In searching for my son's car we were watching and enquiring on a number of Mustangs. I got the same e-mail response about how the family had moved overseas and the car was stored in Florida on no less than four listings. That really woke me up and I filed fraud warnings to Ebay, but they never removed the listings.
This was big reason we decided to focus in on local listings in driving distance for a physical inspection and cash transaction.
Another thing I noticed is that completed listings tend to diappear from search really quickly lately, especially on re-listing so you can't look back at what it bid up to previously.
"Caveat emptor" is foremost in my mind these days, the times of a honest Gentleman's Agreement seem long past.
