her response:
Thank you for contacting me about my 2006 MALIBU 23LSV that I have for sale. This boat is in great shape (145 hours,hull# MB2S4696K506,Engine: 340HP MONSOON). I'm the original owner. It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, never been in salt water. It is in immaculate condition,meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident. I do have the title, clear, under my name.My husband and I divorced last year,after the divorce I was awarded with the boat, I don't need it and that's why I'm selling it so cheap.The total price is $20,000 including delivery and handling. It is located in Indianapolis, IN. I recently moved here after I divorced. We can use eBay protection program for our safety and for payment I prefer to use a eBay's buyer protection plan. The financial part will be managed by them. Which means that you will have 10 days inspection period before committing to buy the vehicle, a refund policy is included. The deal will go strictly according to eBay rules and policy. There are no other costs on this transaction through eBay. Let me know if you want to buy it.
Regards,
Melissa Rosal

Is that a well-known dealership or something? I swear I've seen those pictures (or that location) before somewhere...

My buddy had an X-2 for sale that had his website on it.
Someone took pictures for a scam and he was contacted letting them know what was going on.

Crazy what people will do to screw someone else!

her latest reply to which i said ship that sucka here for a test drive or take the scam elsewhere, at some point she says the "car" will be delivered, trying to see if i can piss them off and get enough information to turn them in to craigslist

---------------------

Hi again,

The boat is already at the delivery company in Indianapois, IN ready for delivery. Unfortunately I'm not near you and my daughter is in hospital so I can't meet in person with you so this is the reason why I chose to sell my boat on internet.Since the boat and all the documents are already deposited at the eBay company, they will handle the shipping. It is very simple, I used them before and I am 100% satisfied with their services because they protect both of us (buyer and seller). As I said, I will pay the delivery taxes .

Let me explain you how it works:

The deal will be closed through eBay's Buyer Protection Program (which protects us both 100%). You'll make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money for you initially. After payment is done, eBay will deliver the boat to you.

1)I need your transport information (your name and shipping address) also your phone number in order to contact eBay to start the transaction.
2)You will receive a notification from the eBay company as a confirmation that the boat is in their custody and also that the boat has been tested.
3)You will have to make the payment to the eBay Company Bank Account as a guarantee.
4)The eBay company will verify the payment and if everything is in order they will deliver the car to your location address.
5)After you will receive the boat and you will be completely satisfied with it, you will confirm to the eBay company your decision. You have 10 days to inspect it and take a decision.
6)Transport company will take care for all export paper work documents and they help you to register the boat in your state.

The payment will be released to me ONLY AFTER you have received the boat and had 10 days to inspect and test it.
Delivery: 3 - 5 days

AFTER they receive your payment confirmation they will start the delivery. You will have a 10 days inspection period to test the boat and to decide if you want to keep it or not. ONLY if you decide to keep it and after you register it on your name the delivery company will give me the money. If you decide not to keep it they will give your money back in 48 hours.

If you agree with the price and terms please email me your full details(name and shipping address) so I can start the transaction.

Regards,

Melissa Rosal

Why isnt there a craigslist hero finding these damn scammers and kicking the stuff out of them?
