$250 to replace three pop bumper skirts (see that eBay listing) ???
Wow, I need to seriously increase my repair prices
Cheers, - Sylvain.

Cash or some trades available. Could also repair a machine of yours +/-$ if needed, in exchange for one machine on my want list, non-working/unshopped welcome!
OK...I just asked if I can come see it and possibly pay cash and pick it up if I win. I will post the answer for all, and you can have your own opinion...
Wow, even the text was also stolen from that recent auction.
I just reported this stolen auction pics & text to eBay. Thanks tslam for investigating.
Let's wait and see how fast the auction is pulled. Too bad the justice does not go far enough to catch these people.
Thanks, - Sylvain.

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 ----------
Just to confirm what you all stated Sylvain

Free shipping? zero feedback? and for some reason lately Quebec locations? Scam for sure. How DO you report to eBay? I've tried but it seems like you can't tell them any details, just report the number?
Hopefully it gets deleted soon. He has a link going on now where you see the auction page for a few seconds and then it takes you to a scam Buy-It-Now page for $1900US. They are trying to get your Ebay and Paypal passwords.
It has been scientifically proven that light is faster than sound. That is why some people seem brilliant........until they open their mouth!
These guys are getting smarter by the day. Like to know how they do that, without even clicking on anything, you get re-directed to a phoney ebay page, hub.ebay.something, instead of cgi.ebay .... a phishing page no doubt.

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"

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, - Sylvain.

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