the starting bid should be a fair indication and the fact there is no reserve

"Goldspeed" Nerf bars are also a dead giveaway. I googled them and they seem to be Europe based only, most websites selling them were in Dutch.

both ebay listings have bids on them so bad luck for the winning bidder if they are scams.

they are getting smarter, note that the ebay account is more than a few days old, and it has a possitive feed back, from a few nickel and dime items before they try the big con. some of these scumbags are learning to play the long game.

I dont think the Rexy is dodgy, more than likely the owner was a drug dealer though.

oops . laughing

there were two 07 yamaha 700s on there too. location TNT Australia ,, seller was listed with ebay UK, price was 5200 for both , I reported them and the one at the top of this thread,

I am not an expert by any means but if they dont let you ask a question except by E mail I would be a little suspicious.

ebay appear to be useless, or just dont care. the number of high dollsr items that are shonky is scary. If it looks dodgey I will report it.
