Thumbs down Watch out!!

Definitely beware. There are a couple of scam artists on eBay who sell 928s that don't exist. They have valid VINs to make it look real.

There are a couple of things that tip you off. First is the "Buy It Now" price is less than half the value of the high ticket item they are advertising. You can start an auction off at a ridiculously low price, but if you can buy it immediately for way under book there's something wrong. The other is they want a Western Union transfer or cash only within a few days and won't allow you to use an escrow company to hold payment until you get the goods. They say you can go pick it up and bring the cash, but it's usually too difficult to do such a thing within the payment period. If you happen to be able to get there, they don't show.
