Of course it's a scam.

Haven't we seen enough of these for people to realize right away that it's a scam?

The initial page is a zero-feedback seller with a high-end pin for a low-low price. That should be enough to convince anyone, beyond a reasonable doubt, that it's a scam.

Somehow I doubt that there are many people out there that wake up one morning and think to themselves "I've heard a lot about this ebay thing. I think I'm going to register on ebay today and list my mint HUO (insert high-end pin title here) that just happens to be sitting in my basement and has been untouched for the last 10 years."

Here is what I got from him when I told him I lived by where the machine was.

"I will change the listing to a buy it now one. I'm in Orlando Florida the item is with me and if you are interested use the buy it now feature and let me know. I don't deal in person. Thanks
Robert"

... gotta love it. That alone is grounds enough to have the auction removed. The auction never states that the machine is in Orlando.

I suspect that the use of Quebec locations is possibly to avoid problems with US authorities, but then again, I am not an expert in that matter.

I miss SpaceCadet's wisdom on cases like these!!

This morning, the redirection was a red flag for my Norton Fraud Monitoring.

And now  
This listing (180153225115) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number.
If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it cancelled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay.

Wondering if all these recent bogus eBay auctions are all from the same person...

Cheers,

I have been contacted by the REAL eBay seller.

He did have the listing shut down, and was very thankful for the tip, he had no idea this was going on.

Once again the powers of evil, shut down, by the power of MAACA!
