So, if you want to buy this vehicle, which I do,,,then normaly you get an absentee bid form from the auction house, Easy, figure out shipping easy,
what this guy is offering is to bid for you, WHY? do I need you to do that? then move and store it for me, OK. that seems reasonable,
the part that isn't reasonable, is to send him the total amount I'm willing to bid on this vehicle for him to ?????? with,
has 0 feedback on eBay,
problem with paypal, is even though you can contest when/if he doesn't even go to the auction, or buys himself something else, is you can fill a complaint, but if you sent him the money and he transferred it to a checking account which there is now no money in, you got squat. they can't get you your money back if it isn't there, all he has to do is withdraw it from the bank, close the account,
could be legit, probably isn't, the funny thing that made me post this, is if you are going to pull a "buyer representation" scam like this, why not do it for a big ticket item instead of a 52 cornbinder?
best I'd guess he's gonna get someone to pony up would be a few thousand, better chance of hitting it big with a 63 Corvette, or something.
I'd love to have an L travelall to go with my 3 other ones, but not enough to give a stranger some partying money
