Well if that ain't a 'typo' , it does sound a bit low of opening to say the least.Thanks for the heads up on it.You may get some bidding competition , though. :D <br />Looks to be a pretty slick little rig.

I've looked at it again since, read the sellers feedback and there's something smells like a 3 week old mullet about it now. I think that may well be a hacked account. The hidden buyer ID is a favourite trick of the scammers so I was suspicious to start with.

Here's a thought-is there any way of checking out that number on the side of the boat?

Looks like a scam. If you could contact the seller and look at the boat, any doubts could be put to rest. The guy has never sold anything on ebay, and only bought a couple of inexpensive items non boat relatet. Chief

I've been to England. The flora and fauna, in the picture, are unlike anything I saw there. Also only 20 hrs to go with zero bids??? It's undoubtedly a scam. Put the auction on your watch list and check it later, I bet it'll be poofed.<br /><br />I watched an auction for a 60+ inch plasma TV, asking $2500.00 buy it now. It was a 13-15000.00 TV. It was a hacked identity, just like I bet this is.

Hi all, your resident ebay dummy here :rolleyes: .<br /><br />What would be the purpose of hacking an account? Surely the payment won't finalise until the account is verified, right? <br /><br />Aldo

I was right, it's gone...<br /><br />Not sure exactly how they do it but usually western union wire transfer fraud or the like...they'll ask for payment via another method bar paypal.

I messed with a scammers head once and about a week later my computer crashed and could not be repaired. I don't know if the scammer did it or not but it seemed kind of fishy.
