Possible SCAM on ebay

Hey read this guys write up....sounds like he does not intend on shipping this thing once he gets your money. Complete greddy turbo kit with only 1300 miles for $1100...somethings wrong.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/mazda...QQcmdZViewItem


I have copied the aution description below just in case he deletes/changes it:

buy with confidence i hav a complete rx8 turbo setup and my reserve is set at 1100 i will not settle for anything less then my reserve price i put approx> thirteen hundred miles only on this kit i decided to get a lan evo i removed it prior to trade in this kit retails for way more then what i am selling it for so dont think your not getting a good deal i am willing to meet my reserve to the first serious ebayer please do not intend to contact me unless you are a serious buyer and have funds ready to complete sale i do not have time for questions not pretaining to my item i can also be reached anytime at 5084461428 also shipping will be provided with insurance and item will not ship once payment is cleared via m/0 or bank to bank or check thank you for your understanding and have a wonderful day

it's possible it's legit.

you can see it only comes with emanage blue. I also notice he replaced the same reducer that I did - so I assume it burst the same way mine did.

Phone numbers being listed in an auction is useless as far as peace of mind due to the ease of getting disposable phones...

$1100 is a reasonable reserve. We've seen used kits sell for $1500+ on these forums.

This morning prior to starting this thread I sent the guy a message and used the "hide your email address" option on ebay just in case. Good thing I did cause I just got an email from Ebay stating the auction was fraudulent and the person is probably trying to obtain an email address.
