just ask seller to clearify? cause it seems like he mix up the title...it could say with plow or included plow

but then again it doesn't hurt to ask if you really want to be sure:dunno:

Anytime they have a listing and they want you to go outside of eBay to pay for it and arrange shipping etc., it is generally a scam.

Im getting freaked on here when and if you read the discription it clearly states hes talking about the quad. Anyways the price is concerning cause im sure this quad is around 5k in usa.. :dunno:

I would leave tommarow to get this if it was legit...lol :burnout:

A good way to tell if its a scam is when the seller puts his email in the auction page. This is because he wants people to write at that address, not the one that the real seller gave ebay. That account is probably hijacked.

I agree, it's not worth the risk, just sounds too good to be true. And looks like aftermarket rims too (doesn't look cheap to me, the rims by themselves)

Did you report him to ebay? Scum like this need to be told on, so unsuspecting people don't get screwed over, I hate to see it happen, even if you deserve.

Like those morons that bought 360 boxes and nothing more for 700 bucks USD because they can't read...well...that's different...you're just an idiot then:thumbsdow

Craigslist and Kijiji are full of scams too. There'll be a sweet car for an unbelievable price. Then the guy will say the car is out of the country, but he has a shipping company ready to ship it to your doorstep. Eventually he'll ask for you to forward a deposit, or payment for shipping...either way, its a scam, the car is copied from other ones for sale on the net. I wonder how many people fall for these things?
