What's up with this one? No bids. Anyone know about this car?

This keeps popping up time to time...I contacted the guy the last time it was posted and got this very cryptic response...never pursued it as it seemed too odd.

Clues - no, make that screaming red flags!
- Listing is restricted to "pre-approved" bidders or buyers
- Seller has "0" feedback
Looks like a scam artist trying to lure buyers off ebay and any "preceived" protection afforded them by ebay (none in reality). The real goal is to catch as many suckers as possible by promising each buyer he'll sell the car to them if they just wire transfer a deposit. He might even get a few of them to send funds to complete the purchase.
CAVEAT EMPTOR!

No VIN, a "0" rating, "approved bidders only" all send my warning flag to full mast. You'd think a guy with this much done to a car would be a little more forthcoming or responsive.
If however, the lister of the car is reading this, no need to stay in the shadows around here; we're just looking out for each other.

I've been watching that car for a few days. I thought it was a scam, and the fact there there is no action on the item makes me believe that others agree.

It has all the indications of another scam.
The car doesn't look familiar but check the cars for sale at PI.
Many of them have been relisted by scammers.
Best warn everyone to stay away from this one.

This car was legimately for sale on E-Bay a couple of years ago. As I recall I believe it is a Hall Super Pantera.
I believe the rest of the Forum members are absolutely correct, it does look like a scam.

...and the verdict is....
BUSTED! Off of ebay. Goner. Vanished like the vapor that resides where the lister's ethics ought to be.
How many brain cells has the loser wasted trolling for email addresses, which generally end up in Spam filters anyway? You just wish you could shake these people, possibly holding them with long pointy stainless steel ice tongs for a better grip.

These people rely on greed as the primary lever or hook.
Everyone wants to get a deal. Everyone is tempted when a guy pulls up with a truck and says he has a load of 6 foot HD flat screen TV's that he has to get rid of.
I always remind myself that if it is too good to be true, then it probably is.
Beter yet, that hot chick that was flirting was most likely interested in that lumb she saw in your pants.
That lump being your wallet.
And you thought it was just because you're a hot sexy thing. You gotta be kidding.
