Re: 2005 Limited Roadster $4,350 !!!
I replied to the Renton, WA ad. They got back to me (set up an email specifically for this) with a batch of pictures just posted to photo bucket. The pictures are of a Florida car listed on eBay back in January (listed as not sold). The person claims to be a Paula Marshall who said the original eBay buyer backed out after she paid to have it shipped. As a result the car was being handled by eBay and she needed a shipping address (gave them a business address). The price is $4400 delivered! I inquired about the Florida plates on the car from Renton and the reply was, "I mistyped." Smells a lot like Bandini Mountain.

UPDATE-----------------
Lucky me, I won the right to pay only $4400 (shipping included) on this car, NOT!
They sent me a very official winning bid email from billing@ebay.com (DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK)
The notification had all the right logos even rotating ads. It gave me a Purchase protection number to guarantee my purchase.
It turns out "Paula Marshall" Lives in Quebec, Canada but I was to send the Moneygram to a guy in Boston for a car listed in Renton, WA that was originally on eBay from Florida. Of course the money would be held until after delivery of the vehicle to me and a thorough inspection.
Per eBay's direction I forwarded all correspondence to spoof@ebay.com. they replied that this was a fraud and the individual was phishing for info. I am closing the email account I had set up for this and not worried about the business address I provided as there is no link to me.
I am just absolutely blown away at the realism of the email they sent! eBay informed me that if you log into your eBay account there is a tab in the upper right to check on communication from eBay. If you ever get a notification you won something on eBay, check this communication tab. If it is legit it will be listed if not, report it.
