Curiously, the one that drew the most scam activity was the 1992 9000T I listed for around $4k. I got no less than 6 scam attempts on that one, all of them as easy to spot as could be. Even if I had not read the warnings, it was blatant. Makes me wonder what sort of fools would fall for this crap... The second car was a 2000 900SET Convertible. It had a *much* higher asking price ($15,900 as I recall) and did not draw a single nigerian email. I guess they figure the lower priced guys are somehow more apt to fall for their scam? The best one was the eBay ad for a BMW M3 with some ridiculously low buy-it-now price. The story that guy gave me by email was hilarious. The car was in europe and had to be transported back to the US. I'm fairly sure that he did not even own the car, but had just taken a couple of pictures of one along the side of the road. -Fred W
