What do you think?

I passed this one up because the guy had 0 feedback. It's always hard to know what to do in those cases. Additionally, I sent him a message asking if the auction included both motors and he never responded. The ad reads as though both are included. If this checked out, somebody got one killer deal!

His ID: kremp4jr( 0 )

Well, judging by his feedback @ zero and the fact that he's changed his name which is indicated by that little yellow thingy, and also a member since only 9/5/07 I think he's a loser and likely an overseas scammer. Also this loser didn't even post a word about shipping or local pickup? RUN RUN RUN is what I'd do! What hes doing is hoping someone will pay him at the end of the auction without working out the details on shipping or pickup...........If he tries this 10 times a month and gets one out of 10 - then he's making $4000 +/- per month. Gotta hate the scammers.

He could be totally legit - if he is he is still a dummy for how he went about selling IMO.

Found this on eBay too. *It indicates they are probably trying to at the very least dupe you into a down payment at the end of the auction:

I once had a boat for sale for $1500 with no reserve but had a buy it now on it. *Don't you know that a scammer *with negative 3 feedback hit the buy it now button and I lost my listing and final value fee of like $80!! *I did get some back through eBay but you can't be too careful on eBay. *I am leary of using buy it now on big items and I will cancel a zero feedback or suspicious bidder's bid in a heartbeat! *I have recently! I had to cancel a guy's bid on my Jeep Cherokee I sold. He didn't even complain about it so I feel sure he was not legit.
