definite scam because that car was up for sale earlier by the people who built it. the company is called skyline king out of florida and im pretty sure they sold that car for a hell of a lot more than 6 grand. closer to 25 to 30.

This threw up a red flag to me as well:

... as has been mentioned, it is in an image, and I wonder why he wouldn't set his reserve at what he wanted to get out of the car?
This is looking a lot like someone is going to take an ass-pounding paying out their money for this one.

eGay is full of scams. Nothing new there.
If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Nothing new there.
A guy with a low post count makes a thread about yet another ridiculously priced car on eGay, Craig's list, etc. Nothing new there.
Yep, same old same. Lame.

Now they make it even more difficult to report crap. I used to report crap like this all the time for selling outside eBay. now that changed it and I don't want to spend the time to figure out the system again.

I live close to Elgin, I should go check it out. I'm going to email him to ask him if I can arrange a meeting.
This is a scam. Skyline king is a legitimate car builder/importer. People steal his photos all the time cuz his cars are always pimp/baller/vip/awesome. check out his site. ---

Yeah its a scam, I saw the acuall owner selling it a while back for around 20k and this scammer stole his pics. I see these types of scams with a low buy it now price for show cars all the time on egay.
also, I was just looking for a way to report this to ebay....cant find anything, do they not have a way to report scams??
I've never reported anything to them directly but I get a bang out of e-mailing the scammers/sellers and making really obnoxious comments like, "Hell, for that price, I'll take 3!!!!" LOL

Its already been removed off ebay. total scam. I hate those scammers. i got hosed by a guy out of canada when i tried to buy my first front clip (off ebay who did nothing for me). Ended up he scammed about 10 other people as well at about 2500-3000 a pop. We all went to he police, filed reports, hired a pi, and took him to court where he got arrested for fraud. unfortunatley none of us got our money back but it felt good to put him behind bars. that is where all scammers belong!!

haha I emailed him yesterday and I got a response from him today.
Hi !
My name is Dan Hunt, I'm an US citizen but currently I moved with work to Canada. This has no negative effect on you because shipping is included in the buy it now price and will cost you nothing more.
I must tell you that I`m selling this beautiful car not because I want to but because I have to. When I moved to Canada I didn`t know about the taxes for register an US model car. They are extremely high. I also need fast money! That is why I sell it for such a low price.
So I have for sale a remarkable car for those who like to drive and drive. It's very well maintained. The car has a clear title. No damages, mechanical problems or hidden defects and I have to tell you that the motor runs great !!!
1998 Nissan 240SX Skyline ------ Buy It Now $5,900
Shipping will be done with DAS insured and will take 5 days to reach your address. I will pay all shipping and delivery costs (they are included in the buy it now price).
I prefer that our deal to be supervised by eBay. eBay will assign an agent that will receive a $2950 deposit and will place it in a trust account until they have confirmation that you accept the car. After you have received and tested the car and then approved the deal they will release the funds to me.
Please send me your eBay ID so I let eBay know that you are interested. You will receive an email from them with more details about me, payment and how this transaction should be done. They'll release the funds to me only after you receive and inspect the car. I think that this is a fair way to make business and I hope that you will agree. I don't touch your money until you receive and inspect the goods.
I really hope that I have kept your attention and your interest is still on, I look forward for any questions that you might have regarding the car.
What a scam, he says shipping is included in the price.

yea scam. Only was id do this is if he let me come in person check out the car and pay cash. Nothing less. Too many scamers out there. Way easier to buy a car from someone on zilvia then some ghey ass on ebay.

the best thing to do on something like that is to email the seller (like it says not to ) because the same thing happends to me and some dude tryed to sell some boats and car crap thing... if you contact the seller he can contact ebay...(if he doesn't contact ebay he will have to pay the listing fees..)
also when you send him your ebay id he send you a spoof email to get you to sign into your ebay.. and then he has your username and password....

You really gotta be careful with these types of things. Never go outside of ebay! the minute he tells you he wants to do buisness outside of ebay i turn around. That is a red flag to me. I also never buy from a new member with low feedback, i know it doesn automatically mean its a scam but its just easier to stay away from all that.

That is such a scam, I've seen that car for sale at least 3 other times on ebay, all by different people, with really low feedback.
