the usual scammers format, they dont ever change.... auction kept private, no feedback, first sale and User ID kept private, registered just 2 days ago

bet you'll find the proper auction happened a couple of weeks ago on ebay US motors, the scammers just copy and paste the details/pictures they dont even bother half the time to change the words

email the guy tell him you'll bring 2 grand cash on saturday for collection, then wait out for a poorly worded nigerian reply with all the excuses, trying to persuade you do to something else. Genuine viper parts very rarely appear on UK ebay

Baz should know better !

I'm toying with him as well: Sent him an e-mail stating that I was interested and wanted to see the wheels first...Here is what I got back..Oh, the e-mail response I received from him was NOT sent thru Ebay messages like sellers normally do to have it documented thru Ebay:

"Good Afternoon,

The wheels are brand new, there are no marks or damage on the wheels. The price that i am looking for is around 1,000.00 GB Pounds. So if you decide to buy them please contact me and i'm gonna offer you a private transaction through eBay.
If you want you can come and collect them yourself , but to be honest with you i don't understand why you want to travel so many miles because the package will be shipped with a return policy for 14 days. The return policy will work like this. You will have 14 days for inspection. If the wheels will not be as you expected to be or if you are not happy with your purchase for any reason, you will be able to return it back via the same service that was shipped without paying any shipping cost and you will receive a complete refund back in the same day.
If you need to know something else please feel free to e-mail me.

Kind Regards,
Ethan"

It just gets better and better...Just received a response from him regarding me coming over to see the wheels in person....

" I don't know if i already told you but i have recently moved with my family into a new house and i'm working everyday over my head. That's why i prefer to ship the wheels through a courier, i'm affraid that i am unable to establish an appointment with you. I hope you will understand the situation.

Kind Regards,
Ethan"

Good Afternoon Dave,

If you want you can come and collect them yourself , but to be honest with you i don't understand why you want to travel so many miles because the package will be shipped with a return policy for 14 days.

One more thing, because we are talking about alot of money here i want to complete the transaction through eBay protection, in this way we'll be both protected. For this i will need your full shipping informations (full name, home address, phone #) in order to contact eBay to setup a secure and protected transaction. As soon as i recive your shipping informations i will forward them to eBay, they verify this transaction and if everything is all-right, they would send you an aw-comfirmation invoice regarding how will be complet this transaction in safe mode. Let me know if you require more details.
If you need to know something else please feel free to e-mail me.

Kind Regards,
Ethan
