Darn, it's "Invalid Item" now. What was it, Ken?

Yep, invalid item. From the link I'm guessing it was someone trying to "re-sell" that $8K Capri? someone in China maybe?

We should have bid it to the stars, then offered to pay with
a MO that was 5 times the winning amount on the condition
that the seller give the difference back when our representative picked it up......
You know the rest ....

I got a second chance offer on the original auction. But then again, I guess a lot of people did.

Yup. Paypal only, zero feedback seller, mispelled and unknowledgeable description. Price way too good to be true. Marks of a scammer.

Somebody please bid a million...

It's got a nasty crack in the body.

Might be legit, since it does have some significant damage, the seller was smart to start reasonable. Maybe!
