The annoying thing is that it is not just scam cars any more. A couple of months ago I was bidding on a pair of NOS '67 Camaro RS fenders. I threw a bid in around $500 for fun - didn't hit reserve - and forgot about it. A day or so after the aution 'ended' I get an email from the guy who says that the winning bidder (at $1500 give or take) can't complete the deal and do I want them? for my original bid? We'll I'm spectical but what the heck, I may as well respond, they're in GA and they guy sounds legit maybe just a little down on his luck... So I email back ans ask about shipping. Now I am in Western Canada and from experieince I know that shipping will be "pricey" at best. He emails back and says not to worry, the $500 would include shipping...
When something looks like it is too good to be true, it's probably too good to be true.
Just one of many stories I am sure. Good luck with the story Steve.
