Hope it goes to $500k lol.

The scammer must not know what to think... great set up however..
I hope they charge him the proper eBay fees based on selling price.

Looks like it's time to retract bids...almost 24 hours before the auction ends...let's watch this thing fall as fast as it went up

That was awesome!!! Maybe this is the way to snuff out scam artists? Nice work to all those who partook in the counter-shenanigans!!!

Just got an email from the ebayer. Says car is in florida and final price is 19500.00
say he can include shipping in that price...

classic terms like "final price" and "include shipping"

Too funny. I posted this on Post #2 of this thread:

This is what the POS wrote me when I inquired about the car:

Hello,

The car is located in Florida. Where are you located? I don't want to waste your time and you should know that my final price $19.500. I will complete the transaction only through eBay. I can arrange shipping in this amount.Please let me know.


Thank you,
Paul Schlacter


Looks like he is still trying to at least get a deposit or some sort of cash sent his way. I can't write out my response to him on these pages as Rennlist will censor the F bombs. This fraud is true garbage.

In the future on these things, you might try threatening Ebay with copyright violation for using your copyrighted images for commercial gain. Its been my experience that legit web entities will respond positively and promptly but then again, we are talking Ebay so...

Certainly not. Pretty disappointing for a professional scam artist. I would have expected a professionally forged document
