Chances of this being a scam: 100%
Chance of people actually going and bidding: 100%
When will people learn?

I saw an auction for a 2004 bmw m3 with 15 miles on it selling for 20k, i contacted the seller, and asked if i could fly to him (he was about a 2 hour flight from me), but of course he didn't have the car at the address listed, it was in new york. His preffered payment was also via wire transfer. I was like ill bring the cash with me when i check out the car, and then he never called back. People do ____ like that on ebay all the time.

No proof! They make a new account, fake info, (often times u can tell by messed up screennames) then they sell a buncha things with 0 feedback, make you pay western union, take your money, close the account, and thats it. not hard to get a simple yahoo or hotmail aco____ these days and fake some info. bad people

I always watch. On big ticket items I always like to ask the seller a question or two and see if he/she actualyl responds. Make sure they have a good amount of feedback adn ahve sold high ticket items in the past without any issues. Just check their feedback really quick, ask a question about the item and you're good. Oh and very important make sure their pictures are actual pictures of the items, not just something of a website they copy and pasted, thats bad news too. So three small steps and you make sure you dont get ripped off.

Even if it was legit, do you think it would have the correct maps for the US?
