When I posted it, it was of course a "good" link as seen by the next posting. I assumed that it was a scam but at that point I was not the one to call it that. What I hoped was that like the one on the Kubota group recently, that a person that had bought the very tractor shown in the pics, after seeing the same pics that were used to sell it to him, reported that somehow his tractor was being sold.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
So, someone that further information reported it to e-bay. I tried to write the address on the ad but did not get any response. If I had, at that point I might have dropped a note to e-bay. I felt that it was worth a posting since there seems to be growing number of these if comments from various car groups I read are any indication. The scams for some of the car people are also offers to buy your car.
I am sorry if you feel that this was in improper posting, I just thought a reminder to be cautious now and then was not a bad thing. I am delighted that e-bay is getting better at pulling scam ads, but I am also sure that they are doing it because of people complaining, not just because they get warm fuzzy feelings about it!
