If you can pick it up yourself, it's fine. But otherwise sounds good to be true.

USPS money orders are traceable. You can send it with delivery confirmation and signature required. If you get scammed you can file a claim with the USPS but your money will be tied up or never get it back. Or save up for one and get one that you know will be legit.

or cashiers check from your bank. Ask bank about buyer protection if you get ripped off.

Probably because he's French Canadian. His English is probably a lot better than everyone else's French.
It's an auction so the price at the moment isn't a deal unless the auction ends right away. WRT to very few items sold - people have to start somewhere. I used to sell a decent amount on eBay, but that was a long time ago. If you looked at my account you wouldn't find a sale in the past 5 years, but you'd see a lot of purchases. eBay is built largely on trust, so sometimes you have to take a chance, which is why they've built up their buyer protection business. I'd feel comfortable bidding on these auctions in particular, and not just because I'm in Canada.

Bidded on it for the hell of it. Sent me pictures of inside contents. Might be shady, but if can score for 300.00 range might take chance. Will pay with USPS money order. Traceable and if he is a scammer, will report him for mail fraud. Will ask seller for proof of address, photo id and pay pal account to verify him. If win and works out resell it or trade.

I found the picture he is using from a website that reviewed the 89 batmobile.

Will ask seller to send real picture with his username written on a piece of paper. If a no, will report him to ebay.

More looking like a scam. will post his reply when I get it and picture if he sends it. Hopefully not a photo-shopped or MS paint edited picture with text added like someone sent me in the past.

I was searching for a similar picture glad you found it. I'll just wait to find a deal, also he hardly ever responds to messages. It's a scam, I rather pay the extra bucks. If anyone wins show pics if you do get it.

I am so happy you felt the need to ask about this!
So - Yes, totally trust this person. It's all looks very legit, he just used pics from the web cuz his camera is broken.
And you should only pay with money order, because paypal protection is unreliable, and you don't even need it to begin with.

some of us have been around the block a few more times than others. I still remember the first (and only) time I got burned by the Interwebz. Paid $50 for access to content and ended up getting nothing but a bunch of links to free content Similar threads
