Hey all,

Cruising Ebay as always and came accross this link.... Brand new 07 YFZ450 for $6000 landed, imported from the US. Has anyone contacted these people or had dealings with them. 0 feedback doesn't instill a whole lot of confidence !!

i saw an ebay listing once for a used YFZ and the seller claimed it was in sydney australia, pity the seller was a member in the USA, had zero feedback and the pictures of the quad had left hand drive SUV's in the background like dodge rams etc

A lot of these listings don't last long on ebay cause they get reported to ebay as a con.

We use to get heaps on ebay.au but it doesn't seem to happen as much.
They were all from supposedly the US (a Nigerian can open an ebay account and claim he is from the US) and offered cheap atv and cheap freight.

Scam for sure, but he does offer paypal, so how would the insurance cover they offer work... And it looks like he's cut and paste the info of from a article of sorts, seems know what he's on about a little to much.

I have no doubt it's a s-c-a-m, specially since on US ebay a new YFZ450 is $5899US from a dealer. Converted into Australian dollars this equals $6930.62 and lets say you did ok on shipping and payed $1000 all up. Total price landed here of $7930.62
