Hey guys, just browsing on E-bay and there is a guy selling P3C's in various sizes brand new for $1200. I have got to assume that this is some kind of scam? The ad is one of the feautured ads that is highlighted at the top of the page after you do the search, don't know if that gives it legitimacy. Thoughts??, I want to jump on this deal but I am way too uncomfortable with such a low price on Ebay. Any thoughts?????

It's a scam. Any time an eBay item description tells you not to bid and instead instructs you to email the seller, rest assured that it is a scam.

My guess is that the seller's account was hijacked by a scammer. The email address in the item description is not the seller's. You email that address to buy the bike, he gets your payment info, and you never see a bike.

Saw that... if a deal looks too good to be true - It is!!!

We can still dream of owning one though. :)

You should report the ad as fraud. I always do. It helps keep people from getting suckered.

i just searched on ebay and all of those scam ads have been taken down.

Wouldn't that be great, I would have gone way out of my way to come up with the cash for that.
