Actually this car was listed 3 times previously.... each time the auction was cancelled just days before it ended. The seller of the car had the ID xxxadultproducts ! (With a ZERO feedback score) and it was located in Victoria.

The person who is selling the car now lives in South Australia.... and the car is still apparently in Victoria... This seller is using the SAME pictures to sell the car yet again....

... Sammy is correct..Looks like a bona-fide hoax auction or a "fish" hoping to snag a sucker willing to pay by other than normal means..

There are two bids by "Bidder 1"... when you do a check on the bidder... he/she has a feedback score of ZERO.... and has only ever bid on products being sold buy this particular seller !

Dear oh Dear !

Q: Could you supply more photos

Q: Could you supply evidence that your family didn't come to Oz via 'crim' ships.

Ok when you look at the last auction in which the car was sold by the user xxxadultproducts.... You will see 3 bidders with ZERO FEEDBACK bidding on the car ! These 3 users were also less then 12months old... one was less than 90days old!

The new "owner" of the car has a pityful record..... and yet again... bids are made by people with ZERO feedback....

Two people have asked for pictures... and he has used the same excuse both times.

The car is supposedly located in South Australia.... but he doesnt say where exactly !! In previous auction it was located in melbourne. And its still registered in Victoria.

I suggest we all ask him where the car is located and provide us with pictures!

... e-bay supplies the VIN # line so potential buyers can do thier own CarFax vehicle history report. By removing numbers ( the x's ), this makes it impossible to track this vehicle's past.

... sounds and looks like shenanigans!....

More suspicious activity from this seller and his mates.....

This guy who is selling the black XB coupe... also just recently bought THIS COUPE!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 0133443707

Again the seller had ZERO FEEDBACK....

And when you go to the feedback left for this transaction.... "FANTASTIC"...

He just bought a replica GT coupe and all he says is... Fantastic ???

Goes to show how the price gets higher and higher each time....

And proves that you really need to do some history research on eBay before you bid. And dont trust eBay to do an investigation into shill bidding.... because they wont!

I asked the seller to provide the VIN number and photos... no reply and that was over 24hrs ago now.
