A&Q about Lotus
Q:
Can you say "fishy"??
A:
Looks like a typo, it will probably be updated or removed soon. I would guess he meant the buy it now price to be $37,100 ?
A:
Yeah maybe except he doesn't even have the auction set up for a BUY IT NOW even though he stated it in his auction and he has a 47 cent starting bid with no reserve! Not that you can even place a bid because you have to be preapproved by the seller ... and then he says, don't email me, email my friend, it's his car! OY!
A:
i sure that this is a fake cuz he asked that you respond with questions by using a separate, non ebay email address. most of the time when this happens it is a scam.
A:
I sent an email to investigate. I'll buy it for $7100 if it's a clear title and works perfeclty
A:
Back off woman! It's mine, mine, mine!
I already emailed him
A:
I have a bridge....no wait....an island.....called Manhatten...no wait....a Corvette in which 2 people died and were not found for years...no wait...it was an Elise....been in cornfield for 10 years...hidden...
Anyone interested?

How much for the island? Is removal of the residents included in the cost? I've always wanted my own island

Ding. Doubt it's a typo as it's noted at 7100 in two places, chances of identical typos?
A:
I work in Troy and purchased my Elise from the dealer in Birmingham (a couple of miles from Troy). I called them and they said that they did not sell the car. My guy searched for the VIN in a couple of other places and didn't find it there either.

A letter from the seller! This has FRAUD written all over it! SCAM, SCAM, SCAM. Amazing! And this was listed by a seller with solid feedback, though it said he was listing it for a "friend".

yeah but many times peoples accounts are compromised. that's why i like to see what has been sold before in the past.... ie if all they've sold in the past are barbie dolls and childrens toys and suddenly they have 10 auctions for wheels, somethings wrong
A:
Hi slow poke It is very odd that he has solid feedback, unless someone hacked into his account. Or maybe when he signed up for Ebay this scam was all part of his master plan. This is far better than any deal I can get you.

Likely was NOT listed by the person with that feedback, if I had to bet. Probably someone with great feedback to succumbed to a phishing scam.
A:
Yukon?!?!!?!? I bet no Lotus has ever been to Yukon. Ever.
A:
Hmmm, auction removed. The plot thickens.
The elise in Yukon may not be such a stretch, I know theres someone on the board with an elise in Alaska at least. (close enough)
