Read the listing and you will see it. Pretty slick!

Yea, the catch is at the bottom of the listing. $500 is only the deposit. Its likely you'll see this ad revised soon.

Full price is $17,995.

If I had $500 to hang up for a month or two, I'd hit the Buy-It-Now right now, but the ol' lady's overseas, and Heaven knows what she'll try to buy.

The eBay price is clearly $500, so as far as EBay is concerned, the first person to hit the button gets the car. If the guy refuses to let it go, it's an eBay beef, and he'll get dinged and the buyer will get his money back.

Charlie, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Its still true, the buyer beware and be careful.

This behavior needs to be wiped out.

This is only my opinion.

By the way, the seller was ricci.inc, 101 ratings, 100% positive, member since 2004, selling mostly watches, keychains and cigarette lighters.

Keep an eye out.
