[doc] Re: eBay Scam?

["Claire Usher" <claire_usher71@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hmm, odd reply like you say, but if you look at the bidding history on
the car, it was all going normally till a zero feedback user (I think
in Germany) stuck in a bid of $100,000 and it all went silly from
there.  Looks like a cheap car for $6600, but I doubt he will ship for
free to UK - thats probably $1500-$2000 alone.
As always, buyer beware!
