There is a pinsider from Walla Walla, I just can't remember who it is?

My guess is its a hacked ebay account and a scam. There's perhaps another eBay ad - but more likely a CL ad - where these pics were lifted.

I'm a little surprised no one is bidding, but I'd think since it's a scam, no one is bidding.

Scam.

Just emailed for hahas.... here's the reply, definatly a scam gentlemen.
Hi,
If you want to buy it now for the price of $2500 with shipping and handling included, i will need your full name, address(shipping address) and username so i can contact the eBay team to let them know about our transaction, and after they will approve it, you will receive an invoice containing all the steps that you need to follow for this to be a safe and fast transaction. Also a phone number is required where you can be found at any hour(cell phone). My auction is 7 days money back guarantee (if it's not like we agreed, or broken you will receive the money back). I can ship in 3 days via UPS, and please let me know if we can arrange a deal.

Thanks,

Nadie

Too many mods for it not to be a scam. Anyone that went to that much trouble knows what its worth.

Someone say you live in walla walla and see if you can come pick it up.

Looks like its too good to be true. The ad says she will take the deal offline for 2500 shipped, CQ and way cheap for a TZ in that shape. She also has a AF for the same deal. If I were in WA area and good to do a cash in hand sight seen deal, it would be worth a check.

Shascam!

I am going to email with a I live in walla walla and see what she says. BUT there are several problem s with it already. FIRST buy it now is ONLY before bidding starts. after bidding starts there is no buy it now. Also I am pretty darn sure UPS does not ship stuff that big. Will keep you informed.

Ding!
Also, no mention of what the "item" is in the reply.

This guy had an ad up about a month ago when I was looking to buy. The account said TX then and I emailed him and he was very pushy and I asked for pics and he would only send me an a youtube vid he stole. It has to be a scam!

Definitely a scam. I listed a motorcycle for sale on craigslist one time and got emails like this at least once a week. You can tell just by reading the reply email posted by pinsrus, they all sound the same.

It is a scam. I listed an item one time, saying e-mail me an offer, and I'll end the aution. E-Bay pulled the auction within minutes, saying it was pulled, because I was trying to make a deal outside of E-Bay, and trying to avoid their fees. If it were real, it would have been pulled by now.

agree it should have been pulled by now, but it is still on there. I emailed saying I would pay the $2500.00 and come pick it up. so much for her Iphone email cause I haven't heard anything yet.

This has been on the rise. This is the third machine I have seen like this with the same exact comments. I would assume this is fraud.

I did the I live close before and the story usually changes to well the item is in another place where my sisk sister lives. Taking care of her there. I reply, perfect! I am there in two days on a business trip I will bring cash and he got in person.

Reply- well I am actually there. It the item is in a third location.

Me- even better, that is where I have family I am going to visit after my trip. I can give you money and then go collect. Silent after that. Love to play their games. I figure If I waist their time they will have less to bother people who will get caught.

I also mail the prepaid letters I get I the mail with crap from other places . Just swap junk and mail it back. Keeping the post office busy and getting rid of junk at the same time. Just make sure you do not mail applications with your info already on it to a third party.

yep its off ebay hmmmm SUPRISE

Scam. I'd bet my life on it.

Yep....both the TZ and TAF listed are now pulled
