31 Roadster on eBay...Looks like a scam to me
 

$9,950 BIN, Restorted '31 roadster.

No feedback history
No location, but local pick up only
Almost no details/description.

Sure looks like a scam to me. What do you think?

Curious? Contact the seller. It looks like a novice seller---or a scam.

I wonder if the buyer will actually get the car?

It is marked Sold, so maybe the truth will come out.

Looked at the ad after it was sold and the sale site says local pick up only, aren't they required to state where the local pick state is??. Or did I miss something?

too many flags on this one. May have been legit, but to not have location ...

Who buys a car with a written description like that? ...in an unknown location? ...with no payment terms?

Wiat 'till the price of Nigeria finds this buyer!

What I can see is that the "bidding is closed". This doesn't mean that the car is sold. The seller ended the listing.

Or did the seller list on this site and eBay?

No date on the page, or when it was marked sold.

No. When I use this or the first link, the same for me. I come on the Ebay.be site. Not sold but bidding has ended.

When I click on the link, I see a photo of the car with a diagonal banner across it that says SOLD. There is also a yellow stripe along the top of the page that says "This listing has ended".

This listing has ended.

From the Australian site:

From ebay.com

But above the sold sticker it says:
This listing has ended.

Take your pick ...
