Default Too good to be true for $6K?

Looks VERY fishy to me. The seller states he's in New York, and all the pictures are taken in some desert location? $6,000.00 for a fully resotred 356? Don't click on ask seller a question because My Ebay mail box is so full I so I won't answer? How can your Ebay mail box be full if this is your first listing? Oh brother.

Scammer for sure. I bet it's only a couple of hours before this gets pulled................

This is a phishing scam to grab Ebay ID's. Zero feedback, registered 8/7, there's one born every minute I guess......

I guess I should have said that it looks very very Phishy to me in my first post.

My question is, why is Ebay letting this "auction" continue when it sems like such a blatent scam? I'm almost positive that some 356'ers out there must have already notified Ebay about their suspisions.............

great, now, if we can only get them to segregate real 356s from kits, clones & replicars (not that there is anything wrong w/ them...).
