Heres the email I received after asking to see it in person, he states the trailer is in North Dakota and ready to be shipped as he had a buyer back out after shipping... thats when I knew it was a legitimate scam. On top of I've been selling on eBay for close to 10 years and not one thing he's said was even remotely correct about eBay.
Email I received:
Thank you very much for getting back to me but I would like to clarify
some things first.I have the clear title and the bill of sale.
All the paperwork notarized by a legal attorney are ready to be transferred under new owner's name.
I also want to let you know that the price is firm, non negotiable $800.00.
I am selling the trailer at this price because my
wife passed away not long ago (she was very sick) and this trailer
brings me bad memories and that's the reason why I want to sell it
asap. Another reason for selling it is because I work in military and
right now I'm on a military base (814 Medical Detachment-Bismarck) on Bismarck,ND.
We are training and getting ready to leave the country.
The trailer is already at the shipping company Fargo, ND
ready for delivery because someone agreed to buy it,but in the end he
never got the loan. For this reason, the shipping is already paid for.
I will use e bay in this transaction for our protection. If you are
not aware of this program, you should know that it will allow you to
test and inspect the trailer before paying me.The inspection period
will be set to 7 days and I think that is enough time for you to make
a decision about the trailer . If you won`t like my trailer you notify
e bay and you send it back at my expense. But I assure you that won't
be the case.
If you want to continue the purchase, please reply with your full
name, delivery address, email and phone number so I can start the transaction
with e bay and ask them to send you the terms of this transaction. (
with no further obligation or fees).Thank you
