Seems like it wasn't too long ago this forum contained a posting about an unbelievable price for a John Deere 5220 tractor that had scam written all over it.
Use the below URL to take a look at another unbelievable eBay item. A new John Deere 2210 with a "Buy it Now" price of $2,500. This listing is restricted to pre-approved bidders or buyers only with a note to send e-mail to the seller to be placed on the pre-approved bidder list. Looks a bit strange to me.

Wow it gets even better /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif The same seller has a 4310 also with a $2,500 "Buy it Now" price.

The above auctions look too good to be true. It also looks like the seller is using same picture being used for another new 2210 being sold in a different auction by a different seller. That one has a current high bid of $11,100

Searching on eBay I get almost as many chuckles as reading the comics in the newspaper but then it I get depressed thinking about people who are being scammed every day on eBay. As an eBay buyer I guess you really need to take to heart the saying that if it is too good to be true it probably isn't true.
Pretty strange stuff out there. Is this another scam or a mistake on the part of the seller who never meant to include the "Buy it Now"
What do some of you other eBay/internet tractor detectives and sleuths think?
