then Crying or Very sad . But i manned up and got over it. Guys said hes very happy with it its' never given him any problems so that made me even happier. That was friday btw.

I dont post here THAT much but here it is a i left it, some may remember it:

Anyway, taht was friday now today i am looking through ebay 240s (habbit lol) and i see this 240 heading "240 GTR Skyline" some gay ass title liek that. Naturaly i clikc it and WTF its my car!!!...well not anymore lol. AND buy it now is 5600. i sold it for 12.5 btw so i am puzzled no matter how stupid a person woudl be nobody woudl knowingly loose 6+k without a fight. Something looks funny though. Auction says ODO is 108k but i sure as hell remember that last friday ODO said 154!!! and i got the car with 130 back in 05. Ok maybe he made a mistake.

Then i see that the car is now in Texas....just a few days ago it was here in VA. Ok i guess that could have happend not htat long of adrive hehe.

Somethign still looks funny. pictures are way out of chronological order. one pic it stil has my Megan racing gauges but in on next to it is DEFI gagues which i saw on the car with MY OWN EYES. Not to mention my oil filter relocation kit which was not on the car is now on it in pecs.

Now i am starting to get worried. i check VIN and its not even close WTF. So i call up current owner and ask him if hes selling the car by any chance...i hear a pause on the phone and then confused souding answer"no" .

SO apparently somone is selling it . I hate scammers !! ***** low life bitches!

Now as always ebay is taking their sweet time closing the auction i hope nobody gets tricked in to sending the money because they sure as hell wont see the car or their money!

Did you contact eBay and ask them to pull the auction?

Thanks for taking your time to post it. Hopefully everyone see it and let someone knows so no one will fall into this scam. It happens to me so many time when I am trying to sell my car. Now, I just buy and sell locally. Avoiding all the trouble.

Good luck.

i used that fraud link at bottom of the auction and even spoke "live" to ebay person who said he will make sure it is taken care off. i have a feeling he went back to playing tetris after our conversation.


i tell you when i saw taht 5600 tag iwas ready to buy my old car back :naughty:

yea man it's def good that you posted this. There are are few warning signs about this guy though. Number one, I'd never buy ANYTHING from a guy with zero feedback. I'm kinda on a 100+ plan, lol. Also, that car for $2,500, there's no way! Anyway, hopefully they will take this off. Good job catching that.
