Take a look at this auction. Is this guy selling a B18C engine, or is he selling a PICTURE of a B18C??

Read it carefully. Something sounds goofy.

I don't really care enough to ask the guy.

Hey sounds to me like he is selling an EXACT COPY OF THE PICTURE BELOW. As he is saying in his thing, sounds to me like he is playing word games.

 

i agree!

 

Ouch, currently $255 for a bad pic of a motor.

 

I think so too. We should bid it up to 20 grand so he has to pay a big end of auction fee to ebay.

 

i wondered about that yesterday when i saw that...hrmm...if its actually a motor is really cheap

 

damn what a smart kinda scammer

 

i do not think it's a motor, it sounds more like a picture of a motor, but who knows.

 

dude that is a scam of all scams!! you guys are twice as dumb for even looking at this thing! i heard of someone doing this b4 and they tried to sue the guy and they didn't win b/c he stated that it is a pic and not th actual motor!

 

That's all the more reason to run the bidding up to $20,000!! The scammer will have to deal with eBay to get his final auction fee back. Of course it would be bad if the guy really was selling an engine.

 

picture is what he is selling from what i read.

 

I emailed the guy that bid on the thing for $255. Wonder if he'll reply, haha.

 

definitely only the pic saying he won't anwser e-mail even proves the case more what an @$$ I feel bad of the person pays the $255

 

sounds like a scam

 

I gurantee that auction is for a PICUTRE ONLY. As everyone has said- you can't email the to ask questions and he is paying for shipping. Come on, who ever is bidding on that is very naive. Who in their right mind would sell a motor for that low or pay for shipping on it.

Any yes, it is true about the previous statement about trying to sue him an you will lose. Just for the fact that he did not mention that you are actually bidding on a motor.

Its like this one time someone had bidded on a PS system. The seller did not mention that he was selling the actual system but was selling the 'box.' So you have to be aware of how seller describe what they are selling.

 

you'd have to be even dumber to buy from someone with FOUR negative feedack. Shipping is gonna run him like 37 cents.

 

haha... that's fucked up. someone is going to fall for it.

 

hey i have 4 neg feedback from flakers who didn't pay . haha oh well i see **** on ebay like this all the time, thats why you always read the description people

That guy is definitely trying to scam someone. It pisses me off that people try to pull a fast one like that. I just emailed the high bidder about the scam and sent a complaint to Ebay as well. Just for the record, being a law student, anyone could bid whatever they wanted for that auction and if they don't pay, the seller would NOT be able to collect on the money as they deliberately attempted to misrepresent what they were selling and defraud the buyer.

On the flipside, an argument could be made that the buyer perceived he was paying for an engine, and the seller COULD be on the hook to provide what the buyer thought he was paying for. Anyways, I hope that guy's account get banned.

 

Thats a fucked up auction... fell sorry for the poor dumb-*** bidding on the picture... sent him an e-mail telling him to check himself... hope he figures it out.

 

yeah that's for an auction. unless he's selling a motor that has a reserve less than 250.

 

Thats fuggin wrong, I'd like to shove that pic up his ***, and if it is real I'm even more pissed I did'nt Bid
