Ebay blag?

[kryten22uk]

Its fair enough to say that the car needs no introduction, but surely people who are going to spend half a mill on a car are going to want to know if its in top nick etc or not. Theres just no info. Also, seems a bit odd to start bidding at only a quid. Is this for real, or am I missing something?! (Not that I have even remotely enough money to bid mind you.)

totally agree...should at least be "guaranteed not a Cat D write off" or similar!
might well be a scam
at the moment you only need 30K mind you!

[guydw]

well it's 250K now

Maybe there aren't too many details as the seller is expecting serious bidders to contact him for all of the info - it wouldn't be hard to trace the car and find out its condition and history etc.

You would have thought that ebay would be aware of this sale and would have checked that it isn't a scam .... in any case how would the scam work, as I guess you'd have to see the car etc and aren't going to transfer that kind of money for a car you've not seen ........

However the buyer seems a bit unreliable, the seller has no feedback, and it does seem odd .... I can't see a serious buyer going near it, surely alarm bells would ring....

First rule of ebay: Never buy big ticket items off zero feedback clowns.

its at £800,100!!!!

didnt they cost 400k new?


he also says it has metallic paint, im sure enzo's were solid paint?

[polarbert]

also funny, there has been 111 bids! how strange


and if you look, you could get an 05 reg enzo for 300k less!

Maybe it's for the bleedin' photos?!

it really is weird. If the whole thing is a set up they've gone to extraordinary lengths to cerate a whole load of fake bidders over several years (which in itself would be a good scam). I find it very hard to believe that 'rebecca1234's first and opening bid was for a mere 1.1 million...do me a favour! but she seems to have loads of positive feedback.

very odd indeed

My gosh what a waste of money. I think its a scam.

But if it were real then imagine what you could buy with that! A lambo, a ferrari, a maserati, a aston matin, and still have loads of change left!

Oh heck why not 40+ Maserati 3200s !!!

[polarbert]

it is seriously over priced for what it is, i mean that was a 400k car new, i know its rare and exotic, but surely it cant almost triple in price


and why did luckyboy keep increasing his bid by 200 quid at a time?

[guydw]

It is clearly a scam - but I really can't figure it out - I'm sure that it is now overpriced ... frankly I'm surprised that ebay haven't noticed and checked it out..... unless it is for real.... surely not ?

Ebay have withdrawn it.
